Our slimmest and firmest saddle
Mood DT
The Mood DT remains our firmest saddle for 2020, but with a few mm's of extra padding it's a touch more forgiving than the previous version.
The low profile Mood DT (Durable Top) is for riders who see a lot of wet weather or for DH and Freeride applications where extra durability is needed.
The narrow platform design has chromo rails for extra strength while still being very light weight. It features a firm sitting platform with a gentle scoop at the rear, and a roll-away nose for climbing control. A narrow overall shape offers clearance for long distance seated pedalling. The smooth perimeter is easy to move around and has a round edge to set a knee against for stability.
Our lightest and most firm saddle.

Saddle FAQ's

Leather saddles can be treated with surface conditioners. Check with your local hardware store, shoe maker or leather specialist for available products. Note that different conditioners can have different effects on the leather (IE. softening or discoloration). The user takes all responsibility for the results of any treatments applied to the saddle.
It’s important to know that the cover of a saddle is made of soft material and by that nature, it will start changing from the day you start using it.
Leather saddles are likely to go through more change than DT saddles.
You can read the full user guide here, but to avoid any kind of creaking, make sure the rails and the seatpost clamp are spotlessly clean!
If something is creaking, remove the saddle from the post and make sure the rails and clamps are clean. You'd be amazing what a bit of dirt can do.
As for the finish, any DT saddles don't really need any aftercare. However it's not a bad idea to treat any leather saddle with some high quality leather treatment from time to time (like you might use for leather gloves for example).
