HUGE fan of WTB V saddles here! I just picked up a Pure V for free, and also have a Rocket V (narrow race version) and a Speed V, both of which were acquired for little or no money. Of course I use them mostly on mtb's which are upright-ish bikes. I don't have a lot of time on the Rocket or Pure yet, but I have been on some rough root riddled trails with the Speed V. While riding in the rough stuff like that I tend to forget the Speed V is even there under me. I guess that is what comfort is on any given saddle? It's the ability to forget that it's there, and just ride.,,,,BD

The only Bontrager saddles I have experience with are factory saddles on Trek mountain bikes. They seem to break rather easily and when they do the rear corners of the saddle collapse, and they roll into a foam cylinder. The ones from the last few years though, seem to always have at least one and sometimes two bent rails when the bikes come in for service.

The ones that roll up into a cylinder..
