Strengths: The curved profile offers multiple seating positions, preventing sore spots. The drop-downb nore prevents snags when climbing.Bottom Line: Finally a saddle that works for me! Other test rides left sore spots, but this one fits by behind like a second skin. Cormy on long climbs, single track, etc,...

Strengths: ComfortableWeaknesses: NiCro tubular rail are very weakBottom Line: Don’t buy this saddle! It lasted three days on my DH bike before the rails were totally bent and the saddle tad totally changed shape. The NiCro tubular rail are very weak (shame on you WTB) and bend in no time. This was not my fault at all. I weight 200 lbs

Strengths: Comfy, good quality, looks good, fairly light.Weaknesses: has a slight "creak".Bottom Line: This is a good seat for the money. It could be a little longer overall, but if your looking for a narrow high performance saddle that you can still actually ride for a few hours at a time look no further. I like this seat because it is narrow and I can slide off the back of the bike without hanging up on the seat. I also like the Kevlar side bumpers that keep the seat from tearing the first time you fall over. The quality seems to be decent and the durability good as well. Bottom line, a good seat for the money.

Strengths: Good materials, design, and constructionWeaknesses: None at allBottom Line: As with all WTB products I've tried they got this one right too. It's the most comfortable saddle I've ridden by a long shot. The drop nose design, dimensions and everything about this saddle fit me perfectly. Obviously saddles are a personal thing, but I doubt I could ever be lured away from this one. Built well, designed well, looks good too.

from Billings, MtDate Reviewed: April 9, 2008
Strengths: Very comfortable. Narrow, race-type nose that doesn't interfere with pedaling. Wider aft section, way more comfortable for pedaling long single track.Weaknesses: None so far. Some talk of the stitching rubbing on inner thighs in these lines of saddles, but I've been on it a couple weeks with no signs of this.Bottom Line: Excellent seat for the money. I couldn't see spending the $200+ dollars for titanium. The Fat Possum is a heftier bike anyway, I'm not concerned about grams here and there. I'm a bit of a clydesdale, and the narrow race seats kill me on longer days in the saddle. On my first trip out on this seat it was a noticeable difference. time will tell about durability, but I am happy with the design for sure.
