Suggestions for a mountain bike saddle?

[SadieKate]

This is what I was thinking. There's definitely things to take into consideration that are different than the road! The WTB saddles look fairly pear shaped though, and I needed a very T-shaped saddle for my road bike. Oh to have a demo program...the Devo looks maybe ok.

On my road bikes, I ride the most T-shaped saddle ever and which is sadly no longer made, the Avocet Air 02. I can't imagine that even in Florida you'll have your butt planted on a mtb saddle like you would a road bike saddle. You need to be able to move around on it a lot and move behind it. No way, no how, could I do that on the Avocet. Nor would I want to sit on the nose of the Avocet the way I need to on a mtb saddle. I realize our terrain is different, but I'm sure it isn't just civilized smooth flat dirt roads either.

Absolutely. The trails here are quite technical to make up for the lack of well, mountains. I'll also be taking the mountain bike to Colorado on vacation for lovely singletrack The thought of sitting on the nose of the Turbomatic makes me a little scared.
