Woves Nick Lehecka taught us a hands-on lesson in all things Wove.
After laying hands on them and listening to the custom tuneable grip and padding options , I was eager to check one out. For those unfamiliar, Wove is a high-end performance bicycle saddle company. They offer handmade lightweight carbon saddles manufactured in the USA. The saddles are performance-focused, aimed at comfort, speed, and neck-snapping looks. Wove is focused on rider comfort in any position, at any speed — because comfortable is fast.
The Wove Mags is available in two different cover materials; grippy and Standard, with a light tack but better for slight movement. The Wove V8 is the first Wove saddle that caught our eye and is still on my “must try” list. The V8 is the TT and Tri-focused Wove saddle; it comes in around 140g with a slight box-ish shape. Wove prides itself on the shape of the V8 and claims it exhibits no soft tissue pressure and no thigh rubbing when riding out on the nose of the saddle.
Wove made the cover material on the V8 grippy to hold the rider in place while in the aero bars. The padding is similar to the Mag but has slightly more depth in the nose of the saddle. Just enough padding to sink in and hit your numbers.The Wove V8 measures 30cm long, making it UCI-legal. It also has a rear-facing water bottle attachment, perfect for TTs and training rides while keeping aero.
The V8 has the hardware to mount a water bottle cage and a retention loop to keep bottles of any diameter and volume/size secure over even the roughest roads.Wove has a demo program allows a free 2-week trial of their saddles. There’s a waitlist for their demo saddles rotating throughout the US, Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia.
