After intensive research with X-ray and CT analysis, they have created a new generation of saddles. Countless prototypes have been tested by both professionals and recreational riders. This feedback, in combination with scientific data developed a new generation of comfort for women.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003ePelvic Fleibility\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhen women on the MTB, they tend to rock more forward than in men due to an increase flexibility in the pelvis and hips. This often causes considerable pressure in the genital area. The SM Women is designed in a way to support a woman’s wider and more rocked forward bony structures while alleviating the sensitive soft tissue with a tapered cut out. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThe deep pubic symphysis\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAnatomically, the pubic symphysis (anterior cartilage connection between the two halves of the pelvis) is about a quarter lower in women than in men. In addition, the angle of the pubic bones to each other is larger. We have also taken this into account in the SM Women in order to prevent discomfort in the sensitive areas.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThe sensitive genital area\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDue to the characteristics of women’s pelvis, women have suffered discomfort for years on standard saddles. The SM Women alleviates sensitive soft tissue pressure with the tapered relief channel preventing numbness and pain. Alleviating this pressure better distributes the rider’s body weight more towards the sit bones while allowing a more comfortable pressure-free forward rocked position.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThe right size\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe shape and size of the saddle must match the sit bone width of the rider to maximize comfort and enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe pelvic bone has a unique V-shaped and the saddle must offer the sit bones a large contact surface with the ability to meet the demand of different sitting positions. Various saddle widths are offered so that the usable seat surface corresponds to the riders unique sit bone distance.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe more forward and aggressive the rider sits, the further forward the sit bones contact the saddle.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"block zeta txt--uppercase txt--bold\"\u003eCUSTOMIZED RELIEF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"visually-hidden\"\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"block gamma\"\u003ePressure Relief\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBased on intensive research and feedback from our test riders, we created a specific tapered cut out that supports and alleviates unnecessary pressures on sensitive female anatomy.

To prevent discomfort in the extremely sensitive perineal and genital areas, the pressure is distributed as evenly as possible over the sit bones using anatomical gel pads.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"block zeta txt--uppercase txt--bold\"\u003eORTHOPEDIC FOAM\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"visually-hidden\"\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"block gamma\"\u003eComfortable and durable\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe main padding of this saddle series is made of orthopedic foam, which is especially ergonomic for mountain biking, but still extremely durable.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"block zeta txt--uppercase txt--bold\"\u003eFLAT REAR\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"visually-hidden\"\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"block gamma\"\u003eBest mobility for dynamic riding\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSince MTB riders generally sit more upright on their saddles, we have designed the ramp at the end of the saddle to be less steep. In addition, the radius of the leg cut-out is chosen so that the SM Women Sport Gel always has enough sitting area for a dynamic position. And when actively riding in a standing position, the saddle provides you with the space you need, but also the necessary support and control.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"block zeta txt--uppercase txt--bold\"\u003eANTI-FRICTION SIDE FLANKS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"visually-hidden\"\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"block gamma\"\u003eLess friction more movement\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFor an additional benefit of comfort, we have added anti-friction side flanks to the SM Women Sport Gel.
