Overall, this is a well made saddle with a pretty substantial padding layer. I came across this saddle based on my criteria of a 135ish width without a hole to use on a gravel bike. The padding comfort is top notch and the width was perfect for me, but unfortunately the edges are pretty square and on long rides I noticed pain on my inner thighs. I have found this saddle to be perfect for a cx race with the thicker padding and shorter ride time, though.

My new gravel bike came with a cheap crappy seat. I needed a new seat, and a previous saddle fit showed a flat saddle worked best. I ordered the Ergon saddle due to its shape, reputation and minimal (but sufficient) padding. I�ve put about 300 miles on it and it�s worked out well after several 4-5 hours in the saddle on both gravel and pavement. No regrets.

I have an �adventure� bike that has a lot to like but a rather stiff ride. I had read that this saddle can soften the overall ride, so I gave it a try. And it does! Have to say I�m amazed at how much road chatter it took out. And it�s not like riding a pillow, it feels like a bike saddle. The shape works for me as well. It replaced a Brooks B-17 that was just not working for me. It has really made a positive difference for this bike. Of course saddles are different for everyone but this is my experience.

The Ergon SR Core Pro saddle is supremely comfortable and designed as well as other Ergon products I have on several of my bikes. Best bang for your buck when deciding on grips, tape and saddles.

I have been using other Ergon saddles but wanted a bit more vibration damping for running skinny tires on our tarred and graveled roads with gaps every 100 feet in the asphalt . Combining the wider width for my apparently wide set sit bones, and the excellent damping properties of the "magic beads", this is an awesome but still lightweight and firm saddle, which results in surprising comfort, but still high efficiency. Highly recommended! I have the lighter titanium rails so the weight is very competitive. And of course thanks to the Ergon design, no trace of numbness down there on long rides.

Absolutely love this saddle! I've been trying out a ton of saddles lately as my sit bones seem to hurt more and more as I get older, and this one nails it in terms of comfort while not being too padded. I hadn't heard of this brand before but saw it coming up in multiple articles about "most comfortable saddles". Highly recommended!

I�ve used many saddles from a wide array of manufacturers over the years. I installed the Ergonomic on my Otso gravel bike, and it is definitely my favorite for trail and light single track riding. I�ll be replacing my road bike saddle with an Ergon in the Spring.

I am very picky about my saddle and I decided to give this saddle a try after having problems with an older saddle that was not holding up on long rides. I measured my sit bones and realized I needed a slightly wider saddle but one that offered comfort for 50 to 70 mile rides. I have been riding this for about 6 weeks now and it is working out for me. Offered in two different widths.

I bought this for my gravel bike. I initially set it up with the nose too high, which made it a bit uncomfortable. For the second ride, I got it much closer to level, with the nose just a bit higher than the back. They recommend completely level, but I've always ridden with the nose a bit higher. After lowering the nose, it turned out to be much better with no resulting pain.
