Date Reviewed: January 5, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | A bit wider than most. flatter from side to side and front to back. | | Weaknesses: | No available scuff protection for the corners; it's not really marketed as an off-road saddle. It tends to 'sack out' a little | | Bike Setup: | ByStickel 29er HT. | | Bottom Line: | Best saddle(s) I've ever owned. I require a wider saddle and the Devo/Deva(don't be scared of the Deva. it's the same width and shape but has a VERY firm bit of gel inside. It's difficult to tell which one you're on) models fit my wider hips and keep the pressure away from the important bits. The rear of the saddle is very flat and I think that's the key to comfort. I also bought it because it looks quite flat from nose to tail, but with use, it develops some sag and more'saddle' to it. I do wish it stayed flatter because I have to point the nose up a bit in order to keep the rear seating portion of the saddle flat. Fairly minor complaint, though; like I said, it's the best I've ever tried. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$70.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Comfort and durability, reasonably light. | | Weaknesses: | none so far. | | Similar Products Used: | Selle Italia SLR, WTB Rocket V Stealth, Selle San Marco Aspide | | Bike Setup: | Fisher Ferrous 29 SS, Casati Monza SLX roadie, IRO Mark V fixie | | Bottom Line: | For me, this is the most comfortable saddle I have owned (and I have ridden on a lot). I use them on my road and mountain bike and can't be happier. They are a little pricey, but you can find screaming deals on them at Performance once in a while. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$40.00 | | Purchased At: | Bike Barn | | Strengths: | This is a review of the Ti model.
This is a very light saddle. It was an OEM saddle on some high end Giant. I found it in the local bike store bargain bin.
It was very hard at first and I though I that wasted my mone. But after two rides it was very compliant (or I got used to it!). Now I would not swap it for anything else.
This is as comfy as a Rocket V but a bit lighter (and better looking IMO). | | Weaknesses: | Graphics rub off quickly. Take a little time to wear in.
Can't find another one for this price. | | Similar Products Used: | Selle Italia Flite, a couple of Bontragers (made by Selle San Marco), Vetta SL Ti, SDG iFly, Specialized BG and WTB Rocket V. | | Bike Setup: | Trek with Easton, WTB, Ritchey WCS and Salsa upgrades. | | Bottom Line: | This is THE BEST saddle I have ever used. I have experienced numbness with all the others (except the Vetta and other WTB).
I highly recommend this saddle for comfort, light weight (205g) and wear. it is the best of all worlds. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$55.00 | | Purchased At: | Full Cycle on Pearl St. | | Strengths: | Short saddle with low profile. | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | flight, kore | | Bike Setup: | Mongoose Canaan | | Bottom Line: | Great seat for smaller riders! I'm 5'8" and 150lbs. This seat is super comfortable and easy to get around for tough climbing sections and for steep downhill sections. I find that I can slide on it without feeling too slippery, and stick to it when that's required. It's a fine saddle!!! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$50.00 | | Purchased At: | Online | | Strengths: | Light, stiff, decent width | | Weaknesses: | None so far | | Similar Products Used: | Selle italia, specialized body geometry | | Bike Setup: | Epic, Hutch Pythons, WCS post | | Bottom Line: | A great saddle. Ridden it in enduro and marathon events and it has formed a beautiful relationship with my butt. Yeah, I know it is a personal thing when it comes to saddles but the Devo feels much more solid than its weight belies and has a well designed gel pad that prevents numbness and saddle sores. I wouldn't be hucking or going sick-bro fr with it, but for lighter-impact stuff its tops | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$90.00 | | Purchased At: | online | | Strengths: | Very comfortable on long rides. The looks of this saddle can be deceiving and at first it feels rock hard. However this saddle takes on a shape that is quite a bit different from most of WTB's saddles: the rear of the saddle is a bit wider and front tapers more. It is also much flatter than run of the mill WTB saddles. For some reason this all translates into less frequent numbness with the pernium and longer, more enjoyable rides. | | Weaknesses: | Not a lot of padding so it takes a ride or two to get used to the hard feeling. It's not as bad as full on old school XC racing saddles, but it's close. I find myself riding more towards the front of this saddle when set exactly flat with the aide of a level. I have to force my butt back to sit on the wider portion of the saddle. | | Similar Products Used: | Various Selle Italia saddles. | | Bike Setup: | Orbea 'Oiz' with Fox F100, Crossmax SL's, '07 XTR/XO mix, Gravity Dropper saddle, previously this saddle was on an '06 Titus 'Moto-Lite'. | | Bottom Line: | Despite it being an odd feeling saddle at first, I really like it now and have added one to my other mt. bikes. Out of all the saddles I've ridden with since 1991, the Devo causes very little numbness and it sets in a lot later in a ride. With it I can stay seated a lot longer before having to stand and let the blood flow. Plus, if Mark Weir rides one that says a lot..... | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
