2009 Ritchey WCS Marathon V2 Saddle White

Hammer — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 20:49:13 +0000

WCS Marathon Saddle uses the same low profile design and narrow shell as the more well known Streem, but with a few subtle differences. The Ritchey WCS Marathon offers a little more padding to make the ride more comfortable to most riders, which also allows it to be used on mountain bikes as well. The Ritchey WCS Marathon features a 35% carbon injected shell for stiffness and light weight and CrN/Ti alloy rails, a genuine perforated leather with Arymid abrasion resistant sides finish out the package.

The Ritchey WCS Marathon is not a saddle designed for weight weenies, the extra padding and materials add comfort but they also add a little bit of weight. Don't get me wrong, this is by no means a big sloppy heavy saddle of any kind, it's actually a GREAT choice for the average enthusiast and most users report a high level of satisfaction with this saddle so by all means, if you like the looks of it then give the Ritchey WCS Marathon a look.

We have not been able to test run or ride a Ritchey Comp Streem at the time of this publishing but the readers who do have some exposure to it should be able to provide input. We will be acquiring a Ritchey Comp Streem in the near future so we can give it a test run of our own and provide a better review.
