Though this illustrates the extent to which different physiologies will like different seats... Personally I find the standard HP seat to be really comfortable, but have never got really happy in a Bodylink despite its much vaunted adjustability. My wife prefers Nazca's Fiero seat to either HP seat, and so on. Pete. I know what you mean, the HP which I bought for my bike, was OK, but my AB seat is very comfortable, I tried the Nazca and I agree with your wife it is good. The carbon seat that Power On Cycles cells is also good. |

I like the way the HP seat supports my shoulders while Roos likes the way the Fiero's seat is cut away from hers: purely down to personal preference.

Your wife has a point regarding the shoulder area. I have read on many forums that women need a seat that is narrow so that the shoulder blades bypass the seat sides. I am not sure but maybe a womens shoulder blades protrude farther than most guys. I had tried a seat on my friends bike and he bought it as a part years ago from a bent head. Well as soon as I sat on it I was having pains in the shoulders. Turned out that it was a very wide seat and just hit me in the wrong place. In a perfect world we would be able to sit in a special seat that would make a mold for a custom seat. So no two seats are alike. |

While it's certainly true that women are different shapes to men, what seems to be less well appreciated by marketing and design folk is that women are also different shapes to... other women!

If I had the time and the place to do it, I would be making a body mold and then lay up some Carbon fiber and produce a perfect seat. |

Sort of like a prized Jaguar - Ferarri - Lotus - Lamborghini to a car fanatic. Costs a lot more, but not worth more than $1000. to a non- bent fanatic! |
