Hi got a SLR Gel flow on my road bike, can anyone tell me any reason why it cant be used on a mountain bike, thing that gets my confused is that it appears that Selle Italia do the SLR and the FLITE in a XC (mountain bike) version, anyone know wha the difference is ?

I use SLR on all my road bikes – which is a pretty minimal saddle 135g or 125g for the Carbonio(?) version.

Some people swear by these on MTBs as well. I had the SLR XC on an MTB and never got on with it, but then again I have never tried an SLR on my MTBs.

To me the SLR XC was neither one thing nor another, didn't seem to provide any cushioning nor really seem to offer any support/hold you in the right places. I felt as if I was just always slipping off it

Not sure if that helps or not!
