  5. I recently wrote a review on Nimbus gel seats, it was in dutch and I
    can't be arsed to look it up, but it comes down to this:

    The Nimbus saddle is a very good saddle, better than the old 'KH' gel
    seats, where the handles would be put on rather 'un-straight'. The
    plastic seatbase is the same seatbase as the Kris Holm fusion saddle
    has, both seats have a low profile, meaning they're thinner which is
    better for seat-out hopping. The saddle is just as good as other
    saddles for seat-in hopping, maybe better as you can basically put your
    saddle even lower.

    Positive about fusion: If you wreck the seat cover, you can put on a
    new fusion seatcover.
    Positive about Nimbus gel: If you wreck the seat cover, you can also
    put a new fusion seatcover on it, you can put it on all KH design
    saddles. Most importantly: This saddle has gel so is more comfortable.

    Personally I'd go for the Nimbus gel saddle.

    The same except for a few minor cosmetic differences. The Nimbus gel
    saddle will have the nimbus logo embroidered on the back (in red or
    blue) and the word "gel" in small white text on the front just above
    the handle. It may be possible to still find the odd "UDC gel saddle"
    without the Nimbus branding.
