        Comments about Wilderness Trail Bikes Speed V ProGel Saddle - Men's:

        Choosing a saddle is a personal thing, so it's hard to make specific saddle recommendations for others. However, if this saddle fits you, it's a good choice. The materials and workmanship are excellent for the price.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Comments about Wilderness Trail Bikes Speed V ProGel Saddle - Men's:

          Within reason, I am more concerned with the comfort of a saddle than its weight. While there are plenty of lighter saddles out there this is one great All Around saddle. I had one on my road bike and bought a second for my new off road bike. If you are really serious about racing, the weight of this saddle, as compared to a true racing saddle, will be a concern, but the comfort factor cannot be beat. In comparison with some other gel saddles, this one has a solid feel when you sit on it, not that squishy feel. While this may seem contradictory, the ride is truly comfortable.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

            Comments about Wilderness Trail Bikes Speed V ProGel Saddle - Men's:

            Over the years, I have tried several saddles, and this one is by far the best. The padding is just right - enough to be comfortable on long rides, but not so much that the saddle feels "squishy". The saddle is well made, appears to be durable, and has held up perfectly for the first 600 miles.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

              This seat works great for me. It beats out my factory K2 seat by a long, long shot.

              Gel padding is good and after some seat adjustments and positioning I'm very happy with it.

              Comments about Wilderness Trail Bikes Speed V ProGel Saddle - Men's:

              I originally purchased the WTB Pro Gel saddle and had high hopes after reading reviews. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed with the comfort (i.e. The WTB "love channel" does not cut it) and durability (my brother-in-law had his fall apart on him). I purchased the Respiro Soft A-5130 and could not be happier. The cut out design really relieves pressure from your nether region and the "Royal Gel" is not too soft or hard. The vent design keeps your boys cool. Make the switch...I did!
