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 Gravelier represents the pinnacle of pedaling comfort and performance for gravel riders who put in big miles at an expeditious pace. Gravel riders tend to pedal in a forward-leaning position for long periods of time and the Gravelier accommodates this with a side profile that curves from tip-to-tail and cradles the pelvis to provide “locked-in” support. The perineal relief cutout of the Gravelier improves blood flow and reduces numbness in sensitive areas when the hips are rotated forward in an aggressive, forward-leaning pedaling position. The Gravelier’s short 246mm length is paired with a mid-length section that quickly widens out to provide ample room if riders choose to shift beyond the primary support zone. Built for Speed. Built for Distance. Built for Gravel.
Features
Perineal Relief Cutout
Improves blood flow and reduces numbness in sensitive areas when the hips are rotated forward in an efficient, forward-leaning pedaling position.
Fusion Form Base
New 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. The Gravelier’s unique base provides a supportive and responsive flex profile that optimizes power transfer under hard efforts while also absorbing vibrations transferred through the bike.
Extended Clamp Range
We extended the flat portion of the rails to increase the Min-Max clamp range and allow riders to choose between a wider range of fore/aft saddle positions.
Intergrated Tool Mount
Check out the underside of the Gravelier and you’ll find an integrated mount for tools and on-bike storage solutions. The integrated mount is compatible with saddle accessories made by existing brands, such as PRO.
Thin Padding
Thinner padding provides just enough foundational squish to provide support during hard efforts and often provide the most comfort for long rides. Saddles with thin padding rely on proper saddle fit and base flex to provide ultimate comfort.
