Since 2020, bike gel seat covers are one of the fastest-growing bicycle accessories in Amazon. Compared with 2019, the bike gel seat covers sales for bicycles increased by 520%. Bike gel covers are not only suitable for outdoor bicycles and electric vehicles, but also suitable for indoor fitness dynamic bicycles. Its wide application has brought explosive growth.

If you do not use the gel bike seat cover, you may feel uncomfortable after half an hour under normal circumstances. If you use it, you will feel pain after riding for at least 2 hours.

To select the most suitable bike gel seat covers, you need to pay attention to the following 5 details:

1. Materials

At present, bike seat covers mainly use sponge and silicone inside and polyester outside. Silica gel: formerly known as silicone rubber, has high adsorption performance, good thermal stability, stable chemical properties, and high mechanical strength, so it is not as easy to deform as a sponge and has more flexibility. Similarly, its shortcomings are also very fatal, because of its structural problems, it is unable to breathe and sweat.

Sponge: as we know, a sponge has strong water absorption and good cushioning. It is often used in sofas and cushions. The soft and delicate natural tissue structure can cooperate with the sweat glands of human skin to drain sweat to the greatest extent. It can dry quickly and is not easy to grow mold. The disadvantage of a sponge cushion cover is that it is easy to deform and damage.

The external material polyester cloth can make the bike seat cover more breathable. Customers can adjust the proportion of materials according to their preferences and market demand. The regular structure is 30% gel on top and 70% sponge at the bottom. Some customer prefers more proportion of gel to make a better stable shape.

2. Appearance and Design

The shape of the bike seat covers adopts an arc design, streamline and close to the bicycle seat. A Groove shape is designed on the surface. There are little anti-skid spots on the back of the bicycle seat cover, which can increase the friction and prevent the bike seat covers from falling off during riding. The back part is provided with a strap and a drawstring, which make the bike seat cover more firmly installed on the bicycle seat. For more safety, reflective strips will be added to the cushion cover. Some customers also add PVC bike seat cover to make a suit.

Further, we would like to explain the groove shape part on the surface. It has three functions:

1). Reduce weight.

It reduces the streamlined wind resistance of driving, and can better save people’s physical strength, which is still very helpful for long-time riding.

2). Reduce pressure.

Regular cyclists will certainly have this feeling. After a long time of riding, their hips will feel the pain of tearing. In fact, it is due to the stress between the two sides of the hip (sciatic bone) and the seat covers during riding. There are many nerves and blood vessels in the middle of people’s sciatic bones. The hollowed-out design is mainly to solve the pressure on the blood vessels and nerves in this area, so as to relax our sense of oppression and make riding healthier.

3). Ventilation.

After riding for a long time, there will be a lot of heat at the hip, resulting in a lot of sweat. This design plays a role in ventilation and heat dissipation to a great extent, so it is very necessary for the bicycle cushion to be breathable.

3. Environmental protection

More purchases will consider the eco-friendly materials of bike seat covers. The relevant certification is required. Not only does the material require environmental protection, but we also need to keep them tidy and clean during production.

4. Application Scope

The bicycle seat cover is not only suitable for outdoor bicycles and electric vehicles, but also suitable for indoor dynamic bicycles. A suit of cycling wear and a bike seat cover can make the riding experience more comfortable.

5. Packing

Generally, we use tie cards and PP bags for gel bike seat covers packaging. The gel bike seat covers can be put in a warehouse for a long period with a perfect appearance.

The classification of bicycle products is very clear, and the functional characteristics of different bike seat covers are different. Some are more suitable for travel, some are more suitable for sports, some are suitable for mountains and so on. Generally speaking, the most expensive seat cover is for competition. Leisure riding requires a moderate size, moderate hardness and ergonomics, and more health and comfort.
