Selle San Marco has been awarded a Design & Innovation Award 2025 for the Mantra saddle, recognizing it as a benchmark in off-road cycling performance.
This prestigious award is given to products that redefine excellence in design, innovation, and functionality. With a rigorous testing process led by industry experts, the Design & Innovation Award is one of the most respected honours in cycling.
The Judges’ Verdict: Stability, Comfort & Control
The Design & Innovation Award jury praised the Selle San Marco Mantra for its superior balance of stability, comfort, and control.
"The Selle San Marco Mantra delivers stability and comfort exactly where it matters. The compact design makes it easy to return to the ideal riding position after dynamic movements without developing uncomfortable pressure points — thanks in part to its padded nose, which ensures additional comfort,” the judges noted.
“The Mantra provides noticeable relief to the perineal area through its hidden cut-out in the shell, while the closed surface effectively shields against dirt and moisture. Combining comfort, stability, and control, the Selle San Marco Mantra proves to be a versatile companion, equally at home on gravel and MTB adventures."
Engineered for Off-Road Adventures
Designed for gravel and enduro mountain bike riders, the Mantra offers extreme comfort on climbs and total control on descents. The flat profile allows for easy movement in the saddle, while the wide padded nose and delta shape ensure the right riding position in all conditions.
Unlike traditional open-shell saddles, the closed cover prevents mud and water from passing through, keeping you dry and comfortable on unpredictable terrain. Available with carbon, Xsilite, or manganese rails, the Mantra is built for durability and performance.
