Anyone tried the new(ish?) Air x seat from acerbis? Looks pretty cool in the ability to control the firmness by setting the air pressure to whatever you want.

Will def be trying this new one out ASAP.
JK, that is pretty interesting. Seems like a cool idea. I think the original one was already a tad heavy, so I assume this may be even more? Not that it's a huge deal. But it looks like a lot of thought went into it. I'd like to hear some reviews.

Some folks think they are stiff, I don't agree. I don't feel any difference when riding.
no idea how much heavier though. i hate the idea of adding any additional weight for something.
Pit Row
if i remember when my new bike comes in I will weigh the stock vs the one w/ 40 hrs on it.
really want to try one of these seats just to try something different. not sure how hideous it will be or not. just hate to add excessive weight when i spend money on things to decrease it. seems counter productive. but at end of the day i know a pound or 2 isnt going to make a difference on my lap times lol
The only way to keep it that way is to go through probably 3 or 4 sets of foams and seat covers per season or get the X-seat. I'm not loaded with money (3-4 sets of high quality foams + covers is a lot of money) so the gained weight of the X-seat is something i can accept.
I'll probably get a SXF 350 soon and the X-seat is the first thing i will order for it.
You will just need to go through some seat covers on the ktm, the grip is shitty.
I highly recommend you Selle Dalla Valle seat covers, they are amazing.
Doing seat covers sucks and it eliminates that work.
Its a good conversation piece at the track, so far thats about it. Everyone says its ugly, a few people like it, lol.
Its heavier than stock, I weighed them just for the hell of it.
20 yz450f stock seat w/ a motoseat cover on it was 2lb 8.8oz, the x seat was 3lb 9 oz, so a little over a pound heavier. nothing id ever notice on a bike, but then when you spend $1000 on the ti exhaust you're questioning why you'd add weight with a seat lol
here it is on my 21 250f, never put it on my 450 and tried it.
