I don’t notice any big difference as far as shape goes.
Handle is nicer…I’ll have to wait to see if I get blisters from this one.
The seat is certainly softer than a new KH standard seat. However, I don’t think it’s as soft as the KH standard seat on which I’ve ridden hundreds of miles. I’ll have to wait a while to see if it breaks in and softens out a bit like the other one.
It does not hurt my testicals the way the first KH seat did. I don’t know if this is because I’ve gotten used to the way the KH style feels, or because it’s softer than my KH was when I first got it.
The most noticeable difference between the two, though, is that this one is red and the old one is blue.
I was worried that the laces would annoy me or get in the way, but this has not been an issue at all.
So, that’s my review.
