Trials Saddles

Hi,

I think it would have a carbon fiber seat base.
-->Less weight, more strenght and stiffness.

And for the sif to be comfortable, you'll want a thick foam or gel
saddle.

Koxx or KH gel.

Or, just a regular KH is better than everything else...

I vote for the miyata/torker lx shape in carbon fiber. The lip is alot
bigger than KH so its easier and more comfortable to hold. Normal KH
foam is just too fat.

I despise Miyata/LX seats for that reason: the sides are to narrow to
hold for sif trials.

They work great for street though. 🙂

Just a CF seat base with a little vinyl tubing around the edges. No
handle, no padding... that stuff is for wimps.

For trials riding, you shouldn't be sitting in the seat. You should be
riding SIF, holding the back of the seat base.

Do you mean the lip is to skinny? I wouldn't really know because I ride
a Miyata CF base with the vinyl tubing. I hate the stock miyata and lx
seats because the only foam is the stuff under your carpets...I use cut
down KH foam on my miyata cf base and its reallllly nice for trials.

i actually like the viscount. it's super stiff. light weight is a far
second to me under stiffness. i currently ride a normal KH with a
stiffner plate which is too tall/bulky. i've tried the viscount though
and like it quite a bit.

I actually grab the seat around where the seatpost is, and I tried the
same on a friend's Koxx Devil, and found that there was much less space
to put my fingers then on my KH seat.

Im currently riding a kh gel saddle witha fusion cover, im so sick of
breaking stiffner plates so i orderd a CF base wich should come next
week some time. Then i will have my ultimate saddle. btw, is it easy to
put a kh handle on a viscount? what about a kh rear bumber?

i still reckon a new kh fusion with cf and cutout handles would be the
best 😄

I dont know what he meens by "the cover has started to crack" but all
the saddles covers I've had ( Kris holm fusion, KH gel, Velo) have
gotten holes and tears in them from seat draging and stuff, You should
jut be careful with it.

Well I ride a wallis de-rail carbon fiber base...I tilt that back, and
my base also came with sif grips on the sides. I really like it! So
far there are no complaints. I cut my seat foam down by a lot. When
riding sif trials, there's no reason for all of that foam. Plus, it
makes transitioning from seat-in to seat-out a lot better. And, if you
ride a lot of seat-out, you can raise the seat up higher, for more
stability.

Is that seat post all the way up?

I was thinking about getting one of the alum frames...and getting rid
of this '04 canadian made KH that I'm currently running.

I'm 5' 7"...and I don't ride with much foam at all...I like to ride
with my seat fairly high. So would the thompson be too short?
