great seat. looks good, light. its not the most comfortable, but if you dont sit much its great. it also rips pants like no other. i dont even own this seat, my freind has it and i rode his bike 2 times, both times it ripped my pants
Ok. Weird story about this seat. I bought this seat about two months ago as a take off from The Path in Tustin, CA for an amazing deal. I rode the saddle once around my front yard and it was night and day as far as everything compared to my Rocket V. I then took my bike to my local shop to have a new rear shock put on. When I got the bike back, there was a huge hole in the seat. When I mean huge I mean about the size of a dime, right in the place on the backside where if you laid the bike down it would be. So I confronted the bike shop and they denied everything on all costs. I left the shop pissed off. Upon closer inspection of the bike I noticed that someone had changed my front tube, put a hole in seat and tuned my suspension to a different weight. So shady. So I called WTB to see if they could fix it. I explained my situation and they replaced the seat. Some of the best costumer service over there. I will be a WTB customer for life!
awesome saddle, supper comfortable for a full day of trail/all mountain riding. I prefer a slightly wider saddle, and this thing just fits. the silverado may work better if you backside isn't as bountiful as others.
Came on my bike.
Took a while to get used to but it's quite comfortable now.
Not to mention very light.
