This is not a saddle. This is Devo. WTB's under-butt offering for racing is moderately wide side to side (140mm) and relatively short front to rear (255mm). It looks unlike anything else in its category. At first, it seems like a downhill saddle -- and twice-over world DH champ Fabian Barel uses it -- but a close inspection and a squeeze indicates that it's right for all kinds of racing. That's because the shell is a carbon composite that is firm but flexes just enough. That flex is combined with light titanium rails, Superlight DNA padding which is thin, light, and dense. Just a little plush for the tush. The WTB Devo Carbon saddle is wrapped in luscious leather, with the increasingly-standard anti numbness channel down the middle. 190g.

If a 10g weight penalty doesn't have you seeing red, then the WTB Devo SLT saddle might be more to your liking than the carbon. Of course, the saddle comes in red, so if you're seeing red, that's because you are. As with the Devo Carbon, the saddle is stretched across titanium rails, only the SLT has a nylon fiber shell rather than carbon composite. The padding is minimally thicker DNA padding. Otherwise, the saddle is identical to the Devo Carbon -- 140x255mm, flex-tuned shell, leather cover, anti numbness channel. Available in Red and Black. 200g.
