Description
The new Ritchey WCS Skyline V2 Saddle keeps the ergonomic curve that supports sit bones and the generous cutout to relieve perineal pressure of the original Skyline but updates it with new construction for more durability, better aesthetics and a lighter weight. Built with a unique manufacturing technology that adheres the premium grade saddle cover to the base without any visible seams, glue, stitching or staples, the new WCS Skyline is now waterproof, will last longer and keeps the weight to a minimum. The saddle padding is made from a new super lightweight polyurethane foam material that is 30% more shock absorbent than traditional foam, which reduces rider fatigue.
Like the original, the new Skyline design features a curved two-axis shape that brings a rise towards the rear of the saddle and a bit of lift into the nose. This shape is ideal for riders who lack flexibility and want more support, yet still offers a good position for riders who demand a healthy dose performance with their comfort. The WCS Skyline's shell is a Nylon/carbon fiber composite that is stiff and delivers consistent power to the pedals while resilient to hard use over time. The rails are tubular stainless steel which drops a little weight and contributes to defeating road vibrations and impacts. Another highlight of the WCS Skyline V2 is Ritchey’s revolutionary patented Vector Wing technology, which helps eliminate hot spots by dissipating pressure more evenly for all-day comfort for wherever your pedal strokes take you- road, gravel, trails and beyond.
