Product Description

Designed through testing and feedback from Rebecca Rusch, we set out to make the ultimate saddle to suit her endless rides. All-day comfort is achieved through a generously open channel that divides supportive outer zones to alleviate pressure on sensitive bits. Its short nose provides seamless on-off transitions while a slightly swooped shape provides an adequate tail to brace against. The Koda boasts a shape that everyone can enjoy, making it female-focused without being women’s specific.

Usage: Cross Country - Trail - Enduro - Bikepacking

Contoured Profile

Contoured shape cradles the pelvis to provide optimal support in one sitting position. Contoured saddles are best for riders who prefer to lock into a specific sitting position while pedaling.

Love Channel

Protects your sensitive bits from unwanted pressure and numbness. The central depression provides soft-tissue relief without sacrificing the structural integrity of the saddle.

Flat Nose

Allows riders to perch on the nose to output more power during hard efforts. Flat nose saddles are commonly preferred by riders who live in areas with exceptionally steep climbs.

Medium Padding

This middle level of padding provides an exceptional balance of comfort and support to provide optimal performance without being too squishy. Medium padding saddles are often the top choice for all-day riders.

Flex-Tuned Base

The Flex-Tuned base provides an exceptional mix of comfortable flex and firm efficiency. Not as supple as the Soft-Shell and not as stiff as a carbon-composite base, Flex-Tuned saddles offer mid-level flex to provide optimal support and comfort for the majority of riders.

Microfiber Cover

Found on all WTB saddles, our Microfiber Cover closely replicates the look and feel of a leather cover, but with the anti-microbial and cruelty-free benefits of a synthetic material. The supple nature of the Microfiber Cover allows the foam to fully support the sit bones without interfering with its resiliency.

IS THINNER OR THICKER PADDING BETTER FOR ME?

Thinner padding tends to be preferred by riders with good flexibility who are leaned forward while pedaling for rides longer than two hours. Thicker padding is often better for riders who sit in a more upright position and find themselves on rides that usually involve less than two hours of riding.

Thicker padding allows a rider's sit bones to sink into the saddle for a more cradled feel that feels plush and maximizes comfort for short durations of time. However, this same support can also pinch the soft tissues around your sit bones after a bit of time and end up causing more discomfort on lengthy rides. Saddles with thinner padding provide less cushion, are therefore firmer, and allow the sit bones to sit perched atop the saddle rather than cradled within it. While thinner padding may seem less comfortable at first, it often proves more comfortable for rides longer than two hours.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FUSION FORM AND TRADITIONAL?

WHAT IS THE MAX RIDER WEIGHT FOR WTB SADDLES?

Our saddles don't have a specific weight limit. The reason being that rider weight is not what limits a saddle's strength. It's the amount of force that a rider (or the ground during a crash) exerts on the saddle that determines whether it will be damaged. It's hard to put a max rider weight limit on a saddle when a 350-pound rider may not encounter any saddle strength issues while a 120-pound rider may accidentally come down too hard on the saddle and damage it. The amount of force is a bigger factor, as well as where the force is directed on the saddle. Instead, we rely on ISO testing standards to ensure our saddles are strong enough to withstand the forces exerted in most riding situations within the intended usage. All WTB saddles meet or exceed the ISO saddle standard, which is 400 kN in a downward direction on the tail of the saddle.

WHICH SADDLE MATERIAL IS THE STRONGEST? WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT RIDE CHARACTERISTICS?

Heavier riders will exert more force on their saddle compared to a lighter rider if the rider is traveling at the same rate of speed during the point of contact. Cromoly and steel saddle rails tend to be more resilient and provide increased sheer strength over titanium or carbon rails, therefore heavier riders may find more peace of mind on a saddle with cromoly or steel rails.

All properly manufactured saddle rails should be able to handle the weight of riders well over 100kg, but how those materials fail when stressed to their limits would be my biggest consideration when suggesting a saddle that will be used by a heavier rider. Steel tends to bend, whereas titanium tends to shear and carbon tends to crack/snap. Heavier riders will likely find the most peace of mind on a saddle with steel or cromoly steel (lighter weight, yet still strong) rails.

Unsuitable for longer rides (>30 miles).

My wife found the KODA Chromoloy saddle very comfortable, but only for the first 30 miles. After that it became progressively more uncomfortable, believed due to the soft padding. Based on DEVA experience, I then bought a KODA steel but was surprised to find this has even softer padding.

Padding on both KODA versions is specified as being similar/identical to DEVA. In fact, the padding is very different. Both DEVAs (Chromoly and steel) are much firmer and vastly superior. Also, DEVA Steel feels FIRMER than the Chromoly, whereas KODA steel is SOFTER. These inconsistencies make saddle selection very difficult.

Sadly, KODA seems to be the only female specific saddle in the WTB range. It's heading in the right direction but the padding needs further development. Time to catch up, guys!

PS My Volt Race saddle from 2016 (= Volt Chromoly?) is superb. It feels a tad hard for the first 5 miles, after which I don't notice it at all - even up to my 124 miles daily record! Padding feels identical to DEVA Chromoly.
Keep up the good work!

Comfy but fragile (or bad luck).

Very comfortable saddle. I have narrow sit bones but the medium is still comfy.

The reason for the 3* and not 5 is that my titanium railed version strapped right at the 3 year mark. I have other WTB saddles that have been going for over a decade so this one failing fairly quickly is disappointing.
