    Airhawk R and Beadrider

    Not really a comparison but a video of the benefits of each, in my humble opinion:

    In Texas BeadRider is the only way to go in the summertime. I sell alot of these from June thru September.

    I've had the regular AirHawk for 5 years and can attest to its comfort on the long rides. Works as intended.

    I use both, they both have their benefits as I have found in City riding the Beadrider is more useful since you're more likely to get caught in slower traffic and the open mesh doesn't need a lot of air to be effective. On the longer runs I find the Airhawk R is extremely effective. Then again I have friends who have done Iron Butt and swear by the Beadrider.

    I've used both as well on past bikes. I'm not currently using either on the "B" because it raises my seat height and I'm sitting as high as I'd like already. Besides, I'm plenty comfortable with my Ultimate Mid Rider seat .

    With my vertical challenged legs I feel the same way. However, I find nothing wrong with the stock seat. Maybe the Jap that designed the seat has the same size arse as me!

    COMFORT

    I vote for the AIRHAWK for the long ride. Been to Canada From Maryland and nothing beat the AIRHAWK.

    No arguments here, I'll be doing another cross country in July and the Airhawk R will definitely be on my seat.

    nice anal beads

    I've been using the same BeadRider now for over 12 years.
    That's 4 bikes and approximately 110,000+ miles.
    Great product, great price!
