>>1899210Yes, that is the way you would using it on a trekking bike, flat bars, back at 60-70°. The more aggressive stance a drop bar needs where you go 45°or less down close to horizontal makes the B17 and its variants dig into your parts and limit you while you are pushed out of your position. The B17 is also too wide for that kind of riding.
Switching back to the POS Selle Royal my gravel bike came with made me realize why bikes with drop bars use narrower saddles, measured up my bum bones and got my Aspide, been satisfied with it ever since, picrel
Had a similar one to yours on my older fitness bike (flat bar road bike on fucked up BSO frame) from Selle Italia, S5 Superflow IIRC, turned out all that gel padding made a very uncomfortable ride plus in cold weather it froze my ass off. Avoid anything with any amount of gel padding, regular dense foam padding is much better.
