Reviews over the

Bontrager Verse Elite

Well, good experience and sensations in the three outings I've done, I really liked the design in general and we'll see how it responds over time. For medium distance outings it's perfect

Very good saddle, even better than the cheaper Verse Comp. Many times lighter than this one, padding very similar.

I was looking for a saddle with a recess in the sides. Partly due to mantel's help in choosing a saddle, I ended up with this type of saddle. I returned the first saddle after 2 weeks for free because of pain in the sit bones and ordered a narrower saddle. Saddle fits well now and the noble parts are spared. Personally I find the saddle a bit harder but it gives great support even on longer trips. Tip: for measuring the seat bones: remove the top layer of paper from the cardboard and sit on the ribbed side, the impression in the cardboard is then much better visible and the distance can be measured much more accurately.

Pros & Cons

After the Bontrager Montrose pro broke down after a crash o looking for a new saddle. Old saddle is no longer available so purchased the "replacement" Verse. I don't like it as much as the Montrose. There I could sit on it for days at a time without discomfort. With the Verse I can feel the opening in the middle which is slightly wider than with the predecessor. Old saddle was still in very good condition. If this one is as solid then the durability will be good.

Pros & Cons

Fine saddle. The saddle originally fitted to my mountain bike was much too narrow for me. Definitely recommend measuring your sit bones in the store itself for good advice.

Pros & Cons

Fine saddle. After riding on a too narrow and tight saddle for a long time resulting in a lot of saddle pain, this is a relief!

Saddle sits fine. After previous saddle that sagged, now have to get used to the hardness.
