Favorite best saddle

Thank you. That’s very helpful and encourages me to order the saddle during the spring. Thank you!

@Anne_unicycle Which saddle are you thinking of? The one in the last pic from @Hammer looks like KH Fusion 1. If you buy that, you’ll need to use a pivotal seatpost too.

I think @Anne_unicycle is in Germany, so it might be an expensive test.
But I’ll happily try it myself when we meet! :+1:

My favorite saddle is the KH Fusion Zero. I have also the KH Fusion One Saddle but I don’t used this saddle.

@Anne_unicycle if you have interest to test the Fusion One Saddle with a Pivotal Seatpost you can test it. I’m in Germany. The shipping costs are not so expensive. If you have interest send an PM.

Another Question…

The Nightfox 36". Can I use an another Saddle? I hate the Nimbus Stadium Saddle and long ways with the Saddle that I hate is not the best I think. You have same experience with that? Like an another Saddle like the KH Fusion Street or another Saddle. Is it going or not?

The Nightfox will take most saddles, but not the M41 handle saddles without significant modification. I’ve got one mounted on my Nightfox though, so even that can be done.

The mad4one leather saddle.
Has anyone had good experiences with this saddle? I heard in the last few comments that the majority thinks this is quite good, right?

I will think about it. Thank you! your willingness to help is so incredibly nice!

@xav29er Do you have the Kris Holm Fusion Zero too?

Sorry, I don’t have the Nightfox. My saddle on my 36er QX Rgb is the QX Eleven. Maybe that’s a good choice?

I don’t like the mad4one saddle handle saddle quite as much as my KH fusion freeride/fusion street/QX Eleven. The seat has a tendency to fall backwards between my legs in hopping (maybe it just needs more adjustment) and the saddle between my legs is a lot wider than the other saddles. I feel like I have too much pressure there rather than on my sit bones. But maybe it just needs to be adjusted more.

But the handle is super strong and solid.

The saddle falling back during hopping usually comes with longer handlebars. Your hand naturally comes closer to your body when you pull on the handle, which pushes the seat back. The further forward your hand is in relation to the seat, the further back the saddle will push.

The Mad4one seat seems to be received similar to the fusion zero/one. Some people really cannot get comfortable with it (and I think that mostly comes down to the width), but for others it is the most comfortable option by far.

Still working out the details of this. Right now it’s just held on with zip ties. Once I figure out the correct height and angle I’ll do something cleaner.

Very interesting! I’m interested to learn if the springs add to, or take away, any sense of control or connection to the unicycle.

I can definitely see the potential to this sort of design. Bike seats have much more r and d and having a handle like that should make the bike seat function more or less like it is designed to. Looking forward to hearing how this works out!

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you Finn. That helped me a lot!

Thanks Linda, your experience is exciting to read. If you like, you can send me an update, when you figure it out, what’s the best way of using the Saddle is…

Note that the muni/road handle saddles come in both narrow and wide versions, so people’s experience is going to vary.

And people’s bodies are different shapes and sizes. For how often these discussions come up and how infrequently anyone can agree shows how different everyone is and how there’s no one size fits all.

It’s unfortunate that there’s no easy way to try a load of these different saddles unless you’ve got a local club with them, local friends with them, or you just want to buy them and try them all.

I’ve resisted recommending any specific saddles for that reason. I know what I do and don’t like, but really the answer to these kinds of questions is “try a few different saddles”.
