Since saddle comfort is mostly about fit, it’s tough to review them. What I find comfortable might feel horrible to you, so we must stress that finding the right saddle usually requires trying a few out. The Volt is now offered in three widths to increase the odds of a good fit (I liked the 135 millimeter).
The rails, however,
are short–if you need a lot of fore-aft adjustment, you may need to shop
elsewhere. Most saddles these days have a pressure-relief area in the
center, and the Volt is no exception. The back flairs up a bit to keep the
rider in position, and the nose slopes in the front with a gentle downward
curve, so steep climbs don’t feel like you just dropped the soap. Out of all
the seats in the test, the Volt has the cushiest foam, but not so cushy that
you sink into it. The Team version has titanium rails, but it’s also available
with carbon, cromoly and steel.
