Mantra Carbon is the top of the line saddle Mantra of Selle San Marco dedicated to off-roading. Born to tackle the most challenging routes, from technical enduro to adventures gravel, is a combination of top-quality materials, comfort and classic design.
It was developed to offer maximum support and freedom of movement, maintaining an exceptional weight . In short, Mantra Carbon was created to be the ideal choice for those who want the best on off-road excursions.
Lightness and functionality
As the top of the range, the Carbon version of the Mantra saddle is based on extremely high-level technical specifications . The shell is made of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Shell , which ensures controlled flexibility, to absorb the vibrations typical of off-road riding. The padding, on the other hand, is made of Pullfoam , a foam that provides the right balance between comfort and support, essential for long hours in the saddle.
What sets it apart from other Mantra versions, however, are the rails, built in DNA Carbonio (CFX and Carbon Fiber). This material is specifically designed for off-road needs, so as to offer maximum rigidity and resistance , crucial characteristics given its use. And also, naturally, so as to reduce weight to a minimum: Mantra Carbon weighs only 187 grams . All this, together with its optimized dimensions with a wide but compact support platform, ensures that the saddle adapts to all pelvis types and riding positions.
Design between aesthetics and practicality
The Mantra Carbon's aesthetic has a retro feel, but is also functional , designed to facilitate movement and reduce pressure points. The distinctive delta design combines with a wide, padded nose to help find (and maintain) the correct riding position. This is especially true in challenging conditions, such as steep climbs or technical descents.
Added to this is the flat profile of the saddle, which facilitates movement along the longitudinal axis , allowing you to shift your weight quickly when necessary, for example on the more technical sections between rocks and roots. As for the structure, although the Mantra is a closed-surface saddle , the internal shell is perforated . This feature on the one hand reduces pressure in the perineal area , on the other hand guarantees the comfort of a saddle with a "full" support surface. It also prevents the passage of water and mud , helping to keep the saddle (and the saddle pad) dry and clean.
Mantra Carbon is available on the Selle San Marco website at a recommended retail price of 199,90 euros.
