I think I bought the same seat from a member, although the "scoop" doesn't look so pronounced on mine. Maybe the seeming difference is only camera perspective or with more break-in time it will look the same?

Me too, it allows me to ride longer than two hours before my butt starts to get numb...by then I'm ready to stop to hydrate, fuel up or stretch anyway... who am I kidding? It's much more likely I probably need to pull over to figure out why I'm lost.....Huh

ClassicVW, that's very comforting. I thought it was just me.

KennyW,
I've been thinking of replacing my seat too and love the look of yours. How has the new seat effected your stand? Is the seat higher? Though the stock seat is uncomfortable it is the right height for me. I'm 5'10 with a 29" inseam. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

This one is taller than stock and perfect for me with a 36" inseam.

Well, it looks like 1.5-2 hours is the limit on this seat for me. It does great for my daily commuting but didn't last all day, even with plenty of breaks to stretch, when I went for a ride around Mt. Rainier.

I think I am going to list this one for sale and go order a Corbin instead.
