First Ride on my Grizl CF 7 ESC

After mourning the theft of my first ever gravel bike a few months ago after only having it for a year, I did some research and settled on this beauty. Bought it from the outlet to save about $300 and couldn't find a thing wrong with it out of the box. Was a little nervous to self assemble (even though it was 90% put together) as I'm still new to bikes but it was super straight forward. Had a great first ride and everything was smooth.

My only complaint is the saddle is not the most comfortable (Selle Royal SRX). Any suggestions on a good replacement? I'm not doing anything extreme. My average rides are between 30-50 miles on mostly 70% bike path, 30% gravel roads. Thanks!

No crazy off-roading or anything, more of an appreciation post to say how comfortable the drive was. I know a lot of people say it gets uncomfortable after extended periods of driving, but at 5'11, I was enjoying the ride the entire time. Also, here's a picture of the extremely friendly marmot that was trying to get snacks off me and my girlfriend.
