The Thar is a highly versatile saddle intended for use in XC, marathon, all-mountain & DH. VS saddles feature a 7mm channel design that allows for greater pressure relief, whilst maintaining the stiffness & durability of a solid-base saddle. In the context of more & more 29er bikes, fi’zi:k worked with its sponsored professional MTB teams to better understand riders’ needs. The riders’ wish lists included a longer saddle rail for more adjustment, & the ability to move the position of the rider forward on the bike in order to deliver better power transfer. The Thar 29er saddle delivers just this, alleviating any issues associated with not being able to get your saddle far enough forward on a 29er.
