Description
The Silverado?s long, flat shape enables riders to utilize more of the nose while climbing, while the square profile distributes more weight onto the sit bones. This saddle uses a Flex-Tuned shell, Comfort Zone and DNA padding. The Silverado is the official saddle of four-time world champion Brian Lopes. The Silverado SL55 saddle, shown here, features graphics created by Lopes and renowned artist Paul Meraz.

Pros: Very light weight, narrow saddle. Flat for distributing pressure on the sit bones. Makes for a great "Sit-down-and-crank-uphill" seat. Very sturdy build. Good leather material.

Cons: none

Recommendation: A little hard when it's brand new, but it gets a little softer when you clock some time on it. Great saddle!

Pros: Comfy, light, narrow

Cons: Nose is a little too long.

Recommendation: This is a great saddle. I've had one for 3 years. I also own a RocketV, which I like, but the Silverado is better. My only complaint, the nose is a little too long, it'll sometimes catch on my shorts. Very rarely happens though, not enough to look for another saddle.

Pros: Light, slender, and stiff without being unforgiving. Would be comfortable if used as an all day road saddle as well.

Cons: No complaints. Have only been using it for about 3 months so I will post an update later if anything is found.

Recommendation: Great XC saddle. Almost exactly the same width and length as the WTB Rocket V without the extra padding and whale tail.
