Lost Feeling in Hand

After riding my new MTB twice, I've lost the feeling in my hand. I can feel both are taking a bit of a battering on this bike.

My question is not about health (I've seen a Dr), it's ab0ut bike set up. What can be done to sort this out?

I was thinking about chaning the saddle - the new one is very light and carbon, I wondering if I'm taking more weight on my hands...

Anyone have advice??

Cheers

Losing feeling? Are you wearing gloves? Also while you're riding try stretchin your hands out a bit

Gloves yes. I've been ridig for many years, the only thing different about these rides are the bike.
