Most Comfortable Saddle for a Woman?

KH Fusion or KH Gel. I am not convinced of the benefits of an air
saddle. It only felt comfortable sitting on it, but durring the ride
didn't give enough support on the sitbones, so it was always painful.

the torker dx seat basicly is a KH fusion, the cover just doesnt come
off like the fusion.

you have a very comfpy seat, your just getting back into to so any seat
is going to make you sore really. the one you have super plush compared
to the one on the LX for example.

Good point, I was thinking she had an LX. The DX seat is very comfy.
If you havn't ridden it yet, you'll be pleased, comparred to seats that
were available years ago.

Most comfortable saddle for a woman? What sort of a forum is this?
Women should be treated with respect. This is 2005.

However, if you feel my view is a little too modern and ultra-Liberal,
at least buy her one with a padded girth and adjust it so that it
doesn't slip when she breathes in.

Also, try loosening the seatbolts that hold the seat on, and slide the
seat all the way forward so it tips back.

Dont overtighten the bolts, make them snug and a little more.

Hello Becky,
I am sure you just need to get used to sitting in the saddle again. I
have an air seat with a carbon fiber base. I think it is nice but if I
sit for too long it becomes a bit uncomfortable. My style of riding has
me out of the seat a lot so it is rarely an issue. Most of our rides
are pretty technical so I am out of the seat to hop, hill climb or to
put myself back on the muni. We stop so often to attempt natural trials
that it rarely bothers me anymore. If your name ( Jerseygirl ) implies
you live in NJ let me know. I ride with a small group and we are always
looking for new riders. We ride in Ramapo and Boonton and Glenn Ridge
to name a few towns. Mostly North Jersey. You can email me at brian at
computertradeexchange.com if you are interested and you live in the
area.

I've never been a girl so I can't say that my recommendations for
comfortable saddles apply to you. For me, the best combination is an
airseat with a tilt rail adapter so the front can be tilted way up. The
pelvic structure of girls and boys differ. For boys it seems
counter-intuitive that the front of the saddle should tilt up because it
looks as if more pressure would be applied to the genitals. Actually,
tilting the front up makes the rider rock back on their pelvis and more
pressure is applied to the back of the pelvis. On an airseat this is
quite comfortable (or, rather, less uncomfortable) as it spreads the
load quite a bit.

Hi Becky
As the only genuine woman to reply thus far, might I suggest that you
leave the saddle as is and invest in a decent pair of cycling shorts.
They are pricey, depending on the shop you will have to INSIST that
they show you the women's version rather than being fobbed off with the
men's version, but will make any saddle more comfortable.

I wear mine under jeans and they are marvellous. Others will suggest
that you ignore the shorts and get bib shorts, but as women's shorts
are fitted to the waist as opposed to the men's version which has added
elastic the uncomfortable bunching at the waist is pretty much
eliminated.

Hello, its Jerseygirl again. Thanks to everyone for your ideas.

Reading them I would I realzed that I should have mentioned that I am
looking for a seat which would put me sitting on my butt instead of my
privates. I'm not sure but I think guys and girls have this same
difficulty to some degree looking at the way they design bike seats
these days.

Any ideas?

Thanks again,
Becky

I like my air converted miatya saddles for distance riding. I use a
standard Viscount saddle for hockey and freestyleish riding. my air
saddles i did my self i use a 18 inch tube folded in a way that puts
two ridges of tube along the long sides of the saddle and two loops at
the back, that seems to surport where I want it pretty well.
mind you after 20 miles any saddle is a little uncomfy and i need to
stand up to let the blood back to the bits.

Hello - I've come back to unicycling after a long absence. I purchasaed
a Torker DX to ride a a local trail and you know just around. I would
like to pourchase the most comfortable saddle money will buy. The
Miyata air saddle seems to be highly recommended by the unicycle.com
site. But was wondering what you all with practical experience could
tell me.

Thank you!

Becky Becky,

I do make saddles that fit your description. There is a wait for
delivery at this time but if you would like to discuss it, email me at

in my experience the saddle usually slips when she breathes out, not
in. i'll have to try the padding trick.
