GEL
GEL is a material, in the form of pads, installed upon order as a last layer on the seat foam, in order to achieve better weight distribution for the rider. The longer you are riding, the GEL pads efficiency is increasing and it is absorbing vibrations better. It is important to mention that, although we suggest the use of GEL for riders who wish to cover as many kilometers as possible making fewer stops, the GEL by itself is not enough in all cases- if the seat doesn’t have the necessary surface and the right shape, the gel pad won’t reach its full performance potential. Therefore, we recommend it combined with an anatomically designed seat for the best feasible results. GEL pads may be installed for the rider, for the pillion passenger or both.
Soft Blue GEL
Soft Blue GEL is of medium density, it is 15mm thick, it is most commonly used, for all distances (short or long) and for all body types. It “works” almost directly, after roughly 10 minutes. Due to its hardness, we could say that it is more steady for abrupt changes of direction, therefore suitable for “sporty” driving on winding roads.
