Reviews over the

Bontrager Verse Comp

Had problems with numbness from my previous saddle. This saddle is slightly softer, a little wider and has more comfort. The numbness has disappeared.

Fine comfortable saddle with spacious recess and handy mounting option for rear light or bag

Pros & Cons

A very nice saddle that is still comfortable even after 3 hours of cycling. After one and a half years on a short fit saddle by Sella Italia, I drove to Den Bosch and had myself measured, which led me to this saddle. What an improvement on the short fit, where I was constantly saddle-sore and which is now much better with this saddle, which is still comfortable after 100 km. I also like Mantel's advice because now I have a saddle that fits me exactly

Pros & Cons

Saddle sits better than the original one I had. In particular, the opening in the middle offers more comfort. No more numbness. Saddle soreness seems to stay out a bit longer, but after a few hours you still start to feel it. But I suspect no saddle can completely prevent this.

Pros & Cons

Took a few rides with this saddle. For such a small amount such a big difference in comfort.... No more saddle sores

Pros & Cons

It is exactly what of expected a good seat on the MTB and easy to adjust

Where I used to get saddle pain after an hour, I don't know what happens to me now, a very comfortable saddle at a friend's price.

Pros & Cons

First saddle I am very satisfied with

I have been using this saddle for just under a year now. I am on the MTB about 3 times week and ride an average of 40 km per ride. This saddle is so much better than what I had before. Really perfect! And it looks nice too.

Pros & Cons

Comfortable, compliant saddle

Of course always a bit subjective, such a review, especially with saddles. For me (188 cm, 90 kg, fairly flexible so fairly deep seat, classic carbon road bike 87cm) this is a great saddle. I am not a super trained cyclist, more of a fitness cyclist. Have this saddle on 2 bikes. Ride it 3...5 times a week for an hour, almost always with good cycling shorts. The 'grip' on the trousers is good, not one of those gliding saddles like some cheap saddles. I have the narrowest version, it is very easy to measure your seat bone width and adjust your saddle accordingly. The saddle is nicely flat (in two directions) and otherwise quite plain in design, which suits my classic bikes well.

Pros & Cons

At last, an ergonomic saddle that reduces friction

geen opvallende minpunten. Zadel gekocht in vervanging van nieuw Selle Italia zadel dat vervelend gekraak produceerde.

Pros & Cons

The Bontrager Verse Comp Saddle is a versatile and comfortable saddle. Upon unpacking, the high-quality finish is immediately noticeable. The saddle has a sleek and modern design. The materials feel durable. The saddle has a cut-out centre channel for pressure relief. This provides extra comfort during long rides. The padding is firm but absorbs shocks well. The saddle is available in different widths, making it fit your body well. While cycling, the saddle offers great stability and support. Whether you climb, descend or ride long stretches of flat, the saddle remains comfortable. The rails are sturdy and easily adjustable, which helps to find the ideal sitting position. Installation is easy. But my handy man makes it even easier ☺️Duidelijke markings on the rails help determine the right position. Even without much experience in bike maintenance, the saddle is quick to fit and adjust. The saddle offers great value for money. It is not the cheapest saddle, but the combination of comfort, durability and performance justifies the price. It is a good investment for less saddle pain and better cycling experiences. An excellent choice for cyclists looking for a reliable, comfortable and performance-oriented saddle. It offers many customisation options and high-quality materials. If you are willing to invest in long-term comfort and support, this saddle is definitely recommended.

Pros & Cons

This saddle fully meets expectations.

Pros & Cons

On a new bike, the saddle, which came standard on it, was totally uncomfortable. This one is much better!

Pros & Cons

A saddle is always something personal. Is difficult to determine from the internet what you should have. Besides, you have to get used to the saddle. Adjustment is everything and there are many variables in that.

Pros & Cons

After 2 rides of 55 and 75km, the saddle sits fine

Pros & Cons

My standard saddle. Now bought for indoor trainer, so weight does not matter, and therefore bought the cheaper version.

Pros & Cons

Delighted so far

Pros & Cons

Very nice saddle, no saddle pain even on long trips.

Pros & Cons

Very nice saddle. Nice and firm but not hard. Rides of 100km feel very comfortable. Material deck is also nice that you can move around easily, but sliding doesn't happen either.

Pros & Cons

Wonderfully comfortable,great product !

Very satisfied with this product

Pros & Cons

Very nice saddle and also easy to attach. Unfortunately, the saddle was not available in the webshop for a while (the size I had to have), so I had to wait a while for it. But it was totally worth it! Price-quality ratio is really nice!

Pros & Cons

The saddle has met my expectations so far. It will be great!

Nice that there are different sizes. Saddle cycles great, no more saddle pain. Had the giro diva before, but this one is quite an improvement. Can now ride longer distances.

Pros & Cons

Because of the perfect seating position, my exercise times have improved and I feel less tired in my back and legs.

It's a great product if it's right for you.

Very comfortable women's saddle. Several sizes available. No saddle pain at all after replacing saddle.

Pros & Cons

Short saddle, easy to adjust thanks to good ergonomics. Firm comfort would be an asset over time, but I didn't ride enough. Still good. Good finish Chosen with the Mantel tutorial, that's top, easy and well guided.

Pros & Cons

See pluses

Pros & Cons

Extremely happy with this saddle. From the standard saddle that came with my bike, within 45 minutes I didn't know how to sit anymore. With this saddle I no longer suffer from 'down there' and get back on my bike without any worries!

As usual fast shipping, and right saddle size selected using Mantel tool!

Pros & Cons

Did a 40km ride on the mountain bike and had no saddle pain at all. Fine and nicely finished saddle.

Pros & Cons

So far no more saddle pain

Pros & Cons

No more saddle pain

Pros & Cons

I ride for 4 hours 4 times a week, so I need a comfortable saddle.

Pros & Cons

Very pleased with the saddle, purchased as a successor to the Montrose.

Pros & Cons

I really find this saddle to be an everyman's friend. Tried four saddles, all more expensive than this one, but mostly way too hard.

Pros & Cons

Just by looking at it you can appreciate the quality of the materials. Once installed just try it and its properties are already perceived (it is not super soft but it feels comfortable with the passage of minutes on the bike). The anti-prostatic channel does its job. The rounded shape and the contained size also makes it ideal for MTB. For the price it is one of the best options.

Pros & Cons

Only driven it 3 times and still searching for the right position.

Pros & Cons

Fully meets expectations, comfortable saddle. No more saddle sore which makes for more fun cycling and longer trips.

Pros & Cons

Tried it right away and I must say it does its job very well. Let's see on longer distances how it performs.

Pros & Cons

Expectations fully met

Pros & Cons

I've used it a couple of times and the opening makes a big difference vs. a traditional one. No more discomfort

Pros & Cons

As expected fine product

Pros & Cons

I've used it in 3 rides, the first 2 short and today 76km. The truth is that it is quite comfortable, just what I was looking for, this model is "performance" that is, focused on cyclists who do not compete but if they do long and demanding rides but allowing a more upright posture than other models (Aeolus, for example is focused on more flexible cyclists and its version is "race").

Pros & Cons

Seat comfort is excellent, already cycled on the ATB several times on very uneven terrain. Supports well and can absorb a little bit of cushioning. Correct sitting position for my seat.

Pros & Cons

Seat bones measured with method of piece of cardboard and aluminum foil, came to 12cm. Bought this saddle with the bicycle saddle choice guide. Fine in the front (no pressure on the crotch), but chafing in the groin and severe pain on the bone just in front of the seat bones, radiating to the back of the upper and lower leg. Tried several rides, but pain unbearable. So sent back.

Pros & Cons

Already two years back I got a new bike (coincidentally also at Mantel ;)) On long rides I often had saddle sores and problems with my private parts, no matter how I adjusted the saddle or what kind of pants I was wearing. Meanwhile, I have already cycled a few times with this saddle and I am extremely satisfied. So far I haven't had any saddle sores! And still rides more than 2 hours. I recommend this saddle!

Pros & Cons

After trying several other saddles, I finally ended up with this one. For me it is not too soft, but certainly not too hard either. It took some getting used to at first, but that's normal. The saddle is nice and stiff, so you don't slide back and forth. The "looks" on my road bike are also good, but that is obviously of secondary importance.

Pros & Cons

Impeccable Mantel

Pros & Cons

Saddle seems to be of good quality after only 70 km, good ergonomics reasonable weight, attractive aesthetics

Pros & Cons

The saddle gives good support and there is no pressure on sensitive areas. In addition, it is a beautiful design.

Pros & Cons

The saddle is well made but has not solved my pain problem. Despite the application used to choose, I have the one that corresponds to my morphology and my practice, but the support on the saddle is always on the points of the pelvic bones and being rather skinny my bones are protruding. I don't think there are many saddles that would suit me, maybe SQlab or Infinity seats, but we're not in the same price bracket.

Pros & Cons

More comfortable than the ones I've tried. Mileage to be made!

Pros & Cons

Description was good about the product.

Pros & Cons

Excellent saddle for mountain biking.

Pros & Cons

Happy with the purchase! This saddle combined with new pants makes for a lot less saddle pain.

Pros & Cons

Fine saddle! Good price-quality ratio. In my opinion an acceptable amount for a saddle.

Pros & Cons

Nu paar keer geprobeerd, bevalt prima, nog wel iets last van de billen maar dat is een kwestie van wennen

Pros & Cons

In the beginning it was a little bit hard to sit on but now I got used to it. Super easy to mount on the bike and offers all the necessary adjustability

Pros & Cons

Meets expectations

Pros & Cons

From using normal saddles to using this antiprostatic is a world away. It should be standard on all bikes. You pedal more comfortable, without discomfort in the parts and when you get off you're like new.

Pros & Cons

I ordered the cheapest saddle with an opening , at mantle you could return free of charge within 4 wk. but this one likes it fine!

Pros & Cons

The size ordered following the size chart was exactly right. I have a nice seat with this saddle, not putting too much pressure on my hamstring. Just soft enough also for longer rides on the mtb.

Pros & Cons

Neat delivery with product as expected

Pros & Cons

After years of riding a Prologo Scratch, this saddle is a breath of fresh air. The long recess and wider nose mean that I hardly feel that I am sitting on it. Even after rides of >4 hours no problems with "numb" noble parts. For fifty euros it really is a bargain considering the pleasure of use. We will see how hard wearing it is but for this price a shorter lifespan is not an issue.

Pros & Cons

After 4 saddles and x recommendation of a friend, I have acquired this model. Already used, in several outings everything has changed. It has stopped hurting my hamstrings, to go wrong sitting looking for position from the first hour walking. Total ... it has been a radical change,,,, recommend this saddle for people who do not find the right one, it adapts and is very comfortable.

Pros & Cons

Because of my relatively wide sit bones, I ended up with this saddle for my road bike. Saddle sits perfectly and I rode an 80+ for the first time the day after delivery without feeling numb/sore.
