Selle San Marco has expanded its gravel and off-road cycling saddle range with the arrival of the new Mantra saddle, designed specifically for enduro, trail and gravel riders.
Minimalist in appearance, the Mantra is packed with technical features and sees Selle San Marco redefine its approach to off-road cycling.
The streamlined, clean design allows for advanced technical solutions developed by Selle San Marco, headquartered in Asolo, to ensure optimal movement control and proper positioning while riding.
At launch, the brand points to a standout feature of the Mantra – its delta shape – which it says “helps riders easily find the correct and most functional position on the saddle”, something particularly crucial on rough terrain, where constant vibrations and frequent shifts in posture are the norm. Additionally, the saddle’s completely flat profile allows for greater freedom of movement.
The wide, padded nose (>40mm) provides enhanced comfort during climbs and better control during
descents, while the open body design reduces pressure on the perineal area. The saddle cover is sealed,
however, to keep mud from passing through the hole.
Available in the idmatch L2 size, with rails in three versions: Carbon FX, Xsilite and Manganese.
