Silverado Saddle, Bike Saddle, Black, 135mm x 280mm, 176g, Unisex-Adults

I'm enjoying this saddle. Longer rides are now easier. I usually use Brooks Cambium C13 but wanted to try shedding a little extra weight on my hard tail. This saddle is a great balance of weight, price and comfort. Many rides in, no signs of wear.

Less is more with this Saddle. Its on the light side of padding, but is plenty adequate. If you hind end is already used to saddles you should like this a bunch. If you are new to ridding and/or like a think amount of padding look elsewhere. I find the saddle very comfy for long rides in the mountains and shorter local rides. As far as durability time will tell, but this replaced a prior model that was five years old that I broke the rail on. I don't blame the seat for the broken rail as I had used, abused and crashed the bike multiple times. I have broke other seats and seat posts in my almost 30 years of mountain biking. Also had jumped many times and come down hard on it. To sum it up its a great value saddle that looks good, is comfy, and should last a long time.

Very comfortable for about the first hour and a half and towards the end of a three hour ride I couldn’t wait to get off. This saddle has considerably more padding than any I’ve owned which I thought might help for longer rides but that’s certainly not the case. If I had to guess it’d be the saddle is a little to flat and doesn’t offer enough relief cutout in the middle. I’m going to try the Fizik Argo R5 and see if that’s the holy grail.

I have tried a few different seats on my mountain and gravel bike and the Silverado has become my favorite. I have the older/longer model with chromoly rails on my gravel bike and the new shorter (265mm) Silverado with steel rails on my mountain bike. Both are comfortable for long or shorter rides and have just the right amount of thickness, for me at least. Im sure there are nicer saddles for 5 or 6x the cost but the Silverado is tough to beat at around $30.

I bought the titanium rail Silverado to replace my Ergon SM. After building my last bike my Ergon just didn't fit me well. I went with the WTB based on a friend's advice. Today I got I put it through a few good tests through rock gardens, up technical climbs, down a jump line, and off a few drops. The saddle was there and comfortable when I needed it and it disappeared when I didn't want it in my way. The shape and nose made for a good technical climbing saddle and helped keep the rear end under control. The quality is very solid. I'm sure that I'll get a few good seasons out of this.

If you are looking for a flat saddle with comfort in all positions (aero, climbing, seated) you simply cannot beat the Silverado. I’ve had the fancy shape shifting saddle, a 3-D printed saddle and the short nose types, they worked for me for a few months but I was never really comfortable. The Silverado is neutral and flat so all you have to do is dial in tilt and forward/aft position. When climbing the rear part of the saddle has good padding and when you are tucked down in aero position the nose is supportive. Weight is irrelevant if you are reading this, weight is irrelevant for 99.9% of all cyclist needing a new saddle 100g difference in saddle weight means nothing so don’t focus on that and get trapped buying expensive lightweight saddles, like I did before buying this Silverado.

Quite happy with this purchase. The seat on my old Trek Fuel EX5 was showing wear and wasn’t particularly comfortable so I decided to upgrade and I’m really happy I did. My daughter has been riding a WBT Volt for the past couple of years and has really liked it, so I decided I’d try the Silverado. So far, I’ve ridden approximately 30 miles on this saddle (in last couple/few weeks) and don’t have a single ding against it.

I hunted around a lot. Tried many different seats. Used this seat for 8hr gravel bike race. It was great. Paired with Eliel bibs and European style chamois butter I was pretty comfortable the entire way. Seat recommendation from Yuri. Can’t just try the seat on a stationary bike. They all suck there. This seat is great. Titanium rails don’t break like carbon ones. Light. Flexi. Comfy. I’m 5’10” 185 lbs. bike is an open UP. Running Nanos 40cc at 35psi
