I started a thread awhile back regarding the beadrider and airhawk mainly for keeping cooler in the wonderful 164% humidity of the Carolinas. Got the Airhawk (the cheap version) and tried it at every air pressure and position imaginable and it did not work for me. I think the crux of the problem is that the stock seat tilts forward and the slow march forward on the seat was exacerbated by the airhawk. This resulted in additional air pressure moving towards the front of the airhawk, which, well, you can figure it out. Seems like the AirHawk R is a direct recognition and response to this problem. (I've decided on the Corbin and I am keeping the Airhawk since I think it may work on the sculpted Corbin saddle.)
