    Don't be worried as it may be perfect for you. I had the luxury of mounting and sitting on both at a rally where Ultimate was set up as a vendor. Mathematically, the Mid was the recommended seat for me at 6'. However, I felt like it had me too far forward, crowding me up on the "tank" and creating too much bend in my knees. I was used to siting further back so I opted for the King instead which gave me the space I was used to having. I even installed bar risers that brought them back to me and am satisfied with the results. Fortunately Ultimate had a great return policy that will allow options.

    Make sure you double check the return policy for YOUR seat. I did not have a good experience and it cost me....but it seems that most others have had great results.

    I'm 5'10" and my inseam is 30". The Ultimate king seat works well for me. It's not as big as I thought.

    Well, the Midrider came. I’ve ridden about a hundred miles on it. It’s a good fit. Definitely a keeper!

    Excellent! It will actually settle in and get better with time. Enjoy!
