Date Reviewed: March 3, 2004 | | Favorite Trail: | Single/Double track | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Purchased At: | Local Bike Shop | | Strengths: | Light, easy to maneuver around saddle. Took 2 years of hard riding to fall apart. | | Weaknesses: | Always felt more like a wedge up my rear then a seat. | | Bike Setup: | Rocky Mountain Hammer Race | | Bottom Line: | I bought this saddle originally because the stock saddle was horrible (One of those super narrow former racing saddles).
At first I thought it was alright, since the other saddles I tried out caused my butt to explode in pain instantly. However, after I ride for about an hour on steep hills sitting, my butt just never gets used to this thing. I always have pain in my rear and have yet to find a saddle that is comfortable (I dont know if this is a female anatomy thing) but this one ain't it. Not the worst, definitely not the best from my end. I at least would not recommend it to people who find traditional saddles uncomfortable as this one falls into that category.
Its good as a basic light saddle. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Bottom line it's great for half day mountain bike rides and your regular trips to the store, but for 200 mile rides... don't even go there. Also another problem that I've found is on hot days the leather heats up and stains your ass. The stains wash away, but it's rather annoying.

I weigh 160 pounds and I ride mostly in town and downhill and a bit of XC but I dont ride like a nutcase - I'm pretty cautious. Anyway the rails did not bend at all, they just snapped. The titanium rails on a Flite would never have snapped like that. I know a guy who had a Flite. He bent the rails in a crash, straightened them, and kept the saddle for another 4 years. That's good titanium, this isn't. Btw I have a hardtail, that probably doesn't help.
Another thing is that the leather on this saddle really doesn't like mud. The sandpaper effect that a muddy ass has on a saddle made the leather lose it's shine and colour. That happened after the first muddy ride but it never got worse.
I got an extremely good price on it, I would not have bought it otherwise. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

This seat came stock on my '98 Kona Fire Mountain and after 2 months and 500+ kms, It hasn't broken into anything I like. Not terribly uncomfortable, but far from really comfy. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I think it's primarily the shape. It wasn't comfy when I first got it, but I thought I just need to get used to it, but that hasn't worked. The seat felt a little hard, but I haven't had too much experience with mid/high level saddles.

Here's the up-date to my post. It's been 5 full

called their 1-800 number, and it is all machines,
so there is no way to actually get to anyone. I
expected better customer service from a company
founded by one of the pioneers of Mountain Biking.
I am dissapointed.
I am going to buy a Serfas all Kevlar saddle with
ti from my bike shop because the shop owner will
discount it for me. I would try a WTB just because of
their wonderful customer service, but they don't carry
them in stock in the store. My other option at this
shop would be another Ritchey, but from now on I think
I'll avoid Ritchey seats. Now don't get me wrong, I
still thing that Ritchey is a good company, as good as
most, and their products are generally really good, but
I don't want to try to deal with this poor customer
service again.
For the seat, I keep my 4 star rating, for Ritchey's
customer service, I would give a zero. | | Overall Rating: |

Hopefully they will respond soon. I like the fit of the seat, but seats are as much a preference as riser bars and energy bars. I'll leave another review after Ritchey does whatever it has to do.

I have this saddle and also the Pro WCS titanium one. However, the main difference between the two is primarily the weight difference.
And actually the Pro WCS saddle is made of finer grain leather and looks wider. Both yield minimum chafing problem and have long rails for back and forth adjustment. For new buyer, my suggestion would be try the saddle yourself before buying.
Also, both are made of genuine leather and require great care. Good Luck! | | Overall Rating: |

Came on my bike, and I see it sells for about $30. I still want a lighter seat with a comfy front for climbing. However, the Ritchey is blessed with evenly distributed padding, has been durable, is definitely comfortable for me at least for 1-2 hours, no problem. So it's fine value, and other trendier saddles will have to be superior in these areas I've mentioned.

This is a good, solid, supporting saddle. I switched it from a San Marco C. This saddle is actually wider at the end. What a surprise!!! But it is not a Gel-like soft one. And I would not recommend it for any beginner whose muscles (gluteous) have not been built up yet. Moreover, it is not a saddle hard like Brooks. It doesn't need any 500 miles break-in period. Not to mention that Ritchey Vector has something called the Ritchey wings that act like a suspension but yet not too sooooft!!! I REPETE, IT IS NOT FOR BEGINNER.

Hey Guys, Mountain bike saddles aren't supposed to be sitting on all the time, even though if you get a really good rear suspension!!! May be if you want to sit on a saddle all the time, like people do on a cruiser bike, you would rather choose a super big Gel saddle with spring @ the bottom. However, a decent saddle can't fit everybody all the time. Try out the contour of the saddle if it suits your riding style way before you pay big bucks for it!!! >=oD | | Overall Rating: |

This saddle is a great compromise between traditional saddles and the new school superlight models. It's light, looks cool and is super
comfy. I ditched my SDG
as soon as I tried this model. For some reason, the padding doesnt seem like much - until you ride it. It's not bouncy like gel saddles nor
does it make your butt (or worse, naughty bits) numb after a few hours. And frankly, it just looks cool. Not necessarily trick or cutting
edge, but simple and understated, like a bike and good parts should! Plus, it has the World Champs rainbow stripes. | | Overall Rating: |

What can I say, these, these things are a pain in the ass literally.
The round profile of the seat doesn't support your ass properly and the padding
is thin and rips easily. The rails actually bent on my second seat that was
replaced by the distributor,on the first one the rails popped out from the
slot where it was inserted, I managed to fix it but the thing had a cronic
problem with the rails popping out.Oh, the second seat also showed signs of
fatigue and cracking at the point where the rails are inserted at the rear.
I only weigh 135lbs and this seat came on the bike that I got, I'm also not
an extremely agessive rider either, now I am a happy COMFORTABLE proud owner
of a SDG seat which is so much better. | | Overall Rating: |
