Anyone tried an Airhawk seat cushion? I was talking to someone at the RTTW who uses one and he was really raving about it saying it was much more comfortable than a gel seat. At £79 from Bikebitz it seems a much more cost effective solution.

Better to be old and grey than the alternative!

I think they look shite, but everyone who has used them raves over them.

I won't try one in case I like them and spoil the aesthetics!

yep, ive got one and cant tell you how good it is, it increases my ride time from about 2 hours to 10 hours, serious. the knack is only to have a small amount of air in it. yes they do look a bit goofy but it only comes out for the serious rides like calais to praque. When your arse feels like is been abused by king kong and his brothers , who gives a shit about putting on a goofy pillow, i only clip it on when im riding anyway .

O.C.

:agree: although I dont use one myself as I prefer the Gel seat, but Gill uses it on the pillion and it makes the world of difference on long journeys, she says its fantastic  :yes:

As Viper says the trick is not to overinflate it otherwise its uncomfortable apparantly

Yes I believe  they are fantastic, but £147 sqid is a bit strong for a whoopy cushion I think. :smiley:

there are two airhawk cushions, a cheap on and a more expensive, the more expensive is a material than can be repaired( neoprene ), ive had the cheap one for 5 years no probs( poly)

I have one and can say that it makes a real difference on long trips (4 plus hours).  Like it says in a prev mail that you don't ned to blow it up too hard...

I saw one last week in the smoke and the owner/rider swore by it .... the standard K seat is just fine for me !  :wink:
