WTB SL8 Cromoly saddle

Elegant, slight curves accentuate this inviting shape that redefines what comfort is capable of at such a low weight. From where the pavement ends, to B-road pursuits and cyclocross run ups, our SL8 saddle provides irrefutable comfort in a minimalist, svelte package. Features: - Narrow, tapered nose and midsection minimizes chafing during longer pedaling sessions. - Short overall length for seamless on-off transitions. - Thin, lightweight padding keeps the overall weight down. Specifications: - Usage: Adventure Road - Gravel - Cross Country - Gravity - Sizing: Wide (150 x 265 mm) - Rail: cromoly - Weight: +- 276 g Cromoly rails: - Increased strength and less weight make cromoly steel a noticeable upgrade over traditional steel rails. The perfect choice for bikepackers. Microfiber cover: - Found on most WTB saddles, our Microfiber cover closely replicates the look and feel of a leather cover. The supple nature of the Microfiber Cover allows the foam to support the sit bones without interfering with its resiliency. Flex-Tuned shell: - The Flex-Tuned shell boasts an exceptional mix of comfortable flex and firm efficiency. Not as supple as the Soft-Shell and not as stiff as the Carbon Composite Shell, Flex-Tuned saddles provide the happy medium that is ideal for most enthusiasts. Gel padding + HLX: - Strategically placed gel inserts conform to the specific shape and width of a rider’s sit bones to provide a fit that is unique to the rider. The gel inserts are surrounded by our Standard Padding to provide additional padding that will not pinch or put pressure on soft tissues. HLX padding is 30% more shock absorbent than polyurethane. Cromoly saddles with medium and thick levels of padding feature the added comfort of HLX+ Gel padding, which uses strategically placed gel inserts in areas where a rider’s sit bones contact the saddle.
