What do you think? Azonic Love Seat, .243, Marzocchi Karve, or THE DH. I'd like to get the .243, but it's kinda hard to find. Strengh and softness are what I'm looking for. They say a harder saddle is better for long rides, but I'm often not in the saddle and when i sit down i would like my seat to comfort me. TIA

The Azonic is HUGE! Seriously, it is one of the largest seats on the market. So is the BMW seat, MASSIVE.

go 243 if you can find one :)

I like my women like I like my Scotch. 15 years old and mixed up with coke.

My .243 seat looks good…but the rails are complete butter. Maybe it's only mine, but the rails collapsed from the bike being flung off a case and landing on the seat. However, now that they have "settled in" I can bend the rear of the seat up to make it more comfortable for climbing and i can bend it back down so I can lean back behind the bike easier for the descent.

…it sounds stupid, but it's actually kinda cool :lol:

I've actually found that I hate oversize seats, so I'll probably be buying another SDG belair when I get funds.

I ride a Titec Kevlar Berserker and find its one of the best seats ever…not overly soft but soft enough that when you are on it its not diggin in. Not too big but no cross contry saddle either and all for about 80$CDN…

For Sale: 2003 Manitou Sherman Breakout 6" - 1.5 w/FSA PIG 1.5 Headset, Med and Firm springs, all in mint condition for 1000$ CDN OBO.

I HATE oversized seats like the Azonic, I much prefer a well padded jump saddle like my 24/7.
