riding the above saddle on my road bike and want to get one for my mtb, just not sure if it can take the punishment??

anyone else riding one on their H.T.???

I had one on my Hardtail,and my ass could not take the punishment.

i ride the TI version of the slr on my HT i have not had any issues although i would be very skeptical about the carbon rails if you were thinking of going that way

[Goose1]

the rails were also my concern, its just that i've got one doing nothing in my cupboard. the selle website does say that the saddle can be used off road???? just got a gobi and dont like it at t all???

I know alot of guys who ride Carbonos off road, just make sure that you don't sit down on large drops. The best post to use with carbon railed saddles are units like the EC 90 and 70's. KCNC, Tune and other such seatposts use the yoke clamping design. This puts extra strain on the carbon rails and can cause them to fail.

Thats why I'm selling my 2 SLR's, a Gobi is a lot gentler...
