Fusion Form Base

New 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.

The "Backstop"

Hidden “ramp” towards the back of the seating area creates a cradle for the rider to sit and push against during the steepest climbs

Hidden Handle

Integrated handle for lifting heavy bikes during hike-a-bike sections or loading on to your bike rack.

Comfort Zone & Love Channel

The Comfort Zone and Love Channel increase comfort and reduce unwanted perineal pressure.

Thicker Padding where you need it

Thick padding provides plenty of cushion for the rider that tends to stay seated for most of the ride.

TECHNOLOGY

The Backstop is a hidden “ramp” within the base, creating a supportive surface to brace against during the steepest of climbs.

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.

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.

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.

Featured exclusively on high-end WTB saddles, these small cut-away windows in the saddle base provide additional relief from pressure on sensitive areas. Comfort Zone is a subtle difference that provides noticeable long-term comfort.

*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.

FUSION FORM BASE

Our 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.

The Rocket's unique base provides a supportive and responsive flex profile that optimizes power transfer under hard efforts while also absorbing vibrations transferred through the bike.

Hidden Handle

An integrated handle is hidden under the rear of the saddle to assist in lifting bikes onto racks or through hike-a-bike sections. You know when you are trying to load your bike into the back of your truck or on your bike rack, there is this nifty little handle to give you a hand.

Who was this designed for?

This rider is a mountain biker looking for the most comfortable and supportive bike seat for long days. Thick padding provides plenty of cushion for the rider that tends to stay seated for most of the day. Generous curvature from the tip to tail cradles the rider who stays planted in the saddle while climbing or navigating technical terrain.

Designed into the saddle - the Backstop

The Backstop is a hidden “ramp” within the base, creating a supportive surface to brace against during the steepest of climbs.

IS THINNER OR THICKER PADDING BETTER FOR ME?

Thinner padding tends to be preferred by riders with good flexibility who are leaned forward while pedaling for rides longer than two hours. Thicker padding is often better for riders who sit in a more upright position and find themselves on rides that usually involve less than two hours of riding.

Thicker padding allows a rider's sit bones to sink into the saddle for a more cradled feel that feels plush and maximizes comfort for short durations of time. However, this same support can also pinch the soft tissues around your sit bones after a bit of time and end up causing more discomfort on lengthy rides. Saddles with thinner padding provide less cushion, are therefore firmer, and allow the sit bones to sit perched atop the saddle rather than cradled within it. While thinner padding may seem less comfortable at first, it often proves more comfortable for rides longer than two hours.

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.
