1299 Just How Comfy Is The Dp Seat Compared To That Razorblade Oem One?

I have them DP race seat on the 899. I prefer it massively to the standard. It's grippier and thicker. It changes the riding position a lot though. Dunno if you're talking about the race seat or the comfort seat.

 

Same as camelfarmer......i have the race seat and find it a massive improvement in terms of comfort and grippiness. Ive never tried the comfort seat so can't comment

 

Iirc the race and comfort seat were two different items, its been awhile tho

 

Two different seats. I've never tried the comfort but the race is a massive improvement. Especially if you're tall as it's quite a bit higher so gives more legroom

 

Have you tried a custom seat maker? often they will tailor the foam and gel pads to your requirements and for not a lot of sheckles? Melboy and tony archer come to mind as well as digger

seen this one too ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-D...282321?hash=item3ae5d89fd1:g:xuEAAOSwcgNZLJSV

 

Standard seat is too slippery. Comfort seat is firmer and adds about 30mm to the seat height. But I have to say for me the comfort seat isn't really more comfortable. I am a keen cyclist and am used to sitting on hard race saddles for hours at a time on my pushbike. I find I develop a numb bum if I sit on the comfort seat all day. There's too much pressure on the perineum. I haven't tried the race seat.

 

That's the comfort seat mate

 

Actually I'm not sure what seat that is. Looks like the race seat but the description says it's neither the comfort or race. Put a pic of your seat up mate

 

The one on the eBay link is a standard 1299 seat the top pic is a standard 1199 seat. The seat was changed slightly on the 1299 and possibly 899 too?
They do a dp comfort and race seat I have the comfort seat on my 1199 and it's much better than standard. I would imagine the dp race seat is a similar profile to your standard 1299 seat.
This is the comfort seat

 

"Comfort seat" most ironic named product ever, stick with the race seat is my advice

 

This maybe a tight arse (pardon the pun) help.On longer runs, I've often used cyclists gel shorts under the leathers but ontop of pants or boxers. They offer wicking too so in general are a very adaptable piece of kit

These ones are not the cheapest but you get my drift and others and other prices are available http://www.wiggle.co.uk/endura-xtract-gel-shorts/

 

I have the comfort seat, I cant compare it with the standard, I had it fitted before I rode with the standard, it ain't comfortable by any means but isn't that the nature of the beast ?

My next point of call is to get the standard seat refurbed to suit

 

I have a dp comfort seat I'm happy to sell you can try on for size, it's a bit too tall for me as I'm 5' 6" on a good day. I may be around snells area Saturday, before a trip to oyb.
