It is something that Kris instigated along with Velo the manufacturer.
The base has some additional infill on the inside just in front of the
seatpost. This has always been the point of weakness in the seats. The
plastic does not offer much stength in itself but it allows the
reinforcing to not have the kink in it so making it a lot stronger.
This will be filtering through to all the seats in time.
FOR SURE THIS WILL BE THE SADDLE OF THE YEAR!!
Things are moving forward all the time. The KH saddle with Kris doing a
lot of the developments is improving all the time.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A SADDLE LIKE THAT WITH A COMPLETE KEBLAR SURFACE
ARROUND THE SADDLE NOT JUST ON THE RED PART. AND ALSO A MODEL ALVAILABLE
WITHOUT THE UNICYCLE.COM LOGO ; )
This would make a very expensive saddle indeed, it would probably double
the cost of the saddle. The Kevlar is stupildy expensive! If you want
durable then look at the leather covers, these are the most durable
covers... but you must not allow them to get too wet or dried out with
heat or they fail. I have one that is used almost every day and is
almost perfect after over 10 years.
