Designed with enduro racing in mind, Ergon have produced a superb saddle for steep terrain. The rails extend a long way back, which allows the saddle to be set up far forward. This effectively steepens the seat angle, to put you in a better position for steep climbs. The shape is very neutral, with quite even pressure across the whole sitting area. We had no sore spots or chafing, but those who want to eliminate pressure from their undercarriage will want something with a more pronounced pressure-relief channel. It’s a pretty comfy perch, but needs the nose pointed down to provide plenty of support when climbing. Though moderately wide at 142mm, our ‘medium’ version (there’s also a ‘small’ size) felt very easy to move around on and didn’t get in the way on steep descents.
