Steel Rail Padding

DNAx:

Soft to the touch, this lightweight polyurethane padding is a great option for anyone experiencing sore contact points on their saddle. Ideal for rides of shorter duration.

Cromoly Rail Padding

HLX + Gel PADDING:

30% more shock absorbent than polyurethane, HLX padding is plusher than our DNA padding. It’s a great option for those of you who prioritize squishiness over weight savings. Wish your memory foam mattress topper could be transformed into a saddle? Look no further than our HLX padding.

Gel inserts provide additional support to prevent the pinching of soft tissues while also cradling the sit bones in a comfortable position on the saddle.

Titanium Rail Padding

DNA PADDING:

Superlight polyurethane provides a dense padding that dramatically reduces saddle weight and provides our ultimate level of support. DNA padding holds its shape incredibly well over long rides as well as throughout the lifetime of the saddle, providing unbeatable comfort on long rides and durability in the years to come.

Carbon Rail Padding (NA)

Not Available for Rocket

WTB Rocket Steel Saddle

Steel Rail

Our entry-level saddles utilize strong and reliable steel rails to provide lasting comfort and durability and affordability.

WTB Rocket Cromoly Saddle

Cromoly Rail

Increased strength and less weight make cromoly steel a noticeable upgrade over traditional steel rails. The perfect choice for bikepackers and avid off road riders.

WTB Rocket Titanium Saddle

Titanium Rail

Nearly as light as carbon, titanium rails are able to flex without losing structural integrity, making it a top material for saddle rails.

Cover Materials

MICROFIBER COVER:

Found on all 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.

ABR CORNERS:

Abrasion Resistant Corners, these durable patches of material protect the corners and sides of the saddle from rips and tears

It feels fine for a budget minded saddle. While my sit bones fit just right width wise, the padding, though thick, is a tad firm. My butt definitely feels it during a ride. For reference, I don’t wear a chamois, just riding pants. Maybe with a chamois it’ll take the sting out. The nose also feels a bit short. When I get up onto the nose for climbing it’s not comfortable. Still at half the price of other brand name saddles, I’m overall happy.

The vinyl on the bottom started to peel up after a couple rides. I glued it and it is holding so far.
Clean, simple saddle.

This saddle has a gently contoured seating surface, slightly firm paddling, and a little bit of flex in the body. I like it. Ive been using an older version on another mountain bike for years and many many miles.
Great Saddle !!!

Good value and comfortable. I’m not very concerned about weight so didn’t go for the upgrade model, but I wish there was gel padding too.

I've been riding with this saddle for about a month. It is very comfortable when used with my padded shorts. I bought this when I started mountain biking and thought my sit bones would hurt for a week or two as they got used to sitting on a bike seat. This saddle felt immediately comfortable. The shape of the tail really helps keep you in the seat, and make small adjustments with your sitting position depending on if you're climbing or pedaling through flat sections. The seat looks great and seems durable. The size wide feels great at 6'2", I don't have 'narrow' hips bones.
Great all purpose seat

Not quite pure road or pure trial, the Rocket strikes a balance making it work for either, and went on one of mtn bikes that has spare wheels/skinny tires to double as a gravel bike. Saddles are very personal, for me WTB has been a go to for many of my bikes, none have I regretted. Their partricular style of seat which includes a nice channel, a bit of a down curve rising up and out to the back just works for me. This Rocket is a bit higher end, Titanium rails, a bit less padding that other WTB's but not harsh. It just fit me right away, and I didn't want to get off my "gravel" bike while enjoying mid 60's temps today. Beautifully made and finished, a serious seat, but not a particularly harsh one, those ti rails seem to work. At $99 not cheap but not super pricey either.

I own 4 mountain bikes, 1 road bike and 1 adult BMX bike. The WTB saddles are all I use. They look great. The material used and the design of the WTB saddles make for a comfortable ride, and they can take a beating. Be sure to measure your "sit bones" to get the correct recommended seat width.Find a thick piece of cardboard and sit on it so your sit bones make impressions on the cardboard (you might have to bounce a bit to make impressions). If you can manage it, draw your knees close to your chest to put more weight on your backside. With pencil or pen, draw circles following the outer edge of the impressions and put a dot in the center of each circle. Measure the distance between the dots in millimeters (or in inches and google the inches to millimeter conversion). Add 15 millimeters to your measurement and you have your recommended seat width. If the available seat size is a few millimeters off, you should still be fine. My seat bone measurement is 127mm. I order 142mm to 145mm seats every time and they are always on point.You can't go wrong with the WTB saddle. Great price, quality product and many different models to give your bike the look you're after.
