KH Freeride Saddle

What's the consensus, is this thing more comfortable than the 06 Fusion
or Nimbus gel for distance riding?

I am alright with it for Muni but the I bought one for my 360 and after
a few rides i went back to my 05 fusion seat and just modified the
foam.
So yes for Muni
NO for street/distance

damn. is it the center groove that makes the KH uncomfortable or what?
i'm using a nimbus gel right now and it's great most of the time, but
it cuts off circulation to my legs after ~20 miles. i thought the
softer foam might ease pressure on the sides of the saddle.

I was using a gel seat for a while and my feet would sometimes fall
asleep from poor circulation on long rides, but I felt the new KH
fusion freeride on my 360 did not have equal support which made it
uncomfortable and like I said earlier I modified the foam on a 05 kh
fusion saddle, cut the groove in center and cut down the front of the
foam to lessen the pressure of front of the saddle and I might still do
a couple miner tweaks to it but it feels good now.
P.S. if you dont already have a railadapter type seat mount, I would
recommend that first

If you're talking about the new redesigned saddle for the '07 KH
mountain unicycle (not called freeride anymore) then YES!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more comfortable, no comparison. I've retired my
airsaddle to boot!

the unicycle is not called freeride anymore, but the 'saddle '
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=952)by itself is.

I got the new kh freeride saddle and I love it. I went on a coker ride
and had no numbness at all on a two hour ride. That's two solid hours
on the seat. Even at stop lights I made sure to keep my full weight on
the seat. I highly recommend this seat. Thanks, Kris.

BigWheelTex: are you using a rail adaptor? And do you think the groove
makes a big difference? What's the padding like? How does it compare
to Gel?

I'm very happy with my Nimbus gel - especially now I've got tilt
adjustment with the new Nimbus handlebars. But at some point in the
future I think I might like to try one of these Freeride saddles - a
dedicated distance saddle would seem to suit well for Cokering or
Muni-ing.

It's good to see KH saddles really pushing the boundaries on unicycle
saddle design and technology.

Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
pedals!
Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
Mark: My wheel has a wheel!

I only sat on it briefly, but it felt great! seemed much better than my
nimbus gel.

The original post was about distance riding. I would also like to hear
from more "distance" riders about the comfort of this saddle. Thanx
Tex, Daytripper.
