Saddle mounts

[flat-pack]

I have been using a Pro Hub X2 saddle for about a year and was very pleased with it, until it snapped in two luckily without me being on it...........

Anyway bought another 'normal' saddle and could not believe how uncomfortable it was, mainly the angle it was mounted at, seemed to be much too high at the front, swapped back to the X2 plus some double sided tape to hold the busted half of the saddle in position

ANYWAY my question is are there different configurations of angles between saddle top and mounting rails beneath ?

My suspension seat post has a fixed bracket at the top that clamps around the mount rails so no adjustment to saddle angle is possible, should this be a consideration when buying another saddle ?

I hope I have made sense there...................

Uhm,
you should be able to alter the saddle angle by adjusting the angle of the seat rail clamp , on one bolt systems you move the clamp on a grooved curve and 2 bolt systems you alter bolt tension for and aft to get it right .
Unless thats not what you mean ?

That X2 looks like an item of torture. How the heck that fits between your legs.

Thanks, after checking out the video I found I did have the adjustment 'segments/grooves' just that they were not visible from the side

I know it looks weird, but you perch on the front half only and each half moves independantly with your legs, takes getting used to but very comfortable after a few rides, best suited to an upright sit style however.
