Seat comparison- S1-S2-Bagster

[fazil]

I recently bought a French Bagster brand comfort seat from ebay. Before that i had changed the original seat with an upgraded European S2 seat.


Comparison of the 3 seat types,

Original S1 seat is slippery, and the cover looks very cheap with many shining holes i don't know what's the function of those tiny ugly holes.

European S2 seat seemed very nice to me after the origal slippery seat. I guess the main difference is just the cover. Much more better looking then the original S1 one. Hardness is the same in both. Matt black colour doesn't shine like the S1 seat.

Bagster is softer and mor juicy, it takes the shape of the toto. (ass in Turkish) It feels comfortable. Cover looks very nice and isn't slippery. But it is expensive.

I see that in US, all the bikes came with S1 seats. I would recommend to cover them as soon as possible to get rid of the slippering and cheap looking S1 covers.

How about passenger part? Slippery or not?

For passengers S2 and Bagster seats are not slippery like S1.
And Bagster feels extra comfortable like a cushion for passenger.

Well. I had S1. Switched to S2. My back sits more firmly but pillon was slippery like on S1. Had to buy a Triboseat cover.

Those straps on the sides and the upper part of the seat are against slippery.
Like friction zones.

Well. They didn't work for me. I have my old S1 seat lying around. For half of Bagster price I think I might have it re-covered and with inside change.

A standout beautiful bike! Looks upscale with the inverted forks. Congratulations.

sweet bike, thanks for posting the differences :thumbup:

if I'm not mistaken they can't get the S2 saddle in the US (as shown in the pics), but I'm not sure if they still have the S1 saddle?

I love my S2 saddle :rockon: (but I never carry a pillion).
