Triboseat Rider Review
October 18th, 2008
Triboseat recently sent me one of their new “Rider” seat covers for testing. I have ridden about 200 miles now with it fitted and can confirm that it does exactly what they say in the description on their website. Basically your bum stays planted on the saddle and does not slide backwards and forwards when braking and accelerating. For your average Buell rider the braking aspect really does help. My arms no longer have to cope with my excessive weight, instead my weight is transferred through my bum cheeks on to the saddle area and I’m telling you now, it doesn’t budge. Now I can concentrate more on the handling of the bike instead of gripping the bike with my arms and legs. I’m finding it hard explaining how it all works but it does.
On the acceleration front its great too. My Son no longer has to put up with me moving about on the saddle as we cruise the country lanes of East Anglia. He’s been planted for a while courtesy of another Triboseat cover on the pillion seat so now neither of us move about unless we want to.
Fitting is a breeze. All you need to do is pop you’re saddle off, slip the cover over the riders contact area and pop the saddle back on the bike. Job done! Thanks to Patricia @ Triboseat for supplying Fatbiker with the Rider for review. Priced at £12.99, its a worthy addition to any bike.
