Briefs will tend to bunch up and bind when you are moving around in the saddle.

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.)
Good info, especially on tilt forward, are you getting the Chip Beck model Corbin? Either way, please report back, not sure if I want to buy a seat or muffler next..

You will not regret getting the stock version of the Corbin. No comparison & you won't be needing a maxipad.
