RodTi Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Hello all! Any mtb'rs ride on Velo saddles? Heard they are pretty similar in material and construction to the WCS [Ritchey] - obviously not the same, but close - at half the price? Don't have particular model name - but mtbr.com seems to only have ratings for freeride/downhill/comfort ranges... So would like to hear from anyone who rides one and is happy with them... I need to replace my saddle unfortunately - apart from Velo and WCS [+/- R800] - any others at the mid R500/600 worth looking at? Or should I not skimp and fork out the cash? Apart from comfort, longevity and possible weight considerations [not really an issue on the mtb] - any particular reason why I should spend R1000/1500 on a saddle?.... Thanks!
starclassic Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 RodTiI'd reccommend a Fizik Gobi - having had a wcs and velo on previous bikes, I can honestly say the Gobi is worth every cent! You rear will thank you! K
OcTaLL Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 I ride with 2 saddles on my bikes, road, track and MTB, flite gel and fizik arione Ti, they both very comfee when ridden in.
Christie Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 A plush but heavy saddle is the Selle Italia prolink gel. It almost feels like my hardtail has a suspension seatpost. A small problem is that the rails are on the short side, so do not offer a lot of fore/arft adjustment.
