Ergon saddles aren't just designed, they're engineered. Extensive research and development, plus countless hours of rider testing, goes into each one. For this reason, they are unmatched in rider comfort, thanks to superior materials and ergonomics. This ST Gel is a men's specific touring saddle designed for comfort on long rides. Orthopaedic foam is used to deliver excellent support and energy absorption, so you can pedal all day long without distractions. This is enhanced further by softer Gel pad overlays, which provide extra cushioning for the sit bones. The shape is optimised for the more relaxed riding position that is promoted by touring bikes, so you can ride with a more upright posture in comfort. Men's pelvic structure is significantly different to women's, and Ergon saddles reflect this. The shape and size of the pressure relief channel have been optimised for surface area, without irritating sensitive soft tissue. The overall shape is different too, to better support men's sit bones for comfortable riding, all day long.
