WTB High Tail Carbon And Volt Carbon saddles

WTB High Tail Carbon

WTB'S HIGH TAIL saddle has been designed with input from suspension specialist Dave Weagle and features a strikingly concave rear end designed to prevent rear wheel buzz when you're running the seat down low on a long-travel bike.

At 159g for the carbon railed version, it's light enough to bolt on to an XC bike. The Volt is a more conventional perch that aims to combine race-ready weight (156g in carbon guise) with all-day comfort thanks to generous padding, a low nose and a deep "love channel" that should keep you ready for action, on the bike or off it!

PRICE High Tail 270$, Volt 240$

ENVE M50 29" Wheels

Utah based company ENVE have been making drool-worthy carbon components for some years now. Despite the fact that carbon rims are becoming more and more common on mountain bikes these days, you can guarantee that ENVE wheels will be a talking point when someone is eyeing off a steed. Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.
