Koxx One Saddle

[Ranaakamarth]

I really wanted to make a custom Koxx-One unicycle that had an Alien Backflip saddle, but I noticed today that they don't have gel or even thick foam in them. Would that be really uncomfortable to ride even slightly long with? I only wanted that saddle because it looks awesome.

Is it possible to take the seat cover off and add gel inserts then reattach the cover? Would it look good? Would it be worth it to do that, or should I just buy a gel saddle instead?

what kind of riding are you planning to do? If it's for Trials, Street or flatland riding it will be good the way it is, if it's for Muni or distance I would get a KH freeride seat.

I want to do a lot of trials and street, but the good stuff to ride on is spread out so our unicycling club has to ride a bit of a distance from the high school to get to places. So I want it to be comfy for doing that.

I'm not really into distance riding, but if I do have to ride far to get to something I don't want it to be uncomfortable.

I have no experience with Koxx-One Saddles. The "thin layer of foam" sounds like its going to feel liking I'm sitting on a piece of wood. No good padding at all.

Most street/ trials/ flatland seats feel like wood. You get used to it.

It's not because the seat has less foam that it's less comfortable.

Tickness DOES NOT equal comfort.

I never found any difference in confortability between Koxx-one Luxury, Kris Holm Fusion Street and Kris Holm Fusion Street Gel.

I would say the K1 Luxury (or green spirit or alien backflip) are better because the foam will actually last a little longer I think. Since the seat is thinner (less foam), and the foam is not as soft as KH, you butt won't be going through all the foam after a year of sitting on your seat.
