AIRHAWK® Motorcycle Seat Cushion Cruiser, Medium

There's no getting away from it, sitting on an Airhawk for the first time is WEIRD! However, letting more & more air out gradually lets your butt settle in & finally, once you've got it just right, it feels comfortable & not so weird. Ideally you let so much air out that the bladder is fully compressed in the areas where it's bearing the most weight. I've not tried any long rides, yet but the "hardwood seat" on my Tracer 9GT's seat really needs something like this pad. It does seem to produce a bit of movement of the rider on the seat that is unsettling in corners, but I don't intend on dragging a knee in any twisties so no problems there. I do like the mesh panels that let air through, the ventilation should ease Summer rides, but I'd like to see a way of closing them off for when it's colder. I don't like the straps, the elastic seems weak & the clips that attach them to the pad look really weak & prone to breakage. I'm getting some stronger straps & clips as soon as I can. Am I glad I've bought it? Well try sitting on the wooden plank of a seat on my "Sport Tourer" for an hour WITHOUT this pad & you can guess my response. It isn't perfect, but it's cheap & easy compared to custom seats that can cost as much as $1000 & might not even feel all that good. Improvements to this product would be better straps & clips, closures for the vent panels & strengthening of the bladder where it rubs against the air valve causing a leak (I've reinforced this area on mine with small sticky, rubber pads I use for puncture repairs on my mountain bike). I'd also like to see a pad with a heater & I might try putting one in just to see what results I can get. Time will tell if this is a long term solution, but I see Airhawks on lots of touring bikes so that tells me that there's worthwhile something to them.

When Airhawk says they'll "save your ass", they're not joking! Any day that the roads are dry and the temps are above freezing, I prefer to ride my motorcycle (2009 Honda Shadow Spirit) to/from work, which is a hundred (100) miles round trip. Mind you, my cruiser has seen 3 other owners before me but, between all of them, they only put 7250 miles on her so, I figured the seat was hardly broken in. That's why I initially thought the pain and discomfort I was experiencing at the end of each 50 mile jaunt, was just the seat needing to 'break in' and soften up more. But, I quickly came to realize the stock seat wasn't going to get any softer than it is now and that feels about as soft as a concrete slab covered in pleather, at the end of a steady 50 miles. I immediately began looking into buying a new seat, only to find that replacement seats are a lot more pricey than I thought they would be. The cheapest option from a reputable manufacturer, will cost nearly $500 and unfortunately, that's not a chunk of change I can afford to just drop at this point in time. So, I started looking at seat pad options and after a few weeks of online research, reading reviews and talking with other riders, I decided the Airhawk products were the way to go. Sure, gel and memory foam pads are cheaper but, I've used those type of cushions on overseas airplane flights for years and neither has ever been much of an improvement in that regard so, I didn't think they'd be any better on a motorcycle ride. Now that I've experienced the difference an Airhawk pad makes in the comfort of a motorcycle ride, I'll probably be taking it on my next overseas flight too! If you're looking to improve the comfort of your ride, without the cost of buying a whole new seat, you really can't go wrong with an Airhawk pad. It will take you a few rides to get the amount of air tuned in but, once you do, the difference it makes in your riding comfort is nothing short of absolutely amazing. I'm not exaggerating in the least when I tell you that before using the Airhawk, I would climb off my cruiser after only 50 miles and not want to sit down again for a good 20 minutes because, my backside was just that soar. Since getting my Airhawk, I've twice taking off on a full tank for a day of joy riding, and only realized I'd been in the saddle for nearly 150 miles, because I had to switch over to my reserves. Money well spent.

Super fast delivery, 48 hrs. Great product as I can tell after short time. Appears to be comfortable, longer ride coming up on weekend. Quality is very good. Straps work well (BMW R1200GS), appears at first a little large, but fits great with the seat in the back position.

Non pensavo potesse essere così utile! Nella guida fino al sud Marocco mi ha letteralmente salvato la schiena! Inoltre, dato che la moto Bmw 700 affittata localmente a marrachesch era bassa di sella ( sono alto 1,83), Il cuscino mi ha rialzato un po’ da terra con ottimo beneficio! Ovviamente come da buon senso, il cuscino va gonfiato solo a metà circa... non ho però capito la parte interna gonfiabile come deve essere posizionata in seduta, ovvero se dal lato liscio o a cubi gonfiati in evidenza per la parte a contatto con la sella...

passt und funktioniert hervorragend

Having recently returned from a week biking in France I could have done with this piece of kit. Since purchasing it the comfort of sitting on a motorcycle for a lengthy period of time has improved greatly. A really good product.

Excelente producto! F 750gs queda bien. Se dobla un poco en la parte frontal pero no afecta. Creo la mejor forma de saber si esta inflado correctamente es lo mínimo sin sentir que te resvalas de lado a lado
