WTB Rocket Medium Steel Saddle – Black

Comfort and support for riders who spend serious time in the saddle.

The WTB Rocket is built for mountain bikers and e-MTB riders who want a more supportive saddle for seated climbing, technical trails and longer days on the bike. Its curved profile cradles the rider, while the raised rear section provides something solid to push against when grinding up steep climbs.

Compared with flatter, racier saddles, the Rocket delivers a planted and reassuring feel. Generous padding helps absorb trail vibration and provides added comfort for riders who remain seated through climbs and rough terrain.

Support Where You Need It

The Rocket’s hidden Backstop creates a subtle ramp at the rear of the saddle. It helps hold your riding position when the trail points upward, reducing the tendency to slide backwards while pedalling on steep climbs.

This makes the Rocket particularly well suited to e-MTB, trail and enduro bikes, where riders often spend more time seated while climbing.

Pressure-Relieving Comfort

WTB’s central Love Channel reduces pressure on sensitive soft tissue without compromising the strength and support of the saddle.

The Fusion Form base is engineered to provide a controlled balance of flex, support and durability. It helps absorb vibration from the bike while remaining supportive when pedalling hard.

Built for Real Mountain Bikes

An integrated handle is hidden beneath the rear of the saddle, providing a convenient grip when lifting a heavier e-bike onto a rack, over an obstacle or through a hike-a-bike section.

Durable steel rails make this version a dependable choice for everyday trail riding, e-MTB use and riders who value strength over saving a small amount of weight.

Is the WTB Rocket Right for You?

Choose the Rocket if you prefer a supportive, cradled saddle rather than a flat and minimalist race saddle.

It is particularly well suited to riders who:

• Spend plenty of time seated while climbing

• Want more cushioning and support than a low-profile XC saddle

• Ride an e-MTB, trail bike or enduro bike

• Prefer a defined rear section that helps keep them planted

• Value durable construction and practical trail features

Saddle comfort is highly personal. For the best result, match the saddle width to your sit-bone measurement and riding position.
