    So, what saddles do folks like on their mtbs?

    I finally have the spare cash to replace the not-so-lovely Bontrager Select that came on my mtb. I'll be taking my bike in for a service next week (have hardly ridden recently, but it'd be silly not to take advantage of a freebie) and figured that I would pick up a new saddle when I was there. I know that saddle choice is all very individual and what everyone else likes won't necessarily work for me, yada yada yada, but I figure just about anything will be kinder to me than what I've got. A lot of the talk of saddles seems to be about what's on people's road bikes; I'm curious about what people are sitting on off-road.

    I really like the Fizik Vitesse and rode it for many years on my MTB before switching it to my road bike, and putting a Selle Flite Gel or something on the MTB, which I don't like nearly as much, but the mango color matches nicely!

    The WTB Laser V Stealth. I like the drop nose for getting on the saddle without chamois suck. The drop nose is also more comfy for steep climbs when you have sit way up there in a very unnatural position. It's been good for both singletrack when I'm moving around a lot but also 50 mile dirt road endurance rides. Narrow enough to get all the way off the back and wide enough to sit on for extended periods.

    My first MTB came with a WTB saddle, which I liked a lot.

    I use the same saddle on both my MTBikes. Love it. My friend bought the Fizik Gobi. I like the design and might try it next time.
