I just recently bought an Ergon SR3 Pro Road Saddle that I've found to be the most comfortable saddle I've used after a bit of adjustment. I'm considering trying an Ergon saddle on the bike I use for gravel and path riding but I'm not sure if I should go with the SR3 that I know I like or should I try their SFC3 which is designed for riding more in line with the riding I do on that bike. Of course I'm much more upright on the path bike than I am on my road bike and I'm sure that's considered in the design of the saddles.

I was hoping that someone may have used Ergon saddles of different design on different styles of bikes and riding.The SFC3 is reasonably priced at about $25 so getting one and not liking it wouldn't be a great loss. Ergon also offers a line of MTB saddles which might also be an option. Just looking for any advice.

Would be interesting to see what you find. Have you tried the saddle you already have on the other bike? I have some Selle Royal Scientia Relaxed saddles that I need to put on the Mrs & my path bikes. Looks huge compared to a road bike saddle, but might be the right thing for upright riding.

No, I haven't tried the road (SR3) on either of my other bikes. I ended up ordering an SMC3, what is described on Ergon's web site as a "comfort" mountain seat. Produkte ? ERGON BIKE

I just put a Nashbar sourced Ergon SR3-L on my '02 Allez. I took measurements from the old saddle for location. On the first ride it was very uncomfortable. The surface transition from vertical to horizontal, was very sharp compared to my old Specialized. I moved the new saddle forward about 1/4", and its all good now. A little firmer than the original, but so far so good, especially at $25.

I am also curious about the Ergon saddles. I can't seem to find many/ if any reviews on them. I am looking to get the SFC3 Evo Gel for my FX 7.2 and they run about $75.

Mine was comfortable right from the start but after an hour or so I went numb in the twig & berries, totally numb. I stopped to get off the bike and get the feeling back. while I was stopped I decided to try lowing the nose a bit. The adjustment I made wasn't even visible, I loosened the back bolt about 3 turns and tightened the front bolt the same. After that adjustment I had no issues at all.

The base SFC3 Comp Gel can be had for less than $30 shipped on eBay. . I paid $42.50 shipped from The Bike Smiths for the SMC3. . I chose it over the SFC3 because the shape was closer to the SR3 that is working so well on my road bike and there was only one of the large SMC3 left in stock.

I'm going to try the SMC3 on both my MTB bikes and see if I like it there. I bought the large but I'm thinking I might go down to a medium on my single track bike due to the dropper seatpost.

I grabbed a white sr3-L Pro off nashbar for $20 or so last winter to complement a light pink frame with white cables and tape.

Interesting saddle.

Fits differently from any other i own or have tried in the past. Extremely flat top.

Took a bit of time, but i can use it for up to about 2 hours of riding before i notice it. And by that time i am usually ready for a short break anyways.

The Ergon saddles are well designed and well made and I am surprised there is not much talk about them. They are very comfortable. As with any saddle you do have to tweak position a little to find what fits you best. If you can find some of them on close out on Nashbar and other sites they are ridiculously cheap.

Yes, I bought my SRC3 Pro from Nashbar for $25.98 shipped. That was a single item that did not meet the minimum free shipping of $49. I think that was $29.99 with a 30% off and $4.99 shipping. I bought the SMC 3 on eBay from BikeSmiths for $42.50 shipped with 8% back with my eBay bucks for an actual price of $39.10. The SMC3 will be in tomorrow according to USPS tracking. I'll install it on my old MTB (Fuji Nevada, 24" frame and 26" wheels) that I use for gravel riding. I may try to get up to the Creeper Trail again Saturday and give it a thorough test, riding more than the 50 miles I did last week.

I did a 40 mile ride the first time out on my road bike with the SRM3 Pro. I went completely numb in the (for lack of better description) twig and berries, COMPLETELY!!!! about 30 miles into that ride. I lowered the nose slightly and have had no discomfort since (logged about 100 miles on that bike).

I will probably still give the SFC-3 a try, at $28 it's worth buying for just for the comparison but I'll wait until I've ridden the SRM. The SRC3 is a keeper on the road bike but I still have the hardtail (what I consider to be my "real" MTB) and the Fuji that I consider to be my gravel bike. I have a Giant Connect saddle on the gravel bike now, which is just as flat but a bit differently shaped than the Ergons.

I'm still wanting to try a WTB Volt, it may be a better MTB saddle for me and I'm hoping to try either a Brooks or Selle Anatomica X on my vintage Simoncini if I'm ever able to get it painted the way I want.

After about a year, I finally acknowledged that a Brooks Cambium C15 didn't suit me, and broke down and tried a Fabric saddle on demo --- it worked well, but decided to order an Ergon SFC3 Gel in small from the LBS I borrowed the demo from and am glad I did, since it seems to suit me even better than the Fabric.
