The body parts you are using to sit on now are the best for the job
With a Manta you enjoy the positive effects of an increase in bloodflow and good ventilation
Comment from Michael Downes an industry leading bicycle designer: [The manta saddle is…] "[…] the most revolutionary development I have yet seen with regard to the bicycle saddle. There is an undeniable elegance to the manta concept. What I particularly love is how the function of the saddle and the way it interfaces with the rider is so evident in its form"

MS13 to MS9 ~ [in 2010] we shortened the front of the saddle from 13 "elements" (the MS13 is illustrated beautifully by Marc Millar in the archives) reduced to 9 elements, we built the MS9, it performs impressively at 9 elements, without adding any pressure to the tender body parts
