Ritchey Classic Saddle - Brown

Saddle brings modern comfort and materials to a timeless shape and look. Beneath the rich, leather-like synthetic leather cover, there’s just the right amount of advanced, pressure-diffusing lightweight foam, and the shape is a proven performer based on the original Ritchey Vector saddle.

Completely redesigned for 2020, the classic saddle has a Vector Wing technology that helps eliminate hot spots by dissipating pressure more evenly

Tom Ritchey is the president and lead designer of our company, now distributed in over 40 countries. Tom designed some of the burgeoning mountain bike industry’s first frames and components back in the 1970’s. Every year Tom guides our R&D efforts in pursuit of both subtle improvements to existing products, or large-scale advances leading to new ones.

Starting with fatigue cycle testing, we strive for at least 2x the standard laid out by CEN (the European Committee which determines minimum safety standards for bicycles and components sold in Europe).

This outside authentication keeps us honest and ensures product releases meet the highest standards. Once a product clears machine testing, prototype samples endure rigorous use by both amateur and professional riders alike, including our sponsored athletes around the world.
