The fairly wide nose describes a large V shape from the rear of the saddle, offering a wide support area around this opening. The rear of the saddle, which is rather narrow, also preserves freedom of movement, particularly in descending positions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis women's saddle is built around a sturdy nylon shell, resting on chromoly steel rails. It uses comfortable orthopaedic foam padding and a microfibre cover.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA few tips for fitting your Ergon SM saddle correctly:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eTilt (The most critical point)\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eUnlike certain older-generation saddles, the Ergon SM Women has a slightly raised rear section and a hollowed-out central channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAdvice:\u003c\/b\u003e Start with a \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"35\"\u003eperfectly horizontal\u003c\/b\u003e position.
