Interesting re. 120mm sit bones. You were on a 13cm 611 and 60X? I wonder if those saddle are just too flat for you? Just thinking of the shape of the Pure.
Did you ever try a Fizik Gobi? Or Selle Italia SLR? I always think of them as sort of the opposite in being more rounded. What about Brooks?
My custom hardtail has an actual seat angle of 73.5d. I’m happy on the 611 on that bike, though for mountain biking I prefer a shorter nose - Koda or Sagma.
The bikes I was riding this 60X on have STA effective numbers in the 77-78 range. For comparison I run my Sagma also all the way slammed back to get a pedaling position I’m okay with and on the same bikes I had the 60X centered.
The 60X Infinergy, as noted, really, really didn’t work for me on my own bike but it worked well with a truly steep setup. It’s merely four for thought though as saddles are so personal.
