Ritchey WCS Contrail Vector Evo Saddle - Black

The key to the system is the patented Vector Evo rail. Far more than just another ‘mono rail’ design, the Vector Evo acts like a carefully-tuned suspension system for your body weight, managing stress through the rail itself and into the Vector Wing. It also allows an amount of lateral flex that flows with your pedal stroke, further eliminating hot spots on long rides. The design is also very strong and prevents the sag that most other lightweight saddles suffer.

There are other lightweight saddles out there, and other single-rail saddle designs from the ‘big names’. But no other saddle system offers the level of refined ride comfort, weight savings and adjustment range as the Ritchey Vector Evo.

Ritchey Saddles

The Ritchey road saddle line, called Streem, conjures up images of flowing smoothly through water effortlessly. A good saddle compliments your pedaling style to produce beautiful round circles and the Streem series brings this benefit to users.
