I’m being told that the WTB Silverado saddle is the one to go for. Tried several saddles and yet to find 1 I gel with.
Looking for anyone’s opinions on this saddle.

I stopped using “Pie-R-Squared” as a formula…it doesn’t work. Trust me on this.I use natures golden ratio of 1.618 , divided by the length of my thigh !
You never know
What I’ve learnt is a saddle might be comfy for a hour but not 2 or 3 so I stand more !
I still use the formula that "pies =a squared arse" ..but can't help myself ..I love them all savoury & fruit ...I stopped using “Pie-R-Squared” as a formula…it doesn’t work. Trust me on this.
I find the med/lrg Ergon Core with the whale tail works the best for me. Was a bit expensive but I use it every time (on both bikes). You can still slide off the back when you need to.
I believe both could be quite good for most people, just gave up after about 3 different WTBs…both brands seem to be top scorers..I beg to differ mate, I've had the Ergon emtb specific saddle and used on a maximum of three rides and ended up selling it as it was like sitting on a brick, WTB Koda has been the dogs dangles as far I'm concerned, but then again no two arses are the same if you get my drift
I can only recommend the seat I use myself and are very satisfied with.I'm fairly new to the ebike game, but have an enduro rise I've beefed up and I love it. I find myself pedaling while seated through much choppier terrain and thus, having symptoms of sore ass more so than I might from my regular riding days.
I've run a WTB Volt, Fizik Terra Alpaca and they're good but wondering if anyone has had success with anything different for an ebike given the pace you pedal uphill through bumpy terrain. Is it best to just have a good chamois?
Recommending saddles for others is "almost" a waste of time. As riders we are so different in feel, ergonomics, physiology, etc. as to have too many variables. One thing I've noticed on many maybe most of the saddles that come through the shop is there appears to be a more consistent shape to these MTB saddles. That SDG saddle pictured just above seems to the more consistent shape of many/most of the popular models.I have used a couple of iterations of this WTB saddle for about 25 years. Before that I used to use a flite Ti saddle until I read a review of the WTB saddle. Tried a few others, but for me the WTB is the benchmark for comfort.
Same. I’ve tried a few other types but now this is my go-to saddle. It took a few rides to get use to the slight whale-tail design but everything seemed to be happy now. . But some of us might need to experiment with different sizes or shapes.I can only recommend the seat I use myself and are very satisfied with.
