"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I put this saddle on my trail bike and haven’t looked back. It’s supportive without being bulky, and the swooped tail helps keep me locked in on climbs. Great value too."" When we’re grinding up steep switchbacks or rallying down chunky descents, we want a saddle that stays comfortable from first pedal to last. The WTB Rocket Steel Saddle is our go-to when we’re chasing value without sacrificing ride quality. It blends long-ride comfort with a supportive shape that works across trail, enduro, and XC setups. The Rocket’s distinctive profile features a narrow nose, mid-level padding, and a slightly swooped tail—helping us stay centered on climbs and supported on aggressive terrain. Steel rails offer durability without a massive weight penalty, and the synthetic cover stands up to mud, sweat, and heavy use. Whether we're building up a budget shredder or upgrading a stock perch, this saddle delivers dialed comfort and all-ride versatility."
