Havent rode bike about 5years, always rode fixed gear bikes… decided to but my first MTB and stop my lazyness! And spend some good time with my wife and ride sometimes a bicycle! But today i got my bicycle… grand canyon 5, and jesus! Why saddle is so bad? Cant even ride 5-10 minutes…

Well, the saddle just isn’t a good fit for your body then.
As a quick fix, if you still have any of your old bikes and feel comfortable on them, use their saddle. Obviously, it won’t be perfect too but at least you’ll be able to ride the bike.
Saddle is bad because it’s cheap. First thing I did was scrap the saddle and pedals. Seat was way too long.
Swapped to an Ergon SMC sport gel and never looked back. 20 miles without bib shorts no problem.
It’s a great first bike (but ignorance may be bliss since it’s my one and only bike).
