Goal
Not have a sore butt during long rides (2+ hours). I weigh 170 lb and am 5’10” tall.
Experience
I ordered mine through my Honda dealership.
It has a higher friction coefficient than the stock seat.
Freeway comfort
On the freeway, with the stock seat I have to lift my butt after 60 minutes (to relieve pain under the sitting bones) and with this one it is about 70 minutes.
