I don’t know how it’s possible to make a 29er-specific seat, but that’s apparently what the Thar is. Really though, it just has super-long rails that allow for a ton of foreaft adjustment. The flat section of the rails measure 95 millimeters–at least 15 millimeters longer than any of the other seats tested.
Depending on how long your seatpost clamps are, you can expect 40 or more millimeters of adjustment. I’d say that’s pretty sweet, no matter what wheel size you’re running. The Thar is the only saddle we tested that doesn’t have a pressure-relief recess, but that might not be an issue if the fit is right. Measuring 125 millimeters at the widest point, it’s on the narrower end, but I found that my sit bones (which measure 110 millimeters) fit nicely on the flat-shaped seat. I loved the wide, stubby nose, which made this saddle one of the most comfortable ones for steep climbs.
