Better than 'Air Hawk' - The 'NEW AIR RIDER' MotorBike Seat cushion 'The Air Bed For Your Bum'
@MotorBikeTV
This is my initial review - a longer ride test will be following in a couple of weeks - but if you ask me, I'd say......"just buy one it is superb"
www.AirRider.co.uk
The AirRider is the only SELF-INFLATING air cell comfort pad on the market and has been developed by motorcycle seat specialists Saddle Craft who are well respected in the UK motorcycle trade.
It has a patented valve where by the simple touch of a button you can instantly inflate/deflate to adjust comfort levels on the go, making it ideal for touring as well as providing an answer to uncomfortable stock seats. It comes in three different sizes as well as a pillion version which will cover everything from sports bikes to cruisers.
AirRider’s are 100% manufactured in the UK from high quality non-slip vinyl and heavy-duty polyurethane bladder with a singular air cell design. Having a single air cell allows for greater performance and feel whilst riding, especially when leaning the bike, where other air cushions of multi-chamber design often cause excessive rocking motion when changing body position.
Only a minimal amount of air is actually needed to create a gap between the rider and motorcycle which acts as a shock absorber, helping dissipate vibrations that come up through the saddle whilst riding.
An uncomfortable saddle or seating position can be a serious distraction and can easily contribute to ‘rider fatigue’ and become a rider safety issue, especially those who ride distance or professionally. The AirRider therefore helps the user cover much greater distances without this distraction and has been proven through 40,000+ test miles.
No maintenance is required, and quick release straps are provided to allow the AirRider to be detached without having to remove the seat first. Designed by bikers, for bikers.

That seat pad looks awesome! I really need one of these in my life! If only I could find a way to to get one, I'd even be happy to carry advertising on my bike!

Hi there and nice video btw. About the Airrider seat. Its just the same as the cheap Self-inflating seat cushion you get from auto/camping stores for 5£. Of course the airrider fits a little bit better and have a nicer finish, but for around 95£ less the cheap one will do just fine.

It really is very good in all aspects - from quality to results - let me know if you are as I might be able to get you a 'deal' :-)
Kevin, I tend to slip forward on my Africa twin because of the shape of the seat. Did you find by using the air rider that it did away with the slope on the seat?

This would literally save my ass on my first ever week long adventure which I am currently planning for my 30th birthday in October. Basic budget. Basic bike bandit 600. 10 countries in seven days if the countries are open by then. The goal : stelvio pass. After being inspired and slightly envious of motorbike travellers for the last few years. It now feels like the stars have a lined hopefully 😀

The cushion is offered in different sizes. An ADV bike typically has a narrower seat than a street bike. I have a KTM790 adv R, which probably has a seat width similar to the Africa Twin. What size did you get for your bike?

Hi Ronald - it’s a medium 😎
Looks like a good product. I have a Kawasaki W800 and am thinking of either getting one of these or having memory foam inserts fitted in the saddle (will look better) but I get numb bum quite quickly nowadays and do you think this will really help. It might also help with the tendency to slip forward with the stock seat

I didn’t use one with my Africa Twin the seat was ok without - but mine was a 2018 - the 2020 version seat was harder but didn’t like the bike so never used one - I’d say cruiser size though 🙏🏻
How does it inflate? I have a 2015 Triumph trophy SE. great bike but after two hours my butt is numb. Guess this is better than Airhawk? Wonder why motorcycle manufacturers don’t put more comfortable seats on bikes.

Hi - it self inflates through a valve - like a self inflating sleeping mat for camping - so it is superb for getting your comfort zone correct :-)
Did you feel a bit disconnected from the bike? Cheers
