What are gel seats?
Gel is softer and more comfortable, so it’s more popular with recreational cyclists. Whereas foam is firmer and more supportive, so is preferred by road riders and heavier (>200 lb) cyclists.
Apart from bringing comfort and convenience to the rider, the gel bike seat cover can also protect the bike seat from external threats such as moisture and wear. If you want to make the bike saddle last longer, a high-quality bike seat cover can help make that happen.
Gel seat cushions are designed to reduce pressure and strain on your body. Using one may help control pain and discomfort, especially in your lower back, tailbone, and hips. When shopping for a gel seat cushion, consider the shape and size.
