Founded in Marin County California, WTB strive to produce durable specialist components such as tyres, saddles, rims and grips - all major contact points for the bicycle - to make every mile as enjoyable as possible. Now catering for XC, Enduro, Downhill and Road disciplines and with their components featured on many complete bikes, they've done pretty well.
The additional weight of e-bikes creates new challenges when it comes to lifting your bike onto a rack, moving it around the garage, or hoisting it over rocks and roots on unrideable sections of trail. The Devo saddle solves this problem with its patented Pickup handle, which aids in lifting or pushing an e-bike in both transport and on-trail situations while remaining completely unnoticeable to the rider while pedaling. Our new Fusion Form base technology balances overall comfort and durability by fine-tuning the fiber content and dialing in a flex profile that is best for the Devo. Medium thickness padding eliminates pressure points in the sit bone area and provides lasting comfort for long rides that go a little longer than planned. The width contour of the Devo gradually increases for the front half of the saddle before quickly widening out to create the primary area for sit bone support. This allows you to stay seated and crank hard without the insides of your thighs rubbing on the saddle edges. A wide nose allows you to scoot forward to keep the front wheel on the ground during steep climbs that are only conquerable on an e-bike.
Features
Pickup Handle
Patented Pickup handle that provides a simple yet effective way for riders to lift and maneuver e-bikes while also being a useful grab point for pushing up rough sections of trail
Fusion Form Base
Our new Fusion Form base technology allows us to fine-tune the amount of fiber infused into the nylon of each specific saddle model to create a flex profile that balances comfort, support and durability to match the intended use of a saddle. E-mtb riders tend to remain seated over technical, jarring terrain that a rider on a traditional bike would likely stand up to pedal through. We reduced the amount of fiber in the Devo’s Fusion Form base, which improved base flex and damping to make it more forgiving and comfortable while pedaling over rough terrain.
Love Channel
The Love Channel has one very important task: protecting your body from unwanted pressure. The central depression provides soft-tissue relief without sacrificing the structural integrity of the saddle.
Medium Padding
The Devo features our Medium level of padding thickness, which eliminates pressure points in the sit bone area while still providing lasting comfort for both quick laps and full-battery adventures.
Microfiber Cover
Found on all WTB saddles, our Microfiber cover closely replicates the look and feel of a leather cover. The supple nature of the Microfiber Cover allows the foam to support the sit bones without interfering with its resiliency.
