SME3 Pro Carbon Saddle

Ergon’s SME3 Pro Carbon Saddle strikes the balance between a saddle stiff enough to not rob you of precious power, and a saddle that provides enough comfort that you can continue to ride. The shell of the SME3 is constructed from carbon fiber with pockets molded in where your sit bones will hit. The pockets are then filled with multi-layer, elastic padding, which results in a saddle that is phenomenally comfortable, but doesn’t give an inch to super-aggressive, race-focused saddles.

Obviously, Ergon’s a German company, and doesn’t have a long history in saddle manufacture. That’s why they turned to one of the oldest names in saddle-making, Selle Italia, to do the manufacturing, based on Ergon’s specifications.
