In addition to the inseam, the weight of the rider, luggage weight on the bike and boots/shoes one wears while riding also matter. I have an inseam of 29 inches and I weigh 94Kgs. I have done multiple test rides on the Himalayan with the standard 825mm seat. I felt more comfortable when I was wearing my boots which add another 0.5 to 0.75 inches. With canvas shoes I had trouble if I had to put my foot down suddenly in traffic and had to slightly lean the bike over to have my feet touch the tarmac. I feel I would be able to flat foot it with the 810mm seat.

@NewsXAuto

Of course, these things add up, but the fact is that anyone with an inseam lower than 30 inches would not have it easy, irrespective of his weight and other factors. Moreover, you won't be able to flat foot on the low seat. It's just 1.5 cm lower. That's not even in an inch. An inch is 2.54 cm 😊

Beautifully explained.

@@virupakshawalla5734 Coming from a line of SBK(Superbikes), anything which is even a little more soft and cushiony feels out of place. It's a common misconception that a softer foam is better, it is for the first 3000 km or so, after which the foam starts to sink and press down until it reaches its threshold beyond which it won't compress and that's when it becomes uncomfortable. Shaving off the foam doesn't mean I am not adding anything, any "GOOD" seat maker will always add a layer of thinner yet firmer foam that doesn't compress as much to avoid the remaining material from sinking further. But if the stock seat for the Himalayan feels firm to you then I am guessing you probably ride something with a couch on it

Well I was riding it without any mods for the first week of getting it and honestly it became quite easy to manage even in bumper to bumper traffic. The reason for shaving off the seat was mainly because I just prefer a firmer seat, the height reduction was an added bonus which "yes" made it easier to maintain with more confidence that I could stop it in case of sudden hault.

Today i did test the seat height and its weird. I sat on the test ride vehicle with 825mm seat and could tip toe both sides but half foot on one side alone. When i sat on a new vehicle with 825mm and its tip toe one side while another leg is on air by 2 inches at least. I sat on a new vehicle with an 805mm seat and it was the same. I fitted an 805mm seat to test ride the vehicle by replacing the stock 825mm in that vehicle. Apparently 805 and 825 mm seats are the same tip toeing on both the sides in the test ride vehicle. Now the weird part is how seat 825mm when used lowers the foam or makes it firm so easily which matches the 805 mm new seat. Now in the dilemma whether to opt for such a difference or not. Not sure how long it takes to make the seat cushion firmer in the new vehicle. I went sat on NX500 apparently it is also the same kind of tip toeing on both sides however it is easy to manage compared to himalayan 450
