This is a great saddle for the price, especially if you need a bit more width vs. the stock saddles offered on many bikes - the more common 140-150mm options just don't cut it for me. I have used it with my Specialized Sirrus X for commuting, on-pavement workouts, and substantial gravel riding - it's even traveled to Spain and back on my bike where it survived and thrived through 8 months of some REALLY rough gravel. It is a very comfortable saddle (my sitbones measured about 165mm and I originally tried the wider moderate riding position version, which caused me discomfort). The center channel does help with comfort on those extended rides, but probably not as much as a proper center cutout would. I've rode up to 35+ miles of gravel at a time and 40 miles paved without padded shorts on this thing and am happy with how it's treated me; at those distances I do face some discomfort, but that's probably expected since my rides ordinarily range from a couple miles' commute to a 20 mile workout. In the couple years I've owned it, I've never felt that it was too grippy nor slippery. Also, the reflective portion at the tail of the seat is not as bright as a typical retroreflective material and has worn off some from being partly sat on, but it's a nice touch nonetheless. Long story short, it's a versatile, comfortable saddle (if your sitbone measurement is reasonably close in width) that's proven to be durable - all at a very reasonable price to boot.
