The Rocket V is WTB’s most popular high-performance saddle both on the road and
in the dirt. The uniquely contoured pad shape helps increase power output by
properly angling the sit bones. This is the saddle of choice for current downhill
world champion Steve Peat of the Santa Cruz Syndicate.†The Rocket V SLT sits in
the race category for WTB but has become a favorite amongst all types of
recreational riders as well. With several models to choose from with varying
weights and materials, the SLT sits at the top of the line on the Rocket V with
titanium rails and kevlar reinforced corners.

Features:
Love Channelâ„¢: Found on all WTB saddles, the Love Channel has one very important
task: protect your body from unwanted pressures. Unlike other more radical
approaches, this central depression provides soft-tissue relief without sacrificing
the design integrity of the saddle.
DNA Padding: Found on our high-end models, this lightweight padding dramatically
reduces the weight of the saddle. It is denser and has better memory properties
allowing it to form to the contours of your active cyclist body.
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, Flex-Tuned saddles provide the happy medium that is ideal for most
enthusiasts.
