After a certain age many men start to experience sexual problems as well as nerve problems after cycling. This usually occurs in males over 40 who are advent cyclers, but the symptoms may occur in younger or less active bikers.
This problem occurs because of the bicycle seat’s shape. The nose of the saddle is known to disrupt blood flow because of the pressure on the perineum. This causes a variety of urogenital disorders such as ED, urinary incontinence, and analgesic nephropathy. These disorders can cause the sufferer to loose bladder control, pain as well as sexual inactivity.
The concept behind the Manta is to make it more comfortable for older gentlemen to ride bicycles, in addition to helping to prevent these problems. This seat is by no a means a way to treat the disorders, it is only designed to help individuals cope with the problem. And to get them back on their bicycle and active again.

There are two main issues that must be taken into consideration. The first is comfort and the second is balance. The urogenital disorders that are related to cycling are caused by the compressive forces exerted by the nose of the saddle on the perineum. Basically it reduces blood profusion and causes neuralgia which is a painful nerve disorder. In order to correct this, the saddle has been design with out a connected nose this in turn reduces the perineal compression. When the nose is removed the balance of the bike is affected because of the lack of lateral support. This was corrected by placing a floating nose between the legs to give the biker the necessary balance without the side effects.
The Manta bike seat is an easy solution to a difficult problem. Its inconspicuous design does not divulge the user’s problem. The Manta is able to distribute the pressure on the genital region by transferring it onto the hip bones, which in turn will reduce chronic urogenital disorders.
