So far I rode the bike twice since getting the new seat. It has significantly improved the entire experience of the bike for me. In the city I was able to mess around for a long time and not feel the fatigue I used to get on the stock seat. It took a heavy full day trip with lots of off-road for any fatigue to set in but it allowed for almost a full day ride; a definite upgrade to the old seat that started to feel too hard a couple of hours into a ride. Its softer than the original but isnt a full on couch you still feel planted and stable. I also appreciate the extra grip that it provides and the extra seat height being a tall rider. Also like the look of it more.
