Airhawk2

[belford]

Just had my first long ride on my NCX 3 hours, and got a little saddle sore. Planning a trip from Ontario to PEI at end of June and have read some good feedback about the Airhawk 2. Does anybody have any experience with it and what size would you recommend?

Yes mate i have one. Best money i ever spent. Went from 1 hour with the stock seat to 4 hours at a time with the airhawk. I'm 6"6 and 250 pounds too so I'm no lightweight.......

Careful of the "2" model. It has a PVC bladder and an inflation valve that are not as durable as the original.

The AirHawk R Motorcycle seat pad will work fabulously for you. I have one and it is like it is made for the NC700X. And it fits in the frunk to boot.

I think the medium would be best. My medium the cat tore, so I am using the pillion right now. I may have to order one of the R versions now.

The "AIRHAWK R" is close to their Medium Size (only comes in one size) and fits perfectly.

I couldn't get away with mine. all this rolling squishy washy stuff no matter how low I got it even it almost empty still end up with bum ache.
so I sold it on.got the seat redone on my er6f and that made a difference so I may get my nc done by the same bloke and it was cheaper than airhawky rubbery thingy.

Thanks for your input everybody. I purchased the AIRHAWK R and it is performing perfectly. I did a long ride yesterday 3 hours and could easily have ridden 3 more.

I bought the AIRHAWK R, it fits ths NC seat nice. With the airhawk r, cusion on its a very good ride compared to the stock NC seat. The only issue is those with a short inseam may not be able to use the Airhawk R seat cusion. I have a 30" inseam,and at a stop I have to stand tipy toe to touch the ground.

I don't have any experience with the R but the original Airhawk was supposed to work with next to no air in it. If you are getting a significant rise with the cushion, you may have it over-inflated.
