Seat upgrade for rocky technical riding?
#11
After four days of 3-10 mph riding on rocky trails I am hitting the A&D ointment pretty hard. 2009 KLX250S, so the foam is 6 yrs old.
Would another seat help? I am lean, and wear "Mens Basic Bike Short Padded Cycling Shorts" Amazon.com: Mens Basic Padded Bike Short Cycling Shorts Biking Pant - Made in USA: Clothing and Klim Mojave ITB pants.
The shorts are great for mountain biking and I don't have any problems there. Usually I alternate days of MTB and moto, which provides a butt break.
Four days straight of moto in rocks was not good. Maybe its just a physics and physiology thing, but I am wondering if there is some technology that would help... besides A&D diaper ointment. Which is full of lanolin (wool grease) and very good stuff.
This review liked the Seat Concepts for highway, but not trail:

I think 70mph offroad means *off-highway*? Experiences with hard bouncing trail riding appreciated. (Of course I stand up, but not for 6-8 hrs.) I ride as little on smooth surfaces as possible, and the stock seat feels fine there.
Sounds like the SC just takes some contact cement, or is it worth paying them $20 to install?
Thanks
