The Ergon SMS (Saddle Mountain Short) Sport is a high-performance mountain bike saddle engineered specifically for modern, progressive trail geometries. Shorter and more compact than the standard SM series, the SMS design accommodates the more upright, aggressive seating positions typical of modern MTBs while cutting down on weight.
Core Design & Geometry Updates
-
Saddle Mountain Short (SMS): The standout feature is its shortened, flat nose profile. This compact shape allows for maximum rider mobility and prevents shorts from snagging during technical descents while offering excellent support when shifting weight forward on steep climbs.
-
Aggressive Pressure Relief: The SMS features a significantly larger, deeper center ergonomic relief channel compared to the older SM series. This configuration completely eliminates pressure, pain, and numbness in the sensitive perineal area.
-
Orthopedic Firmness: The padding consists of medical-grade orthopedic comfort foam. It is tuned to be noticeably firmer than the plush SMC series, optimizing it for efficient power transfer and long days tackling cross-country, all-mountain, or bikepacking trails.
- Premium Materials: It is built with high-quality, lightweight TiNox XP titanium-alloy rails, a durable nylon composite shell, and a modern microfibre cover that features seamless edge bonding.
Sizing Specifications
Like most Ergon saddles, the SMS Sport relies on your measured sit bone width to ensure correct pelvic support:

-
M/L (Medium/Large): Fits sit bone widths from 12 cm to 16 cm (Weighs ~280g).
