Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Any opinions on the Air Hawk 2 seat cushion ?

Not sure where to post this. It's for a friend of mine in SE Asia who will be doing a marathon ride from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur in 2-3 days. He's also hoping to get an iron butt badge. He's a pretty experienced biker, having ridden quite a bit in SE Asia.

Anyway, he asked me if I know anything about this Air Hawk 2 seat cushion. I know nothing about them and figured I'd ask some of the more experienced folks here.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

I had one for a couple of years. It helped for a while on each long ride but after a while it seemed to simply transfer the pain to different spots. It also makes you ride just a little higher. I used it once on a 5,000 mile in two weeks ride. OK for a day or so but I left it in the bag after that. I'm not sure if it was my Corbin or my butt that got broken in after a few days. Some people love them.

Hi I had an Airhawk 2 seat pad, it did help a bit with the pain but I didn't like the feel. As previously said I felt I was sat on the bike rather than in the bike if you know what I mean. I sold it and had a gel pad put in to the seat which I think worked better, I have now added a sheepskin cover to the seat but Ive yet to go on a long run using both, but I did prefer the gel pad to the Airhawk 2.
