...Saddle - Ergon SM E Mountain Sport
Your bike and saddle looks good, I looked it up, think it's this one:

Is yours the S/M (9-12cm) or M/L (12-16cm) ?

Yes, that's the saddle! I esw the M/L. You can get measured at most bike shops and their are vids on YouTube that show you how to do it at home. Great saddle for emtbs! The rear raised edge does indeed provide additional support when climbing and doesn't get in the way when dropping the saddle when going down.

Thanks man !
Good that yours is also M/L, this gives me a preview how mine will look like.

About the topic: from dream-bike to ass-size, that escalated quickly :)

A little more power, a lot more range and less weight. Moon on a stick until battery tech moves on.
