Lets talk about saddles

well it depends on what type of riding you do...if trials get the koxx
gel or the KH fusion and cut the foam down.

They are all good for different types of riding. What type of riding are
you looking to do with it? Freestyle? Muni? Trials?

Both are pretty much the same. Thinner foam than regular Velo saddle.

Velo saddle, both the same, except the fusion has a removable cover
(which means you can do anything you want with the padding inside.)

miyata saddle

A decent saddle, but the Velo saddles are better, IMO.

Quoted message said:

onza saddle kh type

Velo saddle, same as the regular KH above.

Quoted message said:

qu-ax saddle

No idea on how good this one is.

Quoted message said:

viscount saddle

Not recommended, but some people like it.

Quoted message said:

velo freestyle saddle

Similar in thickness to the gel saddles, but uses the regular foam
instead of having a patch of gel foam in the front. Also has handleless
bumpers, which are fine for freestyle or trials use, but not for long
distance uses (muni, tours).

For freestyle, get one of the thinner ones (gel or freestyle). Trials,
any of the velo ones. Muni or long distance, any of the velos with
handles.

I like it, it's thinner than a standard KH. Not too comfortable for
sitting on, but fine for trials and street.

For sitting on comfortabillity, I'd say a gel seat or KH fusion.

Not too comfortable to sit on? Well, isn't that like the biggest
consideration in a seat?

Haven't you heard? It also has to mow the lawn, do your homework, and
cure cancer. Kris Holm is designing one right now.

well, i like the viscount because it's super stiff without an after
market plate. and thin for sif. i think it's more comfortable than a
standard torker seat, but less comfortable than almost everything else.

Don't we all. 🙄
That ideal saddle does not exist.

The saddle situation is getting much better though. We now have stock
saddles that are much better than what we could get just five years
ago. But to make a good saddle now still requires custom modifications
to make them more comfortable or better suited to your needs.
Modifications like cutting the foam, adding a carbon fiber base,
changing the handle, converting to an air seat, etc. The comfy seat is
a never ending quest.

I bought one of the thin, soft orange KH seats from Darren Bedford last
summer for my 50 mile ride, and it was great. I would recommend you
get that seat with the rail adapter so you can set the tilt angle
exactly where you want it.

rite, im a guy, with dreadlocks, and a gooch is the space between your
anus and scrotem.

im am thinking of buying the onza seat, kh model . People say theres
too much padding in the kh seats but hey its better than a learner
seat, and at only 18 quid its good value for money too.

wat do u guys n girls think,? ne one own one? , are they comfy?

The Scott Wallis carbon fiber air seat is about as close to perfection
as you'll ever find, but it's costly--but well worth the money if you
can afford it and if you ride rough terrain stuff on a regular basis.
