Review on Medi-Swift Saddle by John Castle

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Comfort for serious riders

I ride 7 days a week mostly trails and the occasional road. Most trips last at least two hours, sometimes five hours. WTB is the only saddle I've used since 1998 because I haven't tried any other saddle that comes close to comfort and that's because this saddle is designed to flex. On every bike I've bought (2 dedicated Stumpjumpers, Trek Stache 7, Yeti Hardtail, REI Novara, 2 Jamis Renegades) I've dropped the stock seats and replaced them with WTBs. I prefer plain steel to chromoly rails because a chromoly WTB broke a few years ago. I think the cheaper steel rail saddle is stronger. When I rode alone for 24 hours, the WTB saddle saved my back from destruction.
