Ritchey WCS Marathon Saddle

[hovdeboj]

Anyone have any time on one of these.

I'm currently on a rocket V Race which i like but my sit-bones just barely fit for width (on rough sections one side or the other bounces off the side).

I like the width of the WTB DEVO at 140 mm but not the length.

Ritchey generally gives the best bang for the buck in other components I've tried and the WCS Streem Saddle gets good reviews but there is nothing on the newer Marathon. Size wise I thin it should be bang on @ 275 mm x 140 mm.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

You can be the first reviewer!

Dang, its 2012 y'all and still not many reviews. Interested myself - and the only place I see them is Ebay.

Ask if your local Authorized Ritchey Dealer has our Demo Saddle Program in store. Then you can try one out yourself and see if you like it before you buy. This is a new program for 2012 and not all shops have them yet, so tell them to give us a call if they don't.

Ritchey Dave,
Which has more padding and how does size compare between these two saddles?
Thanks.

The Marathon saddle has essentially the same inner structure as the Streem but with more padding. They are both 130mm wide. If you want something wider I suggest the Contrail. It's middle of the road padding with a slight contour and 138mm width. It utilizes the same Vector Wind Technology as both the Marathon and Streem which has a lot to do with what people like about our saddles.
