Price-quality a top saddle!

- Max, 1 March, 2024

Good saddle for the price. Nice that this has been produced in an environmentally responsible way with Green-Tech. A good saddle for races, but not for a weekend cyclist.

Pros & Cons

Compact saddle with aero look
Price-quality ratio is top!
Rough surface which prevents sliding on the saddle
Hard saddle
Takes a while to get used to

Good price for great quality

- Victor, 21 February, 2024

You don't slide across the saddle and it moves, barely noticeably, a little along which is particularly pleasant on bad road surfaces. On longer tours it provides fine support. The use of recycled materials is important for the future.

Pros & Cons

Good price
Good seat support
Use recycled materials

Solid saddle at a great price

- Bert, 26 December, 2023

I use it on the Zwift trainer and the seating comfort is fine. What is annoying is that the saddle cover is made of very stiff material, which makes it chafe on the inside of the thighs. I therefore do not yet know if I will keep this saddle

Pros & Cons

Good price/quality
Solid construction
Solid saddle pad material

Good for short trips but does not provide enough support on long trips

- Steven, 10 April, 2023

I bought the saddle because of too much pressure on the perineum from the old saddle. Through the measurements on the site I ended up with this saddle. I had it adjusted to the correct height and setback by the bikefitter and was satisfied with it, no more pressure on the perineum. After a while though, I started having trouble with my sit bones. The problem is that the saddle bends too much at the sides which causes my sit bones to slide off the saddle and creates too much lateral pressure on the hamstrings tendons. For short rides this saddle will do but for longer rides I would still go for a sturdier saddle that does not sag at the sides and offers more support.

Pros & Cons

Takes pressure away from perineum
Saddle is too flexible

I am looking for the same model with a smooth surface

- Frank, 4 January, 2023

I was too satisfied with this saddle sitting on my new bike. I had more support and was therefore able to sit more stable, causing less back pain. Only because of the non-slip surface, your bike shorts wear out really fast. If they do not rub against it

Pros & Cons

Do not slip
Lots of support
Cycling shorts do wear very hard
Hard

I wish I could return it

- James, 26 October, 2022

It is not only that there is little padding, but also that the edges are sharp

Top saddle at a reasonable price!

- Niels, 24 October, 2022

Looking for a new saddle with opening in the middle. Ideal option, for not too much money. Saddle on the other hand a little harder than expected, but reasonably used to it after a few rides.

Pros & Cons

Fine opening for the more sensitive parts
Price quality
Slightly harder than expected

Good bang for buck, worth a try if you're looking into short saddles.

- Mike, 18 July, 2022

It felt quite hard for the first ride but I adapted within several rides. Not ideal for people who want some padding. It's relatively firm and the material is very grippy, which allows you to stay in position quite nicely. If you like to move around on the saddle, this might not be for you as you have to get up/bounce around to resposition. The cut-out is nice but it's not quite as big as I had hoped, I think I'd go for something with a bigger cut-out. Perhaps more padding as well.

Pros & Cons

Firm and grippy
Good shape
Relatively cheap
Cut-out could be bigger
Might be too hard/firm for some
On the heavier side

Considering price, quality, comfort, and shipping I would buy it again.

- Greg, 16 June, 2022

If you are looking for a more comfortable saddle, this is the one. You cannot really get a better ergonomic saddle for this price range. The gel material ensures you only sit on your sit bones, and no other areas get squashed. (It is a hard saddle which is a plus in my opinion). It is also water resistant, so you wont have wet pants after you wipe it down even in rain. One consideration is the top material is very sticky, so once you have seated you will stay in place no matter what. This takes some used to, as for someone who stands up for quick power you have to make sure you sit back into the right spot, because you cannot really slide forward or backward (adjust) after you sat down.

Pros & Cons

ergonomic, comfortable

water resistant

Really good value for money.

- David Ian, 1 June, 2022

I bought this saddle as a stopgap and an experiment. I can't, for the moment, afford the saddle I want but this saddle, at a very reasonable price, has surprised me. It arrived just in time for a hot and windy 170 km ride and, even untried, it was a massive improvement over my last agonising 200km ride. It is, perhaps a little small for me and i will upgrade soon but I must congratulate Selle Italia for making such a quality saddle at this price and Mantel for making it even more affordable and for their rapid delivery.

Pros & Cons

Comfortable
Great value
Well made

Good saddle at a good price

- Oscar, 14 May, 2022

The saddle is very comfortable. Short nose saddles are the best for tomorrow. I can't stand the long ones. The bad thing is the weight. Very heavy. But I bought it for my spinning bike so it's perfect for me.

Quality saddle for racing

- Quinten, 3 April, 2022

I bought this saddle to replace my old, broken saddle. The main reason for buying a new saddle was because my bottom was completely lame after 10minutes. That is a thing of the past with this saddle! In terms of comfort, it's a big upgrade. It is still a fairly firm one with focus on racing though. Personally, I do feel that I am riding on a racy saddle. But I guess my old racing shorts don't help with that either. All in all, I am satisfied with this saddle.

Pros & Cons

Comfort through cutout

Quality
Not the softest saddle

Don’t doubt the price, just buy it!

After having had a slightly softer and narrower saddle, it takes some getting used to the harder saddle, at least no more sit bone pain and no more chafing

Excellent service
