My buttocks were less sore.

[Merit]
I think it is effective. around 50km in CUB (about 1.5 hours) When I did MINITouring with the HoneycombGel, I used to get butt pain in the middle of the ride and had to change my riding posture many times to change the position of my butt. I could continue to ride with the same posture until the end.

[Demerit]
The Seat height is about 3cm higher. I usually ride with thick-soled safety shoes, so it does not bother me, but when I happened to ride with thin-soled Sneakers, which I wear when I drive a MT car, I noticed quite a difference in Seat height. However, the difference is not enough to scare me, so I don't think it is a fatal demerit. (If you usually ride with Limit on your feet, you may be a bit scared...)
The price is quite expensive, so it is not easy to buy one for my other LITTLE CUB. However, it is not so easy to install that I can easily replace it. Can't you do something about the price?

OthersImpressions, etc.
Installation is not as easy as it sounds, but it's not hard either. Loosen the cord that fastens the Cover as much as you can and place the GelSeat on the back side of the Seat. (The one that says HONDA) The part of the Seat cover where the cord goes around the edge. (Material is Rubber?). is just about folded into the SeatReverse side of the CUB.
It says that it can be used for CROSS CUB and CT110 HUNTER CUB, which have thicker Seat than CUB, but since even SUPER CUB is quite puffy, I felt that CROSS and HUNTER may not have enough extra room to fold into the SeatReverse side. (personal opinion)
The CoverMaterial was more solid than I expected. That is fine, but it is not very flexible, so I felt that the advantages of HoneycombGel were not utilized. I thought the Gel would be more effective if the material was a little more flexible and stretchable. It might be a good idea to replace it with a mesh cover from another company.
It's not important, but Cover's AMBOOT." The Emblem part was sent folded, and the Emblem was almost peeling off at the apex of the fold, probably because the CoverMaterial is hard and the fold habit was sharp. I stretched it properly and pressed it down so it stuck, but I think it will peel off sooner or later. (Print？) Therefore, I think it would be a waste to have it tear and peel off, so I would like to have more adhesive strength.
