The 611 Ergowave® CrMo complements the Ergowave® success series and impresses with its very good value for money. The new 611 Ergowave® CrMo is offered with CrMo struts and without the well-known SQlab active technology. The convincing ERGOWAVE® shape and the raised rear ensure the perfect grip to the back and optimal pressure distribution down to the deep structures of the body, which significantly improves the power transmission to the pedal. The pressure relief, especially for longer ascents in the terrain, the saddle nose was used in the 611 compared to the 612 approx. 4 mm wide, but just as flat and designed with the largest possible contact surface. The padding material has been specially adapted to the requirements of the MTB and has more cushioning in rough terrain compared to the 612 Ergowave® models. The flex properties of the saddle are designed for optimal comfort up to 75 kg. The maximum load should not exceed 90 kg.

OutdoorGearLab

SQlab takes a very scientific approach to the design of their saddles and the 611 Ergowave Active features the most thoughtful ergonomic design we've ever seen. It provides a high degree of comfort that starts with a proper fit, and SQlab will even send you a fit kit to measure your sit bones, so you get the correct width. To accommodate most riders, it comes in 4 sizes. The saddle has a unique stepped tip-to-tail profile with a high tail that positions the rider right in the sweet spot for proper weight distribution on the sit bones. It also has a generous channel in the center for relief on the perineal area and an extra-wide and flat nose that feels great when you need to get your weight forward on steep climbs. It has a stiff shell and minimal padding, plus it features their Active technology that allows for a small degree of side to side rocking of the tail that is intended to match the body's biomechanics when pedaling. It also seems highly durable with the Ti-Alloy rails molded into the bottom of the shell, and a kevlar reinforced tail to protect it during crashes.
The 611 Ergowave Active tips the scales at 252g with an included elastomer and 226g without, so it isn't especially lightweight compared to some of the models in this test. It's also one of the most expensive models we've tested, though this saddle may be worth its weight in gold if it can effectively solve saddle-related pain or discomfort for some riders. We were very impressed with the design, comfort, and performance of this saddle.

 It has a similar "active "technology and the correct width for my sit bones. Seats are very personal for everyone and this one works for me.

After buying 3 seats for my fat tire Ebike, I decided to spend a little more and get this seat. I have the $200 SQlab seat on my mountain bike and have been very happy with it so I went for the less expensive one the Ebike. It has a similar "active "technology and the correct width for my sit bones. Seats are very personal for everyone and this one works for me

Worked well for me

A bike fitter introduced me to SQ Labs saddles, and the need for the right size. This saddle is better than any other I have tried in all my years on the bike. I would recommend one, in the right size, to anyone.

Right fit

I like this seat vey much. Advantage over other similar products is its clear line and simplicity. Very ergonomic and well performing seat.

Very high quality seat.

The Volt is our most popular mountain saddle. Shaped for speed and comfort, time tested and proven, the Volt makes for an incredibly versatile saddle that has gained endless acclaim among riders.

The WTB Volt Chromoly has been a staple in WTB's saddle range for many years. It isn't the least expensive model we tested, but this reasonably priced competitor is an incredible value considering the level of comfort and performance it delivers. Not only is the Volt Chromoly a good value, but it's also very comfortable, with a classic design that has stood the test of time. A slightly cradled shape that rises gently toward the tail provides a comfortable and supportive platform, with medium density padding and shallow anatomical groove and "Comfort Zone" cutout in the shell to reduce pressure in the center. At 239g for the 135mm width we tested, the Volt Race is also lightweight considering the price. Testers found this saddle to offer exceptional versatility, with applications ranging from all disciplines of mountain biking to road riding. 
The Volt is offered in three sizes, 135mm &#40;tested&#41;, 142mm, and 150mm, to accommodate a range of sit bone widths. We were very impressed with the price to comfort and performance ratio the Volt Chromoly has to offer, and we think you'd be hard-pressed to find a better value in a mountain bike saddle.

MTB Telly

 Of course, saddles are very subjective, it's going to vary from person to person but I still highly recommend for you to try the WTB Volt saddle if you're in a market for a new one. The next thing I want to briefly touch on is general wear and tear. I have no complaints, the build quality of the Volt is superb, everything holds up really well. On some occasions I rode on it in rainy conditions and had no issues

 I have no crotch numbness when climbing like with my previous Brooks B17 which was one of the main reasons I sold it for the WTB Volt. And honestly I'm pretty certain that my search for the perfect saddle is over. It's really the most comfortable saddle I've ever owned. At the same time though I haven't really tried that many saddles, I've had the Specialized Power and the Brooks B17 and from my experience the WTB Volt is far superior than these two in terms of comfort

 With that being said, let's talk about comfort. The WTB Volt saddle is the most comfortable saddle I've ever owned. I'm not saying that after using this saddle for a couple of days, I've been using it for over a year with about 7000 km of actually riding it. It gives me barely any pain, of course on long rides there is some pain but that's going to be the case with any saddle in my opinion

 I weigh around 74-75 kg, I'm doing lots of climbing which puts a lot of pressure on my butt. On some days I can ride for 7-8 hours, I use well padded bib shorts and sometimes I also apply camoil cream on very long rides. With that being said, let's talk about comfort. The WTB Volt saddle is the most comfortable saddle I've ever owned

WTB VOLT after 7000km

 So radius was like right up in your coit It was always pushing up on my anus and I wasn't into that So I tried the Fabric Shallow. I put that, I actually got that from Whippets Workshop They've got a couple of the Fabric Saddles in for demo So you can take it take it for a day or a couple of days and and see what you think of it And that was really good this Fabric Scoop Shallow was really really good I thought that's probably the one I'm going to go for. It was tossing up between that and this WTB vault and Ended up going the WTB vault 142mm Medium cushioning and I've done a couple of rides on it. Today

 It's not overly long like the saddle itself isn't very long So it doesn't get in the way. It's actually a little bit shorter than there than the anvil forge that I had So it doesn't poke into my shorts at all. It just feels really really good, so the profile is excellent And look at it from the back It's just really good and the cushioning itself So if I can give you a little bit of a squeeze demo look at that Nice and soft all the way around so that's where I usually get the pressure Just there on that hammy or the adductor muscles, and it's just soft. It's soft It's gooey all the way through and doesn't feel like there's any pressure points at all so big thumbs up WTB vault I've ridden the Silverado didn't like it ridden the rocket I think the rocket the size of the rocket that I rode was a little bit small the WTB But this vault at 142mm

WTB Volt Saddle Thoughts

 I’ve ridden on rides as long as 2+ hours, on double, single & downhill.  Overall I’m very happy w/the WTB Volt. As long as it holds up, I’d have no issues w/spending more on one of the more expensive saddles made w/the lighter rails (cromoly or titanium, prob not carbon for $200+).  Thank you for taking the time to read my review, I hope you found it helpful

I’ve now had a little over a month to ride w/the WTB Volt Narrow Steel Black Saddle (W065-0584). I decided to upgrade my 12 year old stock Bontrager saddle. I decided to go w/the steel because of price & have never purchased or ride w/any WTB saddle. I went to the WTB website & used there tool to enter my physical information to determine which size saddle best fit me

My first impression when I received the saddle was that it looked great & well made. The all black microfiber cover looks sharp, especially w/the subtle imposed logo

Saddle Up & Ride!

 The Volt with metal rails is a good value, since at this writing the lighter rail options have marginal reductions in weight.  Comfort depends a great deal on how your hip bones are shaped and how long you'll be in the saddle. All I can suggest is what I did: buy the cheap one and try it out. If you think you might be sending it back, put one wrap of plastic tape around where you'll attach it to the clamp, and cover the seat temporarily with a plastic bag

 It's more narrow than the WTB web site tool recommended. It is a little different from the Rocket -- thinner, with more modern styling.

Relatively comfortable

I went on the WTB web site for sizing assistance. They have you measure your wrist to determine seat width. I have been riding a 148mm wide seat since 1993. WTB recommended 155mm for me

Should have bought this 20 years ago!

 They were advertised as CARBON and on sale. I would like to return the saddle. This saddle weighs a lot more than a real carbon saddle

This is NOT carbon!!!  This has steel rails.  Not as advertised
