udc gel saddle?

I have them both, and I find that the UDC gel seems less comfortable
when you first get on it, but it stays about the same while you ride
it, whereas the KH tends to get sore after a while. UDC is thinner so
easier to grip for sif, but the KH is fine too when you get used to
it.
They're both good seats though, and different people find different
things comfy, if you can try a udc gel out sometime that would help you
decide.

You can't give up hope just because it's hopeless. You gotta hope even
more, and cover your ears and go 'bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla!'

^^Agreed. Gel saddles are ment to be better for chafing issues (I'll
confirm or deny this when I pick mine up at the BUC 😄)

hi, I was wondering if the gel saddle is comfier than the fusion. I was
thinking that for my bar mitzvah I would upgrade my saddle setup 4 my
trials, and ive heard that the gel saddles are much better for sif and
distance. I also do Muni on my trials and I was wondering because it's
skinnier if it would reduce rashes.

also I would put the fusion sadlle on my 24" schwinn or on my giraffe

For freestyle stuff, get one of the slimmer velo/kh saddles. For
trials, either kind is probably fine, unless you tend to do a lot of
street freestyle. The gel or the ones that say freestyle in the name
are good. I use the gel version, though I have no idea how different a
non-gel one is as far as actual long term comfort goes. I took the gel
one apart and was not impressed on how different it was... as it just
has a section in the front that is a closed cell "gel" padding, but the
rest is the same. In any case, the velo/kh saddles are the most
comfortable for me. I used to have an "older" old style miyata (from
the 80s and early 90s) that I used to ride and after switching
completely to the velo/kh saddles, I haven't had a saddle soreness
problem in freestyle riding. I use the standard velo saddle for long
distance and of course, just because of time in the saddle, there is
some discomfort, but it's much better than the miyata saddles were,
which used to be the best. Now days I also use a chamois cream whenever
I ride to help prevent soreness... it just helps everything slide into
the right places for the best comfort. I use assOS right now, but I've
used paceline's butt'r before.
