Did a 400 mile round trip up to North Yorkshire yesterday with the Airhawk fitted. Started with what I thought was not much air in it (as per advice), but turns out that was still too much! I ended up letting some air out on three occasions to get it right, but got there in the end. Main thing is my arse was in top condition at the end of the day. :D

I did consider the pillion version, but thought long and hard about the Ten's seat - although it looks narrow, you'd be surprised when you sit on it and compress the foam how much wider it actually gets! (Not far off the width of the small cruiser Airhawk). I appreciate that an Airhawk won't work for everyone, as no two people are the same shape!

i bought an Airhawk in the end and tested it on a 1200 ile trip. I bought the medium cruiser.

When putting it on the seat it looks to big, and at first a had to much air in which pushes out into your thighs.

Plus...the front strap doesnt fit the Ten as the seat is so narrow. With it fully adjusted to the smallest / tightest setting it still isnt tight enough to be tight against the seat.

So i use an elastic band on the front :)

i must say though it saves your arse! once you figure out the air thing and get used to sitting on it (which doesnt take long) its magic!

i love it, highly recommend one.

Same problem - I cut the front strap one side and re-stitched it making it shorter.

I just tied a knot in the strap to shorten it
