I know we aren’t supposed to sit down and ride trails, but when your abnormally large it’s nice to bring the center of gravity down a ways when the trails get a bit dodgy. I’m 6’6” and this seat makes sitting to standing waaaaay easier than a stock height seat. I imagine it’s what normal riders feel like when they make the transition. Also being such a taller seat, it’s a lot more comfortable to stay in the correct attack position on the bike without your knees hitting your chin. Combine the seat with some fastaway pegs mounted in the low position, and you’ll feel like your bike was custom built for you. The foam isn’t as soft as I would’ve guessed from the description and since ordering I’ve only had time for one ride of 30 miles of single track so far. I imagine my butt is still going to be fairly sore on a 100 mile trail ride, but the gains made in riding position and overall comfort, the seat is worth every penny of the 115$ or 120$ or whatever it was to purchase. It fit 90% to perfect on my 300xcw. Just had to give it a good smack to get it in position. My only complaintis is for the first time I can remember since riding as a kid, my legs feel shorter on the bike. But we all know our feet aren’t supposed to come off our pegs anyway! Hahaha!
