WTB Volt saddle review: safe bet for biking bums

by 0


The WTB Volt saddle is not a new saddle. New aesthetics aside, the shape and construction remain unchanged. Thank heavens for that!

Three things I liked

  • Comfort
  • Decent price
  • New styling is a big improvement

Three things I’d change

  • Durability could be better on the rear corners
  • Fancier rail option with deep padding would be nice
  • Wish it came on all test bikes (to be fair, it often does!)

Orange Switch 6er. Stif Squatcher. Schwalbe Magic Mary Purple Addix front. Maxxis DHR II 3C MaxxTerra rear. Coil fan. Ebikes are not evil. I have been a writer for nigh on 20 years, a photographer for 25 years and a mountain biker for 30 years. I have written countless magazine and website features and route guides for the UK mountain bike press, most notably for the esteemed and highly regarded Singletrackworld. Although I am a Lancastrian, I freely admit that West Yorkshire is my favourite place to ride. Rarely a week goes by without me riding and exploring the South Pennines.
