Description

The Gravelier Saddle is a medium width, thinly padded model built especially for gravel riders intending to race over long distances. It is short yet supportive, with a profile that cradles the pelvis when riding towards the front and a pressure-relieving perineal relief cutout.Available with a choice of rails, the saddle’s profile is optimised using Fusion Form, a ratio of fibre and nylon that ensures its shape will match its intended use. Thus, the Gravelier is tuned for a responsive, supportive profile that will absorb vibrations during hard efforts.It also curves, tip to tail, to offer “locked in” support for the pelvis when riding in racing stance for long periods and includes a thin layer of padding that balances softness with reinforcement. A perineal relief cutout, refined using pressure mapping data, promotes blood flow and reduces numbness when the hips are rotated forward, while an extended flat portion of the rails offers space for the max-min clamp range, so that the rider can choose from a wider range of fore-aft positions.Named “Best Gravel Saddle” in Bicycling’s Gear of the Year 2023 lineup and equipped with an integrated mount underneath for your tools and storage solutions, this short yet wide nosed saddle offers the best possible support for riders striving for maximum power. It will appear at Unbound, Big Sugar as saddle of choice for the WTB X Pivot Endurance Off-Road Team.Key Features:A comfortable, supportive saddle refined for long distance gravel racingFusion Form base ensures tip to tail curve cradles pelvis in forward-leaning positionOptimises power transfer while absorbing vibrationsWith perineal relief cutoutShort 246mm length alleviates unwanted pressure at front, while wide nose is supportiveIncreased clamp range means choice of more fore-aft saddle positionsWith integrated tool and storage solution mountUsed by the WTB X Pivot Endurance Off-Road TeamChoose your favourite metal rails or opt for carbon
