- Significantly less muscle fatigue for better performance on the bike and when running
- 3 years of development with World-Class triathletes such as two-time Ironman European Champion Laura Philipp
Technical Specifications
The perfect saddle for you–Find your power position
In the many years of development work between Ergon and world-class triathletes like Jan Frodeno, Laura Philipp and Jan Stratmann, it was clear that triathletes differ with two sitting types – Front and Mid. This applies to both men and women. Some female riders put more weight on the middle section of the saddle and round their backs significantly. Others sit on the front part of the saddle and keep their back lower and straighter.
Ergonomically precise adjustment–Perfect shape for women
Due to the different anatomy compared to male triathletes, the lower aero upper body posture places more pressure on different structures in the sitting area. Accordingly, the SR Tri Women Front with its wide and soft saddle nose is perfectly adapted to women who ride in the front power position.
Less back fatigue–Ride and run faster!
Our aim was to perfect the ergonomics of the triathlon saddle down to the smallest detail and improve overall performance. The optimized saddle shape ensures less back muscle fatigue, improved, more efficient pedaling ergonomics and a high level of comfort. This relieves the muscle chains required for running and the transition to the run can be started fresher and with more energy. The SR Tri helps you ride and run faster!
Developed with top triathletes–Laura Philipp sits Mid
Laura Philipp and Ergon collaborated on the development of the SR Tri Women Mid saddle. The top German athlete finds her Power Position with it, guaranteeing better performance on the bike and on the run.
Prevents numbness in the perineal area–No pain, more power
As the symphysis (pubic arch) in women is 25 percent lower than in men, an especially high level of relief is required in this area. The highly flexible 3D printed insert achieves this by supporting the load-bearing area in the relief channel. The adapted flexability of the insert can generate additional support while improving the overall relief of the genital area.
Precise and easy setup–BMR line for optimum adjustment
The BioMechanical Reference line (BMR line) is marked on the saddle surface of all SR Tri saddles. This shows the meridian of the saddle – the point at which the saddle is exactly 75 millimeters wide. The BMR line is a reference point for the correct fitting of height, fore/aft position, inclination and the correct saddle nose distance. The BMR line is also an important reference point for precise adjustment using our Fittingbox Road.
Made in Europe–Sustainable quality with precision
The SR Tri Women Front saddle is Made in Europe! This guarantees the best material quality and manufacturing while shortening supply chains, reducing production waste and complying to European recycling standards. That’s good for the environment – and good for you!
Better cycling and running
Combined with our proven Orthopedic Comfort Foam, the shape of the saddle allows triathletes to ride in the aero position longer without pain. Because the muscle chains of the legs and the back muscles can work more efficiently, your cycling performance improves and the transition to the run is easier and faster.
Faster with the Power Position
The SR Tri Women Mid is designed with a flatter nose to allow athletes to make the smallest movements on the saddle. This allows triathletes to vary the pressure distribution over a longer period of time and reduce muscle fatigue – especially in the back area.
Pain-free and efficient
Pressure reduction in the genital area not only increases comfort, it also makes you faster. The SR Tri Women Mid features a soft, highly flexible 3D print insert in the nose area. This delivers further relief for women's pressure-sensitive areas – especially in long-distance races. Ride pain-free longer and perform at your best!
