Strengths:
Most comfortable saddle I've ever ridden. Looks cool too.

Bottom Line:
I have been happy with every WTB saddle I've ever owned but the Stealth takes top dog. As long as WTB keeps turning out saddles like they can count on my exclusive business.

Strengths:
Comfy seat that looks good too.
Weaknesses:
There are several stitching seems that might be uncomfortable for some.
Similar Products Used:
WTB Rocket (too thin for my bottom)
Bike Setup:
GT Avalanche 1.0 (XL)
Bottom Line:
This seems like the wider version of the WTB Rocket, which was exactly what I was looking for. I can ride all day; day after day, without any soreness 'down there'. The center of the seat does flex slightly to accomodate rough terrain. I would recommend this seat to anyone who is looking for something slightly wider than your standard saddle.

Strengths:
Light, comfortable, easy to maneuver on.

Bottom Line:
I have been riding on this saddle for a little over a year in off road triathlons like Xterra. It has been durable (surviving a few crashes here and there) and comfortable. I think WTB makes a good product as far as saddles go. I would go with this or the Rocket depending on your preference regarding width - the Pure is wider.
