Longest checkmate is indeed 130 moves, but there are only very few positions where this piece can force checkmate. Only 38.4% of the positions with the strong side to move are won (and immediate King capture already contributes 18.4%). So this is not a piece with mating potential. (For comparison: with the Wildebeest, which cannot even force mate in 2, white on move already wins 24%.)
