Kirt Voreis' Seat Testing Will Get You Stoked For Spring Riding
Words: SDG Components
From World Cup downhill tracks to your local trails and dirt jumps, Kirt Voreis has done it all. His two wheeled weapon of choice at this point in his career is his Niner Trail Bike, no matter what he’s riding or where he’s headed. Equipped with a Tellis dropper post and the all-new SDG Bel-Air V3 Max, Kirt knows he has a lightweight saddle that won’t get in his way while pedaling. It's built tough enough to deal with a few missed landings while being comfortable enough for all day trail rides in the So-Cal hills.
Kirt put the V3 Max through the ringer and rode it all... and he did it in a way only Kirt can.
 | The Bel-Air V3 Max has the comfort for endless rides and a sleek style for more maneuverability. I love this saddle! |
The new V3 Max is Pure Comfort.
Utilizing the same performance driven base as the original Bel-Air V3, the Max was specifically enhanced for long, pain free days in the saddle. It’s a slimmed down, shorter version of the legendary Bel-Air series, an evolution designed to match today’s modern bike geometries.
The new ATMOS shaping technology eliminates the need for bumpers, staples or glue leaving you with a seamless Vacuum-sealed cover.
With increased Injection EVA padding, a deeper, more profound channel relief and new rear rise platform, the V3 Max extends comfort, control and power from the seated position. All day trail rides, e-powered or not, no longer have to be a pain in your butt.

hmmm may need to c&p
In addition to the jeep there was a stuck car a while back. It was right in the middle of a gap jump. Still kicking myself for being too chicken to jump it. How often do you get the chance to jump a car on your local trails (Except for maybe that one trail in Utah.)? The roofline of the car was a bit too high above the lip of the jump for my comfort level. I'll hit the same gap every time in the absence of a car, but somehow that just made it a touch too sketchy. I'm sure someone probably has footage on their Insta of jumping that car, it was there for about a week.
I used to live in Loma Linda, I would ride from my front door fairly often. I mostly ride Sycamore and Greer now.
Sycamore is best with someone who knows the place. It is easy to get turned around or miss the fun stuff. I would try to get there as much as you can before it gets covered in warehouses. Though with all the weeds right now, that is a buzz kill. And my weedeater and machete are going to take 3 years to get it cleaned up.
But all that stuff out there is pretty amazing to ride.
My local trails are pretty quite. The more people keep moving out here, I'm sure the local trails around me will get busy. Busy trails can be good, keep the trail ridden in.
Great video though.
I think you'll see a lot fewer people wanting to film there in the coming months when all the new vegetation dies off, everything is the color of dirt, there are triple-degree temps by 10a, and all the trails have turned to moon dust covered braking bumps and blown out berms that won't get repaired until the rains come again next winter. Still a fun place to ride, but definitely best in the winter/spring.
