I have one on my MTB, and actually paid Brooks for it! The feel isn't as good as the Brooks leather ones that I have on two other bikes. The material does "give", and as such performs its duty as part of a sling type saddle, but just not as much as leather in my view. I had to fine tune the saddle position to ensure that it was under the sit bones. Wouldn't say that it was worth the price, but from its construction I expect it to hold up well on the MTB. -Stewart
