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.

Superb saddle
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.
5 / 5
Super saddle, I recommend+++.
After several outings both in the mountains with big differences in altitude and on the plains, I didn't feel any discomfort.

Great saddle, light, firm, good support.
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.

Great saddle, light, firm, good support.
Slightly harder than its selle italia predecessor. The relationship seat bone width vs saddle width is not entirely consistent within the Bontrager Fresh saddles on the Mantel website. So watch out.

Fijn zadel, waar je met plezier langere tochten mee maakt
Zadel zit na wat afstellen prima. Niet te hard, niet te zacht, nergens wrijving en geen zadelpijn.
