Wove V8 Saddle Review

Been looking at investing in one of these saddles for a while. I have struggled to find a comfortable saddle that I can use without getting a sore posterior. I have been through a few without finding what I was looking for. Even trying personally scanned 3D Printed saddle without huge success. So, I decided to pull the plug on the Wove V8 Saddle from Sported.ae with the twin outback bottle holder. (You can mount just one bottle straight onto the back of the saddle).

The first thing that strikes you is how light the saddle is, I know it’s not our first consideration in triathlon. But it is impressive. The saddle needed adjusting slightly differently to my old saddle. But as soon as I took it out for its first ride, I could feel the comfort, it is as comfortable sat further back on an easy ride or sat on the nose really pushing the power.

In its first month of use it has done about 800kms including a 70.3 and I am really impressed.
