$30.00 | | Purchased At: | Online | | Strengths: | Very comfy. An excellent classic shape. | | Weaknesses: | Titanium seat rails are not suited to someone my (220 pound) size. This probably applies to every saddle out there. | | Similar Products Used: | All sorts of stuff. | | Bike Setup: | GT frame with Girvin fork, looks like Mad Max would ride it. | | Bottom Line: | Good saddle, available cheap online. If you're a big 'n get the steel rails. Like the weight would make a difference anyway.
The value rating's based on the online remainders price. No telling what this thing listed for originally. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$20.00 | | Purchased At: | Greenfish | | Strengths: | Strong saddle and the front of the seat feels good during the climbs. | | Weaknesses: | Everything else. OUCH! This seat is very uncomfortable and borders on painful during long rides. I don't even like saddles with a lot of padding but it feels like you are sitting on the plastic shell w/o any padding to me. that being said-it is still worth the $20 you can get it for right now to use as a back up seat :) | | Similar Products Used: | speed v, specialized telluride, koski, other wtb's. | | Bike Setup: | enduro expert | | Bottom Line: | My .02 = not a very good saddle...I don't regret buying it though to use as a back-up. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$20.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | It looked good, besides that nothing. | | Weaknesses: | Very uncomfortable but worst of all it broke after only 3 months. The seat rails collasped while I was riding and landed. | | Similar Products Used: | Gel Tech, Coda | | Bike Setup: | Cannondale Super-V 3000 | | Bottom Line: | I will not be buying another WTB saddle as I do not think this one lasted long enough. I was riding on a normal single track trail with rocks etc and got some airtime came down and the rails on the seat just collasped. NOt the kind of performance I expected from WTB. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$30.00 | | Purchased At: | Greenfish Sports | | Strengths: | Durable design, classic WTB drop-nose, gonad cutout hidden under shell, beefy ti rails, well padded nose for steep climbing. | | Weaknesses: | Lack of padding on main part of saddle. Stiffer shell than famous .98 version. | | Similar Products Used: | WTB SST .98 ti | | Bike Setup: | Fisher Cake | | Bottom Line: | I have years and miles on a .98 WTB, and bought this saddle because it appears to be an exact remake of the .98, which is outstanding. The 2k is not.
The 2k has a stiffer, less compliant shell and much less padding on the saddle. This makes it slightly heavier, but much, much less compliant. It's downright HARD on the sit bones. At first, I thought the seat just needed a break-in. After all, my .98 has 6 years of riding on it. It's not the case, and close examination reveals why...see above.
WTB now makes a Pure V that's light, has the same drop nose, the cutout under the shell and a vee groove. Ordered it already...
If you want a very stiff saddle, this may still be okay for you. Otherwise, beware. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$30.00 | | Purchased At: | online | | Strengths: | This is a great saddle. It's very strong and comfortable but not squishy. I weigh 220 and have snapped a seatpost bolt but have never bent the rails on this saddle. It has a padded nose that is great for steep, loose climbs. | | Weaknesses: | No significant weakness. | | Similar Products Used: | Bontrager that came with the bike. Rails like limp spaghetti. | | Bike Setup: | Klein hardtail, mostly XT components. | | Bottom Line: | Some might think this saddle is a little wide for sliding off the back on steep downhills but in every other respect it does exactly what it is supposed to do. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$30.00 | | Purchased At: | Price Point | | Strengths: | Considerable amount of cushin... nice design, I have been using this saddle for less than 1 day and i can't believe i didn't buy this saddle earlier. Relief zones in all the right places... A MAJOR PLUS! | | Weaknesses: | I have been riding on this for about a day and i can't find any weaknesses yet...hopefully there won't be any. | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized Body Geometry (Stock), Performance Forte' Pro SL (Selle Italia made), Bontrager (Gary Fisher Stock) | | Bike Setup: | 2002 Specialized... with a WTB saddle | | Bottom Line: | This saddle was purchased as a replecement for my Performance Forte' Pro SL (Selle Italia made). About a week ago the Forte' began to feel like a razor blade... this was the perfect replacement. I found this saddle at pricepoint and would reccoment that anybody who is looking for a saddle look pricepoint... great selection and great prices. Anybody looking for a sleek and comfortable saddle looke to WTB... I was interested in another brand when a fellow biker reccomened looking into WTB... thanks! I would have never considered buying a WTB... RIDE ON! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: February 23, 2002 | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Strengths: | Soft tissue cut out, dropped nose allows for better seated climbing position, kevlar sides allowing smoother movement behind the saddle. Not concerned about what look is hot this month. | | Weaknesses: | I have not found a weakness in this product,not even from the first time I rode my bike. The have stopped making them. | | Similar Products Used: | Nothing has even come close | | Bike Setup: | Homegrown XTR, WTB SST 2K | | Bottom Line: | This is the best saddle that I have ridden for long rides of over 50 miles down to the 20+ mile races. I have never got my shorts caught or had trouble sliding off the back for those steep down hill descents. I have felt that the saddle was developed with my style of riding in mind fast, long and fun. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
