WTB Hightail Carbon

Jury Verdict

The Hightail Carbon saddle is the latest creation from WTB. The light but exceptionally robust saddle has been optimised for the best possible wheel clearance. This allows manufacturers to make compact rear frames, twinned with using bigger wheels and long-travel suspension. WTB proves it has a good feeling for the future because the upcoming ‘Plus’ wheel sizes will make tyre clearance a big issue. In order to achieve this, the Hightail saddle is much shorter at the rear end than all current models. Thanks to the well-designed form you won’t notice this when riding, but you will appreciate the increased room to maneuver on the descents.
