Rider Comfort
-
Supportive for Rider: Most riders report good comfort for solo riding, including longer commutes or short highway runs. Its firmness helps in reducing bottom numbness and provides decent back support.
Pillion Experience
-
Less Comfortable for Passenger: The raised pillion seat is firmer with minimal foam, leading to discomfort beyond short rides. Many report leg fatigue and an uncomfortable seating posture.
-
No Back Support: Lack of grab rails or handholds further diminishes comfort and stability for pillion riders.
Aftermarket Improvements
-
Seat Repacking Popular: Taller riders in Bangalore had their Aerox seats reshaped and more foam added enhancing comfort for extended rides but slightly compromising rear space.
-
Touring Replacement Seats: Options like the Aerox155 V2 Touring Seat offer premium foam, wider shape, and upgraded stitching. These aftermarket units are designed specifically for improved long-distance comfort.
