Bontrager announced an expansion of its saddle lineup today, adding the all-new Verse to its family of performance saddles.
Verse is Bontrager’s most versatile performance saddle ever. It’s designed for all genders on all terrain—from road and gravel to trail—and replaces Ajna Women’s and Montrose saddles in the brand’s offering.
The new Verse lineup comprises Comp, Elite, and Pro models. Each of the three all-new Verse saddles features an inForm design that puts riders in a performance posture for speed and control on a variety of surfaces.
All Verse saddles have a full cutout for long-haul comfort and are available in a wide range of four sizes (135mm – 165mm) with new longer rails and an extended clamping area to ensure a dialed fit for all genders and body types.
Additionally, all models in the new Verse saddle lineup are compatible with Bontrager’s rear-facing Blendr mount, which allows for easy integration of a Flare tail light.
Verse Pro ($219.99 MSRP) features a carbon-reinforced shell, oversized carbon rails, and minimal padding for the seasoned rider looking for the ultimate in lightweight performance.
Verse Elite ($149.99 MSRP) features Austenite rails, a lightweight shell, and additional padding for added comfort.
Verse Comp ($89.99 MSRP) is built on stainless rails and, like all models in the Verse lineup, is compatible with a rear-facing Blendr mount for an integrated Flare tail light.
Like all Bontrager products, new Verse saddles are backed by the Unconditional Bontrager Guarantee, which gives riders 30 days to love their purchase. If they don’t, we’ll take it back. It’s that simple.
The full lineup of new Verse saddles is available immediately online at trekbikes.com in select markets and through Trek’s global network of retailers.
The 30 day Bontrager return warranty is totally bogus. Read the fine print: the product must be in ” new unused condition with original tags etc”. This makes the warranty virtually useless, as I sadly learned when I tried a Bontrager helmet recently. After wearing the helmet a few times, I discovered that there were some fit issues which weren’t obvious when I first tried it on. Too bad — I couldn’t return it. How can you know if a saddle will work for you without riding it? But once you ride it you are stuck with it! I understand that a manufacturer can’t afford to accept used returns. BUT THEY SHOULDN”T BOAST ABOUT THEIR 30 DAY RETURN POLICY, which is about as useful as sleeves on my vest. Shame on Trek/ Bontrager.
The 30 day return warranty is bogus. Read the fine print- all returns must be in new unused condition … How can you know if a saddle works for you without riding it? Catch 22 – if you ride it, you can’t return it. I was burned recently on a Bontrager helmet that I couldn’t return. It felt OK when I tried it on — but after a few rides it was very uncomfortable. I understand why a manufacturer wont accept used return; but they shouldn’t brag about their virtually useless 30 day free return policy.
