$90.00 | | Purchased At: | price point | | Strengths: | Advertisements - marketing | | Weaknesses: | construction and quality | | Similar Products Used: | Several Specialized, Trek, Fizik | | Bike Setup: | Trek Fuel EX 9.8 | | Bottom Line: | This product was horrible - flip one over and you can see the lack of detail and attention to quality. I ordered three saddles online that were WTB and none of them worked out - hard and uncomfortable - do not waste your time or money buying these products. I have no idea why these saddles would be rated as highly as I have read unless it is employees from the company writing the reviews. If you are looking for a quality saddle that has paid attention to construction and comfort I would suggest Fizik - do not keep buying the crap from China and Tawain or WTB. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: October 3, 2009 | | Favorite Trail: | Forest Lea Trails | | Duration Product Used: | Tested or demo'ed only | | Strengths: | Light, strong, wide and comfortable | | Weaknesses: | I've only tried it on my brother's bike. But we always rides together and he swears by it. No problems so far and he's had it for a year now. | | Similar Products Used: | Many Selle Italia models | | Bike Setup: | Kona Dawg Primo (brother's bike) | | Bottom Line: | I always try to save a few grams here and there and thus I always end up purchasing Selle Italia saddles. I currently have two bikes and each has a Selle Italia saddle (SLR Ti & C2 Gel Flow). Both of them are not very comfortable (little padding) and try to separate my butt cheeks (that's right, you know what I'm talking about).
The WTB Laser V Pro saddle looks like it weighs 350g (which is why i didn't buy one) but after trying it and looking up the specs I was very surprised to find out it only weighs 255 grams (same as my C2 Gel Flow!)
This saddle isn't as long as Selle Italia's, but it's a bit wider. you don't get that "but separating" feeling and it has plenty of padding to make it an extremely comfortable ride.
I sit on my saddle 70% of the time when I ride and about half way through on a Selle Italia my butt hurts but I could ride all day with this WTB.
This is an honest review by Xilant.

$25.00 | | Purchased At: | Ebay | | Strengths: | Light, and very comfortable, the V cut makes it easy to ride for hours. | | Weaknesses: | none yet | | Similar Products Used: | WTB SST (Kevlar) hurt my ass so bad...even with a gel pad. | | Bike Setup: | '98 V-link 1.2
Marzocchi CX600 | | Bottom Line: | One word COMFORT!!! this thing is so nice! the V channel and comfort zones make it easy to ride for 3 hours like nothing. Mine is an older year model and its still great. Also you can beat how light this thing is. Check out ebay for great deals on all WTB saddels. Got this one for $25 it retails for more than double. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
