KH Fusion Slim

TonyTorchia · 2011-06-02, 05:17 AM

I wasnt too sure if i would really like this new seat but i got it about 3 days a go and i am in love with it! I'd say in some parts its thinner than the koxx one saddles (Up near the top of the handle on both sides it is thinner but in the middle of the seat i would say its the same thickness). And don't even get me started about the handle... Kris did a great job reshaping the grip of it (Now you can sorta wrap your fingers around it and really get a good pull on the seat when you go to jump) plus you don't get your fingers stuck. Any flatlanders thinking about getting a new seat i would highly suggest the KH slim!

Good to hear that it's as good as it looks!

i am going to buy a kh slim or a carbon fibre base cause my plastic base is broken=) ive got a kh fusion street 08 saddle now

I'm fond of slim seats so I look forward to trying yours the next time we meet!

I'm thinking of getting one for freestyle. I have problems pulling the fusion/street out from between my legs and I don't want to lower the seat any further.

Does a less bulky seat make that easier?

I dont think that slim saddles makes it easyer to pull out the seat but it makes it easyer to hold it.

kamikaze · 2011-07-04, 11:41 AM

So it's as wide as the street?

UniMadMan · 2011-07-04, 12:53 PM

Do anyone can compare KH Slim and Naomi Impact for mix of trial, street/flat?

I must buy seatpost and saddle and dunno what choose. (i broke my KH Street 2nd time oO does Naomi break that often?)

I dont have money for CF base, so dont post it.

Sorry for ENG, all the best

The naomi uses the plastic velo base, it will probably break just as easily as the KH, unfortunately the CF base is what you really need, if you keep breaking seats it will be worth it.

The new kris holm is stronger because it has a reinforced new shaped plate the naomi still uses the old plate.

I read Kris' introduction of the 2011 seats again and he says they are as wide. The only difference is that the slim is thinner in the middle.

So the comparison I need is differences between the 2011 slim and the 2010 fusion/street saddle.

I order my stuff from Ajata and I'd love to see your warehouse one day.

UniMadMan · 2011-07-05, 01:05 PM

stronger KH? OK

i am not that rich to buy CF base (i hope now only :P)

but what about the rest of specification of this saddles? what about comfort in trial/street/flat/riding and anything other what is important in saddles?

just compare naomi and KH on all levels u know are important for rider

I personally ride a custom miyata saddle with sw handles and a cf base and think its awesome. it is super comfy and way easier to grab seat in and out compared to the kh street saddle i find.

however if you dont have the money for a cf base maybe you should get the kh seat with the kh reinforcement plate. it'll make the seat heavier but it should help you stop breaking it and make it a bit stiffer.

here is a link to the plate http://www.krisholm.com/khu/plate

i personally dont have any experience with impact stuff since you still can't get it in canada, however judging my the number of people riding them in competition videos (like the euc videos) i'd say they must be a pretty decent saddle.

hope this helps

TonyTorchia · 2011-07-05, 07:25 PM

Trust me... you dont need the reinforcement plate if you get the new KH seat. I use to brake the old Velo bases all the time, once a month, and now ive got Kris's new design and havent broken it for the 2 months or so ive had it. Its way stiffer and doesnt bend. Plus the slimness is a bonus

UniMadMan · 2011-07-05, 09:54 PM

omg i asked about kh slim vs naomi impact

i just know it is durable, ok

but which is better cause don't know which should i buy
i ask about all specification, not only durability
