I imagine these would be a great combo of all Cruzbike's good points. Make the seat incline to around 30 deg. Install Thor seat with neckrest. Keep 42 chainring. Change RD to Eagle GX 12 speed with 10/52 cassette. Change wheels to light carbon wheels with XD driver. Change to air shock. This...

I think the message from this thread is that the Thor seat solves recumbutt for some folks, but not others. It did solve it for me. I think Black Hawk Down is right that what really helps is a lower angle & lower weight. My Thor on the 2018 Q45 is at about 33 degrees, and that puts most of my...

I wish Cruzbike would offer a 27 deg S40. I'd order one instantly.

...angle and subsequent weight distribution slightly but adding padding at the front of the seat seems to work the best for me. YMMV of course. The Thor seat was great when I had my Silvio 2.0+ as it raised my shoulders slightly, but the stock seat's 27 degree angle was fine...no recumbutt at all.

I have a V20 and S40 Cruzbikes. No pain on the V20 no matter how far I ride. The S40 gives me recumbutt after 30-40 miles and I have to get off and stretch a bit. Recumbutt is nothing like the pain of riding a DF bike. It doesn't cause and rashes or damage to the prostrate. It's just muscle...

The Thor seat will not fix recumbutt. I use one and it is more comfortable in other ways, but the angle is made even steeper with it. Recumbutt is angle and weight. Lower angle and lower weight is the only fix I know for recumbutt. I have no issues with my V20, no matter how far I ride. The...

I did get relief from the Recumbutt when I changed out to the thor seat.

This is my experience with the V20 and S40 respectively. However, much of the recumbutt on the S40 has been relieved by extending the sliding front seat section fully forward which gives me the most reclined position I can get on it. I do enjoy riding my S40 and did so in the annual BikeMS150...

...a little more onerous on the S40 (but still quite a bit better than what DF riders suffer). Two added quirks for me: First, I get zero recumbutt on the V20, a tiny bit of it, sometimes, on the S30, but it always goes away after 15 minutes, and progressively worsening recumbutt on the S40...

you must be prepared to accept that a new seat may not solve your issue. if it’s just recumbutt maybe you can live with it by simply stopping and walking around. also riding a lot seems to lesson the experience of recumbutt. seats are such a personal experience and manufacturers have more...

...hard I find myself trying to lock my position with my arms and stabilizers them noticeably within a short period of time. Second, the recumbutt sets in sooner than on my Cruzbike conversion kit in my avatar which has the more basic two-piece seat in a similar angle but the seat pan is less...

...improves, maneuverability and climbing power increases but then we place more pressure on the glutes which we need to pedal, resulting in recumbutt. Bicycle design is about compromise, a fine balance between efficiency and comfort. S40 is a fine fast bicycle once the comfort and fit is...

Nice ! The seat almost looks like two in one!

...of time (as many of you did) trying to get the seating comfortable, not too reclined for the neck, not too upright for the lower back and recumbutt, etc, etc. The curvature of the Thor seat was much better than the stock seat but the depth of the contour felt excessive. I wasted a bunch of...

Thanks @Don1. Unfortunately my home-made roller experiment did not work as intended. The rolling resistance was so bad , I could hardly make a few pedal strokes ! o_O. I abandoned the project. (I think it needs higher precision, bigger diameter rolllers with smoother bearings). My "hot foot"...

...took a while to get used to how narrow it is. The head is more angled back(looking down the nose a bit) compared to you. I did have a little recumbutt early on but km fix that especially with ventist seems to mold to you after a while. (It's nothing compared to getting used to a road...

I think this should be a useful thread all together about how to fix recumbutt on S40 and other fit issues). Lets discuss. I've never ridden a V20 but Iam blessed to have a S40 gifted to me by some great friends here. I love my S40 and I ride it alot despite my initial fit and hotfoot...

...S40 and I ride it alot despite my initial fit and hotfoot issues. I can personally confirm that the S40 with the stock seat indeed has a recumbutt issue (probably not affecting everyone). But I believe it can be fixed or reduced. I think it is cuased by the shape and design of the stock seat...

...way from Poland by parcel post I would have returned it. But I rode it for a while and totally learned to love it. Now 3 years in. Fixed my recumbutt, that's for sure. Just makes it more comfortable to sit on the bike for hours. Mine (GS seat easy) has an aggressive lower back bulge...

I doubt this seat will improve recumbutt. As for shorts, I prefer ones without chamois, like https://www.boure.com/recumbent.html I often ride with tights meant for running and such.
