What makes a good BMX saddle?
A good BMX saddle uses the Pivotal system: the angle adjusts steplessly and the clamp takes far more abuse than a saddle/post combo. Stealth saddles hide the clamp inside the shell and sit lower - preferred where the saddle gets in the way of a trick. The cover material is a matter of taste; where it is reinforced with Kevlar it lasts longer at the corners. More on this in the category FAQ

kunstform Picks from the BMX Seats category
Our history with BMX parts did not start when we opened kunstform in 2003: some of the team have been riding longer than the shop has existed, and most of us are still on a bike today. So we know pretty well which parts we can trust. A kunstform Pick therefore only goes to what we would bolt onto our own bikes: parts where the quality and the value are right, and that you will enjoy for a long time.
