I'm not sure how the Rocket Pro is however I really like my WTB Lazer. I've ordered one for my son's bike also.

everyone has different preferences.. i happen to like the wtb laser more than the rocket.. i recently picked up a WTB Pure saddle and so far its been great

Seriously - saddles are a complete crapshoot. My barcalounger might be your iron maiden.

How true! I recently acquired a 20 year old Road bike, and was immediatly going to swap the saddle but, ended up doing a ride on the old selle san marco it came with and was amazed how good it felt, the best advice to to ride as many different saddles before you buy...

I like both Selle Italia Flite Trans Ams and WTB Rocket Vs. I am riding a SDG Bel Air on my trail bike and like it a lot.

and i thought that the time i tried out the selle italia flite trans ams caused some permanent damage to my girly parts. everyone is different. borrow a bunch of saddles from your friends and see what you liked the best.

I agree with that. I had ridden the Max Trans Am for a bit and started hating it. Julie rides the Trans Am Lady, and loves it.

i have a wtb sattle i dont know exactly what one it is, but i know that is isnt a high end one. I find my butt doesnt really hurt after riding so the sattle is good. If the one you are talking about is reasonably expensive or high end then i cant immagine that it would be more uncomfterble than the one i have.

I've three different bikes with three different saddles for different kinds of riding. On my XC - WTB, Hardtail - SDG, DH - Tioga...
It all really depends on what's comfortble for you...

I've had good luck with WTB saddles. . .but I've got a Fizik Arione (road) saddle on my SS and I absolutely love it. THE has some cool looking new saddles too. . .
