I like that one of the selling points is that "it looks pretty fantastic".

Well, there must be $ behind it and some 'study' that said it would sell, even tho I sure doubt it..

Thank goodness it has disc brakes..

I'd love to see Manta saddle majorly sponsor some big race team in Europe, I can imagine what the team's bikes would look like with Mantas on them.

Saw this years ago either here or on BikeForums. Looks like it progressed to the "Has a website' stage.

Looks like an old TV antenna. Maybe with a tall enough seatpost you can get good reception.

They keep coming up with even crazier designs to sell comfort. It's funny that you usually see the Tri types on this sort of "innovative" saddle. Given all the options from the usual suspects, I'd be surprised if 99% of people couldn't find a saddle that works for them.

My first thought was the same as David's. Inspired by H.R. Giger apparently...
