When it comes to motorcycle seating comfort, nothing compares with the innovation of SaddleGel from Saddlemen. Whether integrated into a large touring seat for long distance riding, or something low and slammed to the ground, SaddleGel provides unsurpassed riding comfort.
Saddlemen developed this proprietary technology after studying the medical industry – where gel was used to comfort patients confined to beds and wheelchairs for long periods of time. In the early ‘90s, the experienced riders at Saddlemen figured out a way to incorporate all the benefits of gel into a motorcycle seat by molding medical grade gel into a solid with fluid-like properties that float the rider comfortably on top of the seat.
Reduces Vibration, Eliminates Pressure Points
SaddleGel eliminates pressure points, evenly distributing a rider’s weight across the surface of the seat, helping to absorb and eliminate the extra pressure experienced at the hip and tailbone. These pressure points or “hot spots” create a loss of blood flow, causing discomfort. By increasing blood flow, comfort is enhanced. SaddleGel also isolates engine and road vibration, a common cause of rider fatigue. SaddleGel dramatically increases the time a rider can comfortably spend in the saddle. SaddleGel is especially beneficial for thinner seats where foam alone is not sufficient to provide comfort.
Integrated Comfort Technology
It’s true that SaddleGel works wonders for seating comfort, but Saddlemen doesn’t stop there. Their integrated seat designs include a selection of materials that work together to make the seats as comfortable as possible, while still giving the owner’s bike show-quality style. Saddlemen uses only the best materials in their saddles.
Saddlemen’s premium Black Magic foam combines with SaddleGel to conform to the rider’s physique to equalize pressure. This specially formulated molded foam utilizes a closed cell outer-wall that defines the foam shape and seals the open celled inner chambers. This combination of open cell foam for soft comfort and dense closed cell walls for support is superior to all other foam designs. This high quality foam also separates the rider from the hard and uncomfortable frame, as well as acting as a cushioning shock absorber to dampen road bumps and vibration.
SaddleGel designs are firm enough to maintain seat shape but at the same time are compliant (soft) enough to allow the seat to automatically adjust shape (conform) to equally support each individual’s unique body form. SaddleGel is molded in place during the foaming process and will never leak, displace or wear-out with heavy use; that is why it carries a lifetime warranty. The Saddlemen cushion is durable, lasting for many years and miles. If it ever deteriorates or fails to perform, it will be replaced free of charge!
Saddlemen’s standard Saddlehyde cover material offers a glove-soft leathery feel and weather-resistant, low-maintenance good looks. In addition, Saddlehyde stretches in four directions, conforming to every curve and contour, maximizing the benefit of the SaddleGel underneath.
