All specifications
The Bontrager Verse Elite replaces the well-known Bontrager Ajna and Bontrager Montrose saddles. With its improved design the Verse Elite is light and stiff, providing optimal support for competitive riders. As this saddle has a wide cut-out and is available in different widths, it is suitable for women and men. It is also suitable for both on-road and off-road riding.

The shell of the Bontrager Verse Elite saddle is reinforced with carbon, which makes the saddle extra stiff, improving power transfer and control. A carbon-reinforced saddle shell is also less likely to sag than a nylon saddle, and will therefore last longer. The shell is covered with a thin yet comfortable padding, which is finished with an anti-slip cover to prevent too much shifting during cycling.

The rails of the Bontrager Verse Elite are made from Cromoly steel. Using this unique composite and design Bontrager has managed to make these rails lighter than titanium!

Saddle shape
This saddle has a semi-round rear part, making it highly suitable for riders who move a little as they ride and whose hips rock a little from side to side. The semi-round shape provides plenty of support for these riders, while still offering sufficient freedom of movement compared to a flat saddle.

Flexibility
This is an S-shaped saddle, meaning that it is raised at the back and lowered in the middle. This S-shape makes it possible for people with an inflexible spine to sit in a sporty cycling position. This has to do with pelvis rotation; people with an inflexible spine often have more trouble rotating their pelvis.

Cut-out
This saddle has a wide cut-out which alleviates pressure for those who often experience discomfort or pressure to their soft tissue areas.

zeer tevreden over

- Jozef 11 January 2026

deze zadel staat ook op mijn buitenfiets, dus kocht ik deze zadel ook voor op de binnen fiets - waardoor ik minder last heb van zadelpijnen

Pros & Cons

goed zadel
makkelijke montage
mooi zadel

5 / 5

Good comfortable saddle

- Frans 7 October 2025

After a crash damaged my bontrager saddle fresh Comp now bought this one. This saddle is even better than the fresh Comp as it is much more comfortable than the previous one. You also stay on this much more securely and hardly slide forward or backwards. As always great service from Mantel regarding delivery and packaging.

Superb saddle

- Roland 27 August 2025

Having tried several saddles from different manufacturers, I took the same brand as on my old bike and from the first ride I was super comfortable, no pain after 4 hours, so I found the saddle I needed.

Super saddle, I recommend+++.

- Gérard 15 August 2025

After several outings both in the mountains with big differences in altitude and on the plains, I didn't feel any discomfort.

4 / 5

Great saddle, light, firm, good support.

- Leo 27 July 2024

Similar padding to my Selle Italia Novus Superflow Evo Performance that needed replacing. The relationship seat bone width vs saddle width is not quite correct on the Mantel website. I had to take a size wider to sit properly. Compare the suggested saddle widths on the Verse Elite and the Verse Short Elite. So pay attention.

Pros & Cons

Firm but not hard
Good shape, cross-section reasonably flat
Nice and light.
Short, your bib does not get caught behind the tip.
Material a bit smoother than hoped for.
The red version is not on the site ;-)
