Key information about the Bates Victrix Saddle:

Adjust Ergonomic Stirrup Bar and adjust the position of the Flexiblocs at the front and rear of their saddles to perfectly support their position.

Much attention has been paid to the closeness of the Bates Victrix. To enhance the close-contact feel, we recommend Bates Stirrup Leathers with Luxe Leather which feature a riveted buckle which is designed to remove one thickness of leather from under the riders leg.

Luxe Leather is unique. Luxe Leather is the finest calf leather in the world and should be cared for with regular applications of a rich wax-based balsam such as Bates Leather Balsam. Applying a protective layer of balsam prior to exposure to rain/water will ensure water beads off the surface and prevent premature wear.

Prior to riding in the saddle, it is highly recommended that the rider liberally dresses the saddle allowing it to soak in overnight. The overnight process ensures maximum penetration into the leather, helping to seal in the moisture and protect the saddle providing a surface barrier, protecting against wear and color loss. Any of the following are signs your saddle needs greater hydration - (overnight process) color loss, rough surface, or stiffness/dryness. All of these can be reversed with appropriate care when picked up early.
