WTB SILVERADO 265 FF Narrow Test Saddle

Test saddle

Use: Adventure Road – Gravel – Cross Country – Trail – Enduro

The award-winning Silverado saddle has been updated with a shorter 265 mm length and new Fusion Form base technology to provide the same comfort you know and love, now with a modern look!

Fusion Form technology allows us to precisely tune the amount of fiber introduced into the nylon of each specific saddle model to create a flexible profile that balances comfort, support and durability to suit the intended use of each saddle. The Silverado optimizes performance in a forward-tilted pedaling position with a fiber content similar to that of the recently introduced Gravelier saddle. Fusion Form also allows the padding to be recessed into the base, providing a sleek aesthetic without actually reducing the overall thickness of the padding.

Who said you can’t make the best even better? Pressure mapping technology was used to determine where pressure occurred in the original Silverado and how we could better distribute that pressure across the sit bones. The result is a slightly flatter profile that further reduces pressure on the perineum. The Silverado now also has a shorter 265 mm length, allowing smooth movement on and off the saddle while still providing plenty of room for riders to move forward and maximize power output on steep climbs.

Flat profile – Flat saddles allow riders to tilt their pelvis to varying degrees for different riding positions. Flat saddles are best for riders who prefer different seating positions along the length of the saddle.

Shorter, 265 mm version – The Silverado now has a shorter 265 mm length, allowing smooth movement along the saddle while still providing plenty of room for riders to move forward and maximize power output on steep climbs. Its shorter length allows riders to get deeper into the cockpit while avoiding interference from the saddle nose.

Comfort zone – A small window cut out from the centerline of the saddle base to provide additional relief from pressure on sensitive areas. The Comfort Zone is a subtle difference that provides impressive, long-lasting comfort.

Thin padding – Thinner padding provides enough springiness to offer support during hard efforts while minimizing weight. Thin padding relies on the shape of the saddle and the flexibility of the base to provide the highest level of comfort.

Fusion Form – Fusion Form technology allows us to precisely tune the amount of fiber introduced into the nylon of each specific saddle model to create a flexible profile that balances comfort, support and durability to suit the intended use of each saddle. The Silverado optimizes performance in a forward-tilted pedaling position with a fiber content that balances flexibility and support. Fusion Form also allows the padding to be recessed into the base, providing a sleek aesthetic without actually reducing the overall thickness of the padding.

Microfiber cover – Used on all WTB saddles, our microfiber cover faithfully replicates the look and feel of a leather cover while offering the antibacterial and cruelty-free benefits of a synthetic material. The flexible nature of the microfiber cover allows the foam to fully support the sit bones without interfering with its springiness.
