N.Spire 146 – Medium
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
MSRP: $99.00

Smanie Apex
The inside line, coming in hot – the Apex is designed for riders with an aggressive riding style. It is for those who are just as at home in a criterium race as they are sending the steeps on their XC or trail bike. If you love an aggressive riding posture, this saddle is for you. The use of ETPU + Gel padding means that the Apex is ideal for long days in the saddle. The Apex features a short-nose that is designed to keep the rider in the sweet spot and eliminates the need to shift positions on the saddle.
Wide Platform, Gently Sloping Profile
The wide and flat platform at rear portion of the saddle gives the rider the perfect perch for maximum stability while putting down huge efforts. The Apex is the evolution of the GP series. It takes the classic flat profile of the GP and introduces a gentle slope from back to front that puts the rider into the power position. It also utilizes a large cut out from back to front to give the rider the ability to get as aero as possible with full pelvic rotation without sacrificing comfort in the perineum area.
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 Racing Shape
The Apex is is as modern as it gets. It’s sleek lines beg for speed. It is short, yet long enough that the profile of the saddle creates a clear area for the sit-bones to rest. It takes the thought out of which position is best for a powerful riding posture by creating a clearly defined area due to the gentle slope from the rear to the middle section of the saddle. The Apex is 252mm long by 146 mm wide – short, sleek and speed oriented.
More Features, Better Performance
The Apex has incorporates ETPU + Gel padding to allow for the thinnest padding profile but, yet still offer support when rides are beyond the 3-hour mark. This saddle incorporates our newest and best vibration dampening technologies including our proprietary Nylon blended base that allows for maximum compliance while still remaining supportive when the terrain gets rough. In addition to the vibration dampening technology in the base, the unique flex rail technology gives the rider the most supple and vibration-free ride possible all while being lightweight .

Smanie DRS
Sleek and aerodynamic – the DRS is designed for riders with an aggressive riding style who prefer a more curved geometry on the edges of the saddle. It is for those who are always pushing the limit in the breakaway and demand that their equipment performs at the same level they do. If you love an aggressive riding posture, but like saddles that allow added pedaling efficiency from curved edges this is the saddle for you.
Large Cut Out, Rolled Edges
The DRS is a racers saddle. It utilizes a large cut out from back to front to give the rider the ability to get as arrow as possible with full pelvic rotation without sacrificing comfort in the perineum area. Wider saddles have always been a double-edged sword. They provide a large platform to allow the rider to put down maximum power, but many times lead to bruising on the back of riders legs on longer rides. The rolled edges of the DRS allow for those who are pushing speed to the limits to have full leg extension through the pedal stroke and reduce the amount the wider sit-bone area of the saddle comes in contact with the hamstring muscle.

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.
