Our OG trail saddle
Trailmaster
The original trail tool, the versatile and venerable Trailmaster features a medium size platform and a rounded uninterrupted perimeter that is easy to get behind and move around without any snaggy or sharp edges.
Medium-firm density foam with a padded nose is excellent for technical climbing as well as all day epics. A flat sitting area with a central relief promotes sitting on your bones.
The Trailmaster features a supple perforated natural leather top and Chromoly rails for durability.

key features
Not all saddles are created equal.
Keep an eye out for limited edition versions of our saddles. From time to time we do special small runs, with fancy graphics and different finishes and materials.
Our DT (Durable Top) is a synthetic covering for riders who see a lot of wet weather or for DH and Freeride applications where extra durability is needed.
We use cr-mo (Chromoly Steel) rails on all of our saddles for tried and tested strength and durability.
Saddle FAQ's
For "trail" riding, a good rule of thumb is level with the ground on a flat surface. In other words, horizontal.
Tipping the nose down can aid in comfort on steep climbs, however DJ and DH riders tend to lift the nose above the horizontal, for extra leg control.
Yes! We have a demo fleet of saddles available at Chromag HQ in Whistler.
In short, yes.
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).
