Tharsis 9.8 Saddle

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I ran the Tharsis 9.8 Saddle through a full enduro season and the Shox technology made a genuine difference on consecutive days of chunky descending. The microfiber cover has held up without any cracking or peeling despite some real abuse, and the Kevlar reinforcements at the nose have survived more than a few tip-over incidents."

Enduro and all-mountain riding puts a saddle through more punishment than almost any other discipline. Repeated impacts, repeated dismounts, and hours of climbing between descents demand a saddle that can absorb the trail without breaking down or breaking the rider. The PRO Tharsis 9.8 Saddle is built for exactly that context, pairing impact absorption technology with durable materials that hold up across full days and full seasons of aggressive riding.

The Shox Technology layer sits beneath the EVA padding and works to dampen trail vibration and impact energy before it reaches the rider, reducing fatigue over long days without softening the saddle to the point of instability. The carbon reinforced nylon base keeps the platform stiff and consistent under load, while Kevlar reinforcements at the nose and tail protect the highest-wear contact points against the scrapes, drops, and pressure that enduro riding reliably delivers. The microfiber cover and SUS316-Ti stainless steel rails complete a saddle built to last.
