update
Hi All,
so I've ridden a fair amount, still not long trips, on this new seat. It is comfortable. My biggest issue with it is that it is so slippery with the textile pants. With a fast stop you slide up to the tank, no matter how much you try to grip with your thighs. In cold weather, the heated seat cannot keep up with the airflow. So, comfortable to ride on, but issues with the two things mentioned. I'm glad I kept my original seat so that I can swap it out in the fall to spring weather time frame (here near the Vancouver BC region).
Hi All,
I have had the Kontour for a few months now. But have not put many miles on it, yet.
So far I find it very cool (lots of airflow so no sticking to the seat). This is not the best in a cold climate (the seat heating can't beat the air flow) but will be good when it gets hot.
The material is mesh and very slippery with my BMW Motorrad textile pants - good and bad with that - you would have to judge for yourself. Comfort seems good, but I have not ridden it long enough in one stretch to really get a sense of that. As soon as I do a road trip, probably July, I will do another post and let everyone know how I find the seat.
Ride Safe.
