Pressure points and the burning sensation I used to get after only a couple hours riding are pretty much gone. I have to agree, it is honestly the ONLY seating surface that allows me to ride all day for hundreds of miles. After a good friend who rides many more miles than I do started ranting about his new Airhawk R, I finally splurged for one too. I have tried everything….expensive after market seats, the beads, sheepskin, and even a home made foam cushion. I’m not getting any younger or any lighter, and I need comfort at this stage of the game. I got my AirHawk R and a smaller pillion for my passenger from Lee Parks Design. ROHO Inc., AirHawk’s parent company, offers a 36-month limited warranty on the AirHawk R for defects in materials and workmanship. AirHawk offers a 60-day money back guarantee for any reason through the original U.S. It will increase the seat height a tad so expect that, but I didn’t find it to be an issue.Īll AirHawk products come with an owner’s manual and a patch kit, should it ever be needed. But, the AirHawk is not meant for knee-draggers it’s meant for comfort. It literally takes a minute to install.Īre there downsides? The squish factor can make enthusiastic sport riding (read: “hanging off”) a bit sketchy since the AirHawk doesn’t easily facilitate sliding across the saddle. I keep my AirHawk R in my saddlebag with the straps pre-adjusted. Long-haul truckers, military pilots and construction equipment operators quickly adopted it, since the Dry Floatation system also isolates vibration and shock, and it’s perfect for long-distance rides. The design also provides adequate passages around and between the individual cells, allowing constant fresh air to circulate between the rider and the seat, keeping the AirHawk cool.ĪirHawk technology was designed for daylong wheelchair users to ameliorate pressure ulcers and chair sores. This air movement relieves pressure on hot spots and spreads additional support over more surface area. The egg-crate cells allow rider pressure to “squish” air from cell to cell. Imagine an inflatable egg-crate of large interconnected air cells.

Instantly, it’s like I have a new seat.ĪirHawk technology is ingenious, a crossover from high-end medical technology. It only takes a minute or two to inflate and install at a gas stop. That’s when I bust out the AirHawk Comfort Seating System. It’s not enough of a butt pain to replace, but it can be a distraction over successive high-mileage days. There must be a better way! One of my bikes has a stock seat that is “pretty” comfortable for 90 percent of my riding miles. Seats are perhaps the most replaced factory parts in the riding world.
