Just curious. They have a store here in Florida, so I might swing by and take a look.


Thanks,

Do look comfy but they are ugly as all hell. From the pics they look awfully bulky, like they would drastically alter your riding position. Just my

I just did a 3300 or more trip from Austin to Cleveland, D.C. and Richmond, back to Austin. Over a year ago I made an educated guess and bought a Corbin Dual Tour. NOT a cheap option, but I've been wonderfully satisfied with it. On this trip at the end of a plus 12 hour day, yeah, butt's a bit sore, but there's likely nothing you can sit on that long that won't bring some discomfort. It will likely pick you up about 1" higher than a stock seat, and it is firm (for me firm is comfortable, soft is uncomfortable, but not everyone is the same). My girlfriend is very happy with it (the stock seat in my opinion is really crappy for a passenger. Anyway, as stated above, seats are very personal experiences, but I'm very happy with my Dual Tour.

Thanks for the post. Did you go visit their shop before you purchased the seat? I see you are in Orlando.


Thanks,

I purchased my seat before the store was open but, I have been there a few times with friends interested in buying one of their seats and the people working the store are very good. I believe they will permit you to "demo" a seat.
