Selle san marco mantra or pro turnix?
I'm currently riding on an ISM ADAMO Peloton which is a good shape but I'm finding it a bit too firm therefore I'm looking for a new saddle.
After a quick search I cam across the mantra and turnix at very good prices.
Both weigh around the same but the mantra looks better.
There are not a lot of review out there but what I've found seem positive.
Has anyone any real world experience of either saddle?

Thanks for the input mate.
The one I'm interested in is the same model as yours and tbh it looks better than the new one imo.
I've found it for £65 so I think I'll go for it
I ride the mantra. The old shape:

They seem to have redesigned the shape a little lately:

Saddles are a very personal thing, but I can vouch for the mantra for my needs. I went through a few saddles before I found one that was truly comfortable and did not cause numbness issues.
I have both a Carbon FX and an Xsilite one - I don't notice a huge amount of difference in the feel between the two.
They're still pretty firm, but given they're a good shape (for me), I don't feel any need for more/softer padding.
I don't know anything about the Turnix, although from a quick google, the cut-out looks to be smaller (the cut-out on the Mantra is gigantic - I'm surprised I haven't fallen right through the saddle
). It actually reminds me a little of a Selle Italia saddle I had once, which I replaced with a Mantra.
