Best seat for Husky?

[GlennRMK]

Have a 19 Husky FX450 and I love the grip of the stock seat but its pretty firm for snowbike duty

Is the Seat Concepts the way to go?

I see there is a factory soft seat now. I have the KTM Powerparts seat for my KTM (which I assume would at least be the same foam material) and its pretty comfy, but I rarely sit when riding dirt.

Guts?

My buddy likes the Enduro Engineering seat.

Any thoughts?

Seat Concepts on my Husky and Yamaha before that.
Idk if the others are better but Seat concepts is comfortable and great quality, perfect fit.

For the money I would look at the Enduro Engineering soft seat that we sell. I have one on my KTM 300 and it's fantastic! Stock height/SOFT.

$165

Seat Concepts wide body XL comfort series seat on the KTM. Yes, 1000% worth it !

Thanks for the replies.

Was debating the Seat Concepts but they were back ordered from Rocky Mountain. Ended up finding the factory soft seat for $100, so I went that route. I'm pretty happy with the KTM version so hopefully it works out. I also like the grip of the factory cover and didn't want to loose that.

Hopefully it works well.

Do yourself a favor and sit on a seat concepts seat when you get a chance.

Here’s my experience. On a 2016 sxf450 snowbiking.
1: fisher widebody seat (less grippy)

2: seat concepts comfort (more grippy)






Distant 3rd guts racing soft


(Not much difference between these below)
4: Ktm soft
5: enduro engineering seat
6: 2x4 doug fir
7: 6 days edition seat
8: stock seat.

Interesting

My buddy had the seat concepts and took it off and liked the EE better

I would like to work on making myself stand more. I almost always stand on dirt but it feels awkward on snow. My biggest complaint about snowbiking is sitting all the time and would prefer to stand. Definitely prefer the snowmobile in that regard.

I stand up going down a whooped out road. I stand up when I’m about to hit a big G out. And I stand up when I’m about to hit the face of a jump through the landing. Other than that our current snow bikes just favor of seating position.
I also set a lot on my dirtbike. I’m not racing. Mostly just fast singletrack trail riding but the more I can sit the more energy I can save. Stand up when I need to. Still go pretty fast sitting down. The other day I was chasing my buddy who was standing the whole time and I was laughing because I was sitting following him. We all like to think we stand all the time on our dirt bikes but we don’t.

Stock seat on both bikes. I know this isn’t the popular answer.

 

[GlennRMK]

I absolutely despise sitting on a dirt bike. Unless I'm going walking speed or less and know I will have to stop and dab, I just feel like I have no control. Standing feels so much better. I try to only sit if its really gnarly where I know I am going to need to dab and paddle. I guess when I'm just cruising down a dirt road I sit occasionally.

I feel like you never really can dab in deep snow on snowbike, so maybe I should be trying to stand?

It will be nice when the design of snow bikes allows us to stand more. Seems like the CMX is best for that right now. For some reason, the geometry on a Snowbike just feels awkward standing. Back to topic though a little bit, the guys I ride with that have a seat concepts seat love them.

You probably have well developed callouses. ?

Factory soft seat showed up today (Part # 25107940500). Definitely a noticeably softer foam. Seems pretty equivalent to my KTM power parts soft seat.

Excited to try it out this season. Just need snow now!
