The WTB Solano SL Saddle is tailored for riders looking for comfort and support on short, intense rides, especially those who demand peak performance while maintaining a seated position. It makes use of Fusion Form technology and enhanced padding to bolster the seat in the right places.
Fusion Form is a special blend of fibres that ensures the shape of each WTB saddle matches its intended use. In this case, since excessive padding can leave high-performance riders feeling unsupported during long sessions, the maximum padding is isolated to the sit bones, while perineal and front pressure is reduced through less padding.
The Solano SL Saddle, in contrast with the Solano, offers less padding under the sit bones and marginally less in the middle and nose, for lightness and added support, making it particularly suited to racing or short, explosive training sessions.
Meanwhile, its short length, low padding profile and rounded tail ensure that, when it's time to stand up out of the saddle for hard efforts and climbs, it's easy to move around, unencumbered.
