Description
Description
Saddle shape
This saddle has a semi-round rear part, making it highly suitable for riders who move a little while they ride and whose hips rock a little from side to side. The semi-round shape provides plenty of support for those riders while maintaining sufficient freedom of movement compared to a flat saddle.
Flexibility
This is an S-shaped saddle, meaning it’s raised at the back and lowered in the middle. This S-shape makes it possible for people with an inflexible spine to assume a proper riding position. This has to do with how easy these riders find it to rotate their pelvis. People with an inflexible spine often have more trouble rotating their pelvis, meaning they could use some extra support.
Cut-out
This saddle has a cut-out and alleviates pressure for those who often experience discomfort or pressure to their soft tissue areas.

Price-quality a top saddle
Bought on the recommendation of my sports physiotherapist after a bikefit. Delivered quickly, tested on a 100km course, and very satisfied. A very good purchase as far as I'm concerned!
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Good saddle, but you may not be immediately sold on it.
My previous will was a fizik Argo vento. Then this is something completely different. The shape of this saddle makes a small dimple in the middle where you automatically sit down. It makes sure you always end up in the same position. The wings on the sides slope down sharply, relieving the buttock muscles. The saddle is very nicely finished. Only comment on the flat is the plastic edge on the inside of the cut-out. You can feel this during cycling and it creates an unpleasant pressure point. The saddle is hard, if you come from a soft and comfortable saddle, this does take some time to adjust.

5 / 5
Ergonomic
Super ergonomic. My previous saddle have a geometrical/flat design and I'll felt its edges in every downstroke. Quite annoying. Selle Italia more organic shapes makes it unnoticeable.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Real comfort at a price
A firm product at first glance, but comfortable over time: no numbness or pain on rides of more than 4 hours. That's a big change from my previous saddle (Italia flite max superflow) where after 1 hour my buttocks started to ache. Because of its short length and thickness, it took me 3 rides to correctly adjust the height and tilt. The big plus of the Mantel tool to help you choose a saddle is that they are immediately adapted to your ischial size and riding style. Fairly high price, but reasonable for the amount of time you've been riding.
