Saddle okay, but ...

-> Comfort (on long trips), optics (athletic / slim), weight (not too heavy), off-road capability (departures / terrain).

Ultimately, I had hoped for a better seating comfort on long trips without destroying the look of my sporting MTB's with a rich touring saddle.

Conclusion: The XLC saddle is well made, looks athletic from his weight is acceptable and there is even an integrated rain cover. All in all you have a pretty good value for money in this saddle.
However, on long trips (from 2 hours) you get ordinary pain and is very unpleasant. For my application range of the saddle is therefore not recommended. I can this Saddle Laying each his heart, which is a lot about in the city and from time to time runs into the area or planning shorter trips.

For my needs, and for the envisaged purpose of me, I can clearly make a recommendation for the following saddle:

Fizik Gobi XM (sporty, comfortable, weight okay, stable)
