Not completely sure this is the right place to post this… but can anyone compare the two? I’m assuming that the KH seat is generally better, but is the difference really very noticeable?
Hello,
Owning both seats, I can tell you they’re both very good quality and totally compatible, you can mount the Nimbus one with KH saddle enhancements and vice-versa.
The Nimbus is more curved than the KH Street, but that doesn’t mean one is better than the other. It’s just a matter of personnal preference and riding style as their prices are similar too.
The easier way for you to chose would be to try them both…
nimbus gel is good, but uncomfortable as hell. i had to shave mine down
kh fusion street is way more comfortable
All 2009 or 2010 seats come with the new hardware- allen bolts instead of dome nuts. The newest ones are stiffest compared to older seats too. I haven’t tried a recent Nimbus gel seat but the old ones are fairly popular with the children at school. The 2009 KH Street Gel seat is pretty good. It is relatively flat with a channel of gel in the middle. The base is very stiff and it is compatible with the stiffener plate for ultimate stiffness without carbon fiber. The 2010 KH Street is also very nice- it is similar to the 2009 Street Gel, but instead of a gel strip it has a channel cut out of the center, similar to the Fusion freeride saddle. The channel is supposed to be good for thumb grip while doing seat out stuff.
Some people do not like the curve on the Nimbus Gel seat so if you can try one out beforehand for a bit it might help make your decision.
Be thankful your only option is not a Savage saddle.
well it depends on what yu use it for…i ride street/flat/trials and the KH is waaaaaay better, comfier i find and easier to take it apart for any reason. Also, i find the 08 KH street way nicer as it’s slimmer, and thats better in my opinion for everything including long distance. But of course yu cant use the stiffener plate and the base isn’t as good for sif riding…i still like it better though!
The nimbus gel is still a really nice seat to use, but id go with the KH. My 2 cents!
