Product Description

The additional weight of e-bikes creates new challenges when it comes to lifting your bike onto a rack, moving it around the garage, or hoisting it over rocks and roots on unrideable sections of trail. The Devo saddle solves this problem with its patented Pickup handle, which aids in lifting or pushing an e-bike in both transport and on-trail situations while remaining completely unnoticeable to the rider while pedaling. Our new Fusion Form base technology balances overall comfort and durability by fine-tuning the fiber content and dialing in a flex profile that is best for the Devo. Medium thickness padding eliminates pressure points in the sit bone area and provides lasting comfort for long rides that go a little longer than planned. The width contour of the Devo gradually increases for the front half of the saddle before quickly widening out to create the primary area for sit bone support. This allows you to stay seated and crank hard without the insides of your thighs rubbing on the saddle edges. A wide nose allows you to scoot forward to keep the front wheel on the ground during steep climbs that are only conquerable on an e-bike.

PICKUP HANDLE

Patented Pickup handle that provides a simple yet effective way for riders to lift and maneuver e-bikes while also being a useful grab point for pushing up rough sections of trail

FUSION FORM BASE

Our new Fusion Form base technology allows us to fine-tune the amount of fiber infused into the nylon of each specific saddle model to create a flex profile that balances comfort, support and durability to match the intended use of a saddle. E-mtb riders tend to remain seated over technical, jarring terrain that a rider on a traditional bike would likely stand up to pedal through. We reduced the amount of fiber in the Devo’s Fusion Form base, which improved base flex and damping to make it more forgiving and comfortable while pedaling over rough terrain.

LOVE CHANNEL

The Love Channel has one very important task: protecting your body from unwanted pressure. The central depression provides soft-tissue relief without sacrificing the structural integrity of the saddle.

MEDIUM PADDING

The Devo features our Medium level of padding thickness, which eliminates pressure points in the sit bone area while still providing lasting comfort for both quick laps and full-battery adventures.

MICROFIBER COVER

Found on all WTB saddles, our Microfiber cover closely replicates the look and feel of a leather cover. The supple nature of the Microfiber Cover allows the foam to support the sit bones without interfering with its resiliency.

TECH ICONS

Patented Pickup handle provides a simple yet effective way for riders to lift and maneuver e-bikes while also being a useful grab point for pushing up rough sections of trail.

Our premier Fusion Form technology allows us to fine-tune the amount of fiber infused into the nylon shell of each specific saddle model to create a flex profile that balances comfort, support and durability to match the intended use of a saddle.

*Recommended torque for all carbon rails: Vertical load clamp- 80 in-lbf (9.0N*m). Side-load clamp- 120 in-lbf (13.5 N*m)
Recommended torques are specific to WTB carbon saddles. You must also consult the saddle User's Manual for the seat post's recommended torque. If the seat post torque recommendation exceeds the saddle's recommendation's always use the lower torque recommendation.

PICKUP HANDLE FOR HEAVY LIFTING

UNNOTICEABLE WHILE PEDALING

While it may look like the hole interferes with where you sit on the saddle, we strategically placed Pickup behind the sit bone contact area to make it completely unnoticeable while pedaling. We’ve confirmed this through hundreds of hours of ride testing and pressure mapping. Pickup provides an easy way to lift, push and transport your e-bike without sacrificing any pedaling comfort in the process.

ONE WIDTH. TWO PADDING OPTIONS.

The Devo is available in a Medium (142mm) width, which is designed to best fit riders with sit bones that are 100-130mm apart. Versions of the Devo with cromoly or stainless steel rails feature our HLX padding, while the model with titanium rails features our premier DNA padding. HLX padding is plusher than our DNA padding, which makes it a great option for those who prioritize squishiness rather than weight savings. DNA is our high-performance padding that holds its shape incredibly well to provide unbeatable comfort and support on long rides while also minimizing saddle weight.

Looks Weir'd. Handle it.

CAN I TOW MY FRIENDS USING THE PICKUP HANDLE?

While it was designed to be a highly durable and reliable feature, the patented Pickup handle was not designed to be used as an attachment point for any sort of towing. Please do not attempt to use the Pickup handle for anything other than lifting or pushing your bike.

WHAT IS THE MAX RIDER WEIGHT FOR WTB SADDLES?

Our saddles don't have a specific weight limit. The reason being that rider weight is not what limits a saddle's strength. It's the amount of force that a rider (or the ground during a crash) exerts on the saddle that determines whether it will be damaged. It's hard to put a max rider weight limit on a saddle when a 350-pound rider may not encounter any saddle strength issues while a 120-pound rider may accidentally come down too hard on the saddle and damage it. The amount of force is a bigger factor, as well as where the force is directed on the saddle. Instead, we rely on ISO testing standards to ensure our saddles are strong enough to withstand the forces exerted in most riding situations within the intended usage. All WTB saddles meet or exceed the ISO saddle standard, which is 400 kN in a downward direction on the tail of the saddle.

WHICH SADDLE MATERIAL IS THE STRONGEST? WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT RIDE CHARACTERISTICS?

Heavier riders will exert more force on their saddle compared to a lighter rider if the rider is traveling at the same rate of speed during the point of contact. Cromoly and steel saddle rails tend to be more resilient and provide increased sheer strength over titanium or carbon rails, therefore heavier riders may find more peace of mind on a saddle with cromoly or steel rails.

All properly manufactured saddle rails should be able to handle the weight of riders well over 100kg, but how those materials fail when stressed to their limits would be my biggest consideration when suggesting a saddle that will be used by a heavier rider. Steel tends to bend, whereas titanium tends to shear and carbon tends to crack/snap. Heavier riders will likely find the most peace of mind on a saddle with steel or cromoly steel (lighter weight, yet still strong) rails.
