Smanie EX Sport (Explorer)
The Explorer – #smanieexplorersclub. Is designed to do one thing above all else and that is to give you the ability to ride your bike to places you never thought possible. The EX 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 bikepacking rides and has been tested on legendary routes like the Oregon Outback and Allegheny Mountains Loop. The best of all is that it is at a price that won’t break the bank and weighs in at the same weight as similar saddles with Chromoly rails. So, get out and do what you love to do most, explore, and know that the EX will have your back throughout the entire journey.
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 our 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 breathtaking 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.
Cash is king
The EX comes in at a price that won’t break the bank. Some high-end saddles finishing material can fade, discolor or look worn after several seasons of use, the EX is designed to stay looking like new after miles and years of riding. The longevity of the saddle comes from our use of a PU cover and PU foam to help keep the money in your pocket and you on the road or trail.

N.Spire 136 – Narrow
An anatomically engineered saddle specifically with the off-road rider in mind; whether you compete among the world’s elite enduro racers on an international platform, if getting lost in your local mountain range is your thing, if you intend to slay your local CX series or grind out countless hours on gravel roads, our N.Spire saddle was designed for you. The N.Spire colorways allow you to find your style and match your saddle to your grips, pedals, decals, frame or even your kit. Used by Pro mountain bikers Polygon UR Team and KS-Kenda Women’s elite racer Jennifer Malik for Enduro and XC applications.
The Design:
N.Spire is based upon an optimal shape for comfort on long rides, while still providing a cut-out that protects riders from nerve damage. The cut-out is created by using varying layers and thicknesses of foam, strategically placed so that when they interact with soft-tissue nerve pressure is relieved. The end result, a saddle that delivers all-day comfort on the harshest of terrains.The Science:
The N.Spire series was designed by pro MTB, CX racer and Bio-Medical Engineer, Ph.D., Jen Malik. She created one of the most scientifically advanced and anatomically correct saddles on the market. 40 CT scans, multiple pressure mapping studies, finite element modeling and nearly 500 different model variations later a saddle that nearly eliminates all pressure and hotspots was developed. The standards applied to this saddle’s design were so rigorous that they generally are only reserved for medical devices.Riding Posture: Medium/Endurance
