ok, I know they are v-personal n'all that... but what bum perch do you recommend for long days in the saddle.

currently use GOBi XM - but find it's not great after 3hrs or more.. (numbness settles in). so looking for something else.
I use Arione & Brooks Swallow on the road bikes, and realise that I like long flat saddles best.

so what long flat MTB saddle do you like?
anyone recommend the Tundra, or a good Prologo saddle?
or what else should I look at?

Try a Spoon, lots of people like them @ £24 for the basic one, it's not a disaster if it doesn't work out for you

If you like the saddles that you have on the road bikes, put one of them on the mtb as well.

thanks, but those aren't really long flat style saddles... in fact it's very similar shape to the Gobi I;ve been using... i.e. swoopy and rounded...
loads of people love the Gobi and the spoon, but not me.

tried that, but Arione doesn't work off road... to pointy a nose (hooks up on shorts) and far to pointy back end that really smarts 😳

Maybe Charge Knife, it's more flat than the Spoon, if not then try visit your local Specialized shop as they have a machine that measure the shape of your bum and give you the correct saddle suite you best.

all the selle italia ones are pretty flat. I might be going for a flite gel flow myself one of these days.
