      Comments about WTB Pure V Race Saddle - Men's:

      I bought this saddle to replace the stock saddle the came with my Cannondale 29er and found it to be great saddle for my needs. I'm a male cyclist at 6'-0" tall and 150 lbs. and this saddle provides a good balance between comfort and weight. I have used it for bouncing around the desert as well as street and smooth granite paths and found it to be very comfortable. I have yet to be on it for more than an hour, but so far, my hands get tired before my rear end does. I'm glad I bought it.

        I go mountain biking every weekend and not only is the saddle comfortable but it also supports me on the jumps and drops and I feel no numbness or pain like I used to with my old saddle.

          Comments about WTB Pure V Race Saddle - Men's:

          I tried this saddle starting last year on my commuter bike, it has since found a place on all of my bikes from my carbon mtb to my cyclocross trainer. I like the shape, the "love channel" prevents pinching and pressure where it counts. I like the slight upsweep at the back where I can push back with my tail to take pressure off of other parts of the saddle. It may not be the lightest saddle, but it is very comfortable with mid-level weight. It's even more comfortable then the big ole gel saddle I threw on my indoor training bike.

            Comments about WTB Pure V Race Saddle - Men's:

            I've gone thru a few seats and this is the first one that I love. Not a huge fan of the graphics on it, but the dropped nose & wider tail make it extremely comfortable for me.

            I find the padding just right. A little flex without too much give.

            I replaced the factory seat on my Specialized MTB with this saddle and couldn't be happier. Just the right amount of cushion too keep you comfortable yet sturdy enough to hold you in your seat. Good seat!

            Great looking seat. Felt harder than I have on the bike but wanted something I didn't feel like I was sliding off of. Perhaps is was the way I had it configured or use, but was too uncomfortable. Shot pains down my legs. I rode it for 2 - 16 mile rides and had to replace. I am trying a softer seat. We'll see how that goes.
