New ergonomic handlebar tape

New BT OrthoCell® – Racing drop bars are now your comfort zone with the world’s most innovative bar tape!

Ergon's new BT OrthoCell® is the first handlebar tape made of this high-tech medical foam that absorbs the fatiguing micro-vibrations from the handlebars yet delivers even and comfortable pressure distribution to the palms. The orthopaedic foam resists over-compressing to deliver support and cushioned damping while retaining precise handling – even when riding on rough gravel, less hand force is required for a secure grip. The anti-slip, omnidirectional surface textures enhance tactile grip in wet and dry conditions. All this innovation combines to alleviate pressure pain, cramping and dangerous numbness in the hands and fingers, no matter how long or rough the ride.

New BT OrthoCell® Top Pads – Boost comfort on the top position on drop bar handlebars

Road and gravel riders spend a lot of time on the top flats of the handlebar. The upright body position is comfortable, but this position on the bars can cause hand pain or micro-vibrations can cause fatigue in the hands, arms, shoulders and neck. The OrthoCell® pads from Ergon erase these issues. Positioned under your handlebar tape, the orthopaedic high-end foam significantly cushions small impacts and surface vibrations and ensures excellent pressure distribution and secure grip. The set of two symmetrical, pre-shaped pads extends from the upper bar top to under the brake lever hoods.

New SMS Series: Comfortable trail ergonomics for mountain bikers

The shorter SMS saddle is specially developed to meet the demands of modern MTB frame geometries. The deep relief channel and padding have been repositioned for improved pressure distribution for this slightly steeper, more upright position. Our new Reactive Performance Foam supports the seat bones, delivers enhanced pressure relief and absorbs vibrations. The extra-quick response of this high-performance foam, which is most dense near the saddle shell, provides unequalled support while eliminating unwanted lateral movements for maximum pedaling efficiency and reduced pressure peaks when riding uphill while the short, flat saddle nose allows freedom of movement on the downhills. The SMS Series is also available in three versions for women.

New SRS Series – The minimalist shape for maximum long-distance comfort

Compact road bike saddles are in vogue, but without the right ergonomics, they could cost you comfort. This is where our SRS series comes in. The shorter, sculpted design has been ergonomically shaped with our proven relief channel and padding positioned for the slightly more upright posture on modern road bike geometries. Additionally, we enlarged the side leg radius for greater freedom of movement. The ergonomically contoured padding made with our new Reactive Performance Foam delivers relief where pressure on the sit bones is concentrated and absorbs harsh road surface vibrations while our new super-thin and tough Skin-Layer surface reduces weight. Freedom of movement, gender-specific perineal relief and optimum power transmission combine in a European made, superbly ergonomic long-distance saddle. Three women's models and one more for men extend the current SRS Series.
