SFC3

I've been biking since 2010 but every year I still experience saddle pain on my first few rides of the season. I've also never paid much attention to my sit bone measurement. I always thought cut-outs were the secret to comfort but realizing now perhaps not. This year I finally took my sit bone measurement and took a chance on this company I've never heard of after reading recommendations on Reddit. I've been on my first two rides this year and I'm astonished to be having zero pain. The saddle itself is very simple, nothing much to look at, but who cares when it performs this well? I've ordered a second one with gel for my mountain bike.

I originally bought this saddle for my commuter bike; however, I ended up putting it on a gravel bike. Although the description indicates that it's intended for use without bike shorts, I found that a little too uncomfortable for commuting, at least on the bumpier roads in my area. Nonetheless, it lives up to Ergon's high quality standards and aesthetics and it's been perfect for longer rides on my gravel bike wearing bike shorts.

This saddle is exactly what I have come to expect, this is the second SFC3 I have purchased the first was such revelation of comfort, still good after 2 years of daily use

I don’t think about my saddle anymore.

I'm giving this saddle 4 stars even though my bum doesn't agree with it. Saddles are incredibly personal; what works for one person might not fit another. The 4 stars are based on the fact that it is a very high quality saddle, well built, aesthetically pleasing, relatively lightweight, and I can honestly see how it would be really comfortable for most other riders. I am a 5'6"/157.5cm male weighing roughly 140lbs/63kg. I have tried dozens of saddles trying to find the perfect fit and gave this a go for my commuter due to the sale price. It's not UNcomfortable, I'm still riding it, but there are other saddles out there that fit me better. Even though I'm not getting on with it all that well, I think it would be worth a try for others.
