Cromoly rails
Increased strength and less weight make cromoly steel a noticeable upgrade over traditional steel rails. The perfect choice for bikepackers.

Microfiber cover
Found on most 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.

Flex-Tuned shell

The Flex-Tuned shell boasts an exceptional mix of comfortable flex and firm efficiency. Not as supple as the Soft-Shell and not as stiff as the Carbon Composite Shell, Flex-Tuned saddles provide the happy medium that is ideal for most enthusiasts.

Gel padding + HLX

Strategically placed gel inserts conform to the specific shape and width of a rider’s sit bones to provide a fit that is unique to the rider. The gel inserts are surrounded by our Standard Padding to provide additional padding that will not pinch or put pressure on soft tissues. HLX padding is 30% more shock absorbent than polyurethane. Cromoly saddles with medium and thick levels of padding feature the added comfort of HLX+ Gel padding, which uses strategically placed gel inserts in areas where a rider’s sit bones contact the saddle.
