Combining comfort, durability, and smart design, the WTB Rocket Steel Saddle gives us the performance we need without stretching the budget. Its signature shape—a narrow nose, generous mid-section, and swooped tail—makes it a favorite for everything from XC loops to technical trail rides.
The steel rails keep things rugged and dependable, while the synthetic cover resists the wear and tear of muddy days and hard pedaling. With balanced padding and a contoured profile, the Rocket helps minimize fatigue on long rides without getting in the way during descents or technical maneuvers.
Whether you're building up your first trail rig or looking to replace a stock saddle with something more ride-friendly, the Rocket delivers trusted WTB ergonomics and trail-proven comfort.

Narrower is better! (For me, anyway)
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I?ve tried so many saddles in an attempt to find something that works, and the Rocket is perfect for me. The first saddle I?ve ridden that doesn?t hurt after 2+hrs. With most other saddles I tended to be way up towards the nose and I?d get saddle sores. But since this is a bit narrower, I sit further back where I should be. Saddles are very personal, so be aware that this might not be the one for you. I used the WTB saddle finder on their website and it recommended this one, so I recommend doing that before you buy. For reference, I?m 5?10?, 130-135lbs, ~30? hip circumference. This price can?t be beat for this saddle, too.
