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$, Volt 240$
