The F-Style saddle has long been considered the standard for dirt jumping railed saddles. It utilizes an oversized 8mm solid CrMo rail for superior strength.

Bike Setup:
Norco Shore for downhill and Oryx Equipe 175 for x-country.
Bottom Line:
Rode a friend's bike with this saddle on it...liked it so I switched my FUNN saddle on my Norco Shore with the SDG and it held up to everything. Able to do big drops, get back over the saddle with no problem, and it is comfortable (no numbness). In fact, it is so comfortable I bought another one for my x-country bike, which I formerly had a Terry Liberator on it for comfort. Although the Terry saddle was comfy it really is no comparision to the SDG. I recommend. Bought for $50 CAD. Seems a bit pricey but I spent more on the Terry.
