The WTB Solano Saddle is tailored for riders looking for comfort and support on medium to long rides, especially those who pedal hard while maintaining a constant seated position. It makes use of Fusion Form technology and enhanced padding to bolster the seat in all 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 Saddle, in contrast with the Solano SL, offers 4mm added thickness under the sit bones and 2mm in the middle and nose, making it suitable for long club or training rides, particularly for riders not keen on riding with a chamois.
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.
