paulmbowers 236 Posted April 5, 2019 I had carbon/carbon on my first seat, and I kept slipping off. I don't recommend it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TexasDualler 32 Posted April 5, 2019 Got the premium suede on the seat for my 950. I dig it. Super comfy. Great for long leisurely rides and I’ve gotten quite a few compliments. Although I see you don’t have that option and I’m guessing this is for your small bike? Probably a completely different riding style than I do on my 950. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oracle 195 Posted April 5, 2019 I have the carbon fiber/gripper with orange stiching on all three of my KTM's. I love them. I don't want to move on the seat unless I decide to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oracle 195 Posted April 6, 2019 Now I'm jealous, I want an XL...That's a nice looking seat. FWIW, I customize every seat I install on my bike. I use a sanding disc to "scoop" out a channel down the middle of the foam before installing the cover. This relieves pressure on my tailbone and is much more comfortable than just a flat seating surface. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoCalMule 106 Posted April 6, 2019 Carbon fiber / gripper material combination works very well for me! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wierdrider 187 Posted April 7, 2019 I ordered the low slip with orange stitching👍, and I just picked up a Giant Loop Coyote about a mile away from CL/ADVrider for $50!
