WTB’s 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:
- Improves blood flow and reduces numbness in sensitive areas while gravel cyclists spend extended periods of time pedaling in an aggressive, power-producing position. During the development process, WTB collected pressure mapping data of gravel riders in their natural pedaling positions for extended periods of time and used this information to determine the ideal size and exact placement of the cutout.
- 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.
- The Gravelier features a shorter nose than most saddles, which brings the overall length down to 246mm and alleviates unwanted pressure towards the front of the saddle as the hips are rotated forward during hard efforts. While it may be short, the nose is wide and features additional padding to provide additional support when a rider scoots all the way forward in order to dig deep for maximum power.
- The Gravelier is the saddle of the choice for the all-new WTB X Pivot Endurance Off-Road Team. Be prepared to see the Gravelier in the start line of races ranging from Unbound to Big Sugar.
