The Explorer gives you the ability to ride your bike to places you never thought possible. The Explorer has ample padding that is just as good at taming the harsh gravel roads as they are the cobbles and potholes of the city. It was designed with a cut-out to prevent numbness on those multi-day epic bike packing rides and has been tested on legendary routes like the Oregon Outback and Allegheny Mountains Loop. Extra Padding For Extra Comfort 18mm of plush padding to be exact. The Smanie EX series saddle comes with ample padding in the sit-bone region and on the nose, to give you extra comfort in a medium posture riding position that most adventure riders use. Eco Friendly It is at Smanie’s core to always be pushing the limits as to what we can do to make our saddles more environmentally friendly. We start by producing all of our products from recycled materials. That includes all Smanie covers, foam, bases, rails, and even our packaging. Modern Shape The EX is a modern saddle for a modern style of riding. Bikes are taking people to some of the most breath taking places on the planet and while these explorers endure exposure to elements and mother nature, enduring saddle discomfort is not something they signed up for. Featuring a generous cut-out with soft edges to facilitate blood flow and limit numbness the EX is 267mm long by 155 mm wide – not too short and not too wide. Modern Look, More Comfort The DRS has a classic understated look that makes it clear choice for anyone that wants to keep the focus on the bike itself. Black saddle, black graphics keep the saddle simple yet stylish. That doesn’t mean the saddle isn’t packed with features. The rail bend purposefully gives the saddle some of the most forward or aft rail adjustment of any saddle on the market. The understated graphics are purposefully placed to add just a bit of grip to the saddle without going overboard. The unique suspended base design keeps the saddle stiff enough to allow for optimal power transfer into the pedals, yet allow for just enough give to dampen road vibrations.
