The saddle is labelled here at Galaxus as a saddle for "mountain bikes", but that is only half the truth. According to SQLab, this is a saddle for "MTB/road racing".
I ride this saddle on road and gravel bikes and am very happy with it. The difference to saddles from other manufacturers is particularly noticeable on long tours, where you ride for hours without a break and nothing falls asleep, nothing pinches.
But you also notice the huge difference on short rides.
Above all, the two-stage elevations towards the rear provide wonderful support and ensure that you can crank much more powerfully than with rather flat saddles.

I love the design of this saddle, which has allowed me to ride for very long periods at a time without any loss of sensation of other discomfort. It would be a 5-star review, but I found the easily-chipped rail finish disappointing, making this look prematurely old after adjusting position. (The same seat clamp produced no such effect on the rails of two other saddles, so it's not the clamp's fault.)
