I've made similar changes to my QX100. The seat is now nearly the same angle as my S40, and I've put the same handlebars I have on the S40 with a backwards facing 145mm stem. I switched the 155mm crank to 26/36. Loved actually using the small cogs for the first time in years, but pretty quickly...

...back-to-back rides of 79 miles and 65 miles on the S40 with the stock seat and by the end of the 65 mile ride I had a pretty bad case of "recumbutt". I'll note that I did both of these rides with very little stopped time which undoubtedly contributed. I experienced the same thing with my...

...needing to take a break, and more aero? Peer pressure was never even a consideration. Which brings me back to the topic. Saddle Sore or "recumbutt" is going to happen if you stay on any bike long enough. My legs were fine to keep me at a 30kph (18mph) pace for up to 8 hours on the flats but...

Definitely a distance touring rig. Mounted a Blackburn front rack as a rear pannier rack and put two panniers on it. Zero recumbutt. Had to remain cognizant of my position on the seat. In the middle of my ride, I had slid down such that I was effectively laying on my back, staring at the sky and...

...quick. The lower handlebars allow my arms to remain closer to my body. The recline on the seat takes the pressure off of my sit bones. No recumbutt. It feels as if there's less wind resistance, although this may just be my imagination. I took the rig out for a short 15 mile run to the grocery...

...has taken a beating and some of the weldments have broken off. I'm trying to lose weight and if successful, I would like to move off the Q45 and back on the S40 again. I like the bike better but right now I can't handle the recumbutt. Oh, and when will Cruzbikes have AI integrated...

...this Q45 to be similar to my V2/K. With that bike, I had managed to get the seat to be cradled inside the frame, giving me both a great vantage for seeing the road ahead as well as being able to use the seat back power pedaling while avoiding recumbutt. I rode almost 10,000 miles on that bike.

...They don't like doing onesie-twosie's. Not enough market for them. I've given up motorizing the Q45. My only problem with the S40 is the recumbutt, which is mostly due to my weight (230 lbs). My natural weight is around 165 lbs. Now with GLP-1 drugs, I may be able to get there if I can...

...as a suspension and used a Ventisit 3mm cushion over that. It was pretty good, even after 2-1/2 hours of steady riding I had only a little recumbutt pain. The narrow back rest was quite noticeable though. With the Thor Carrier pan and matching Ventisit pad the seat pan is noticeably better...

I get no recumbutt on my V20, a little bit on my last generation S30, but it usually goes away after 15 minutes, and got it badly enough on my S40 that I had to sell it. I like my S30, but yeah, it's not really designed to carry much more than just the rider. I liked the flexibility built into...

I agree 100%. The perfect touring bike is an S40 that is 30 degrees (S30) The Silvio wasn't really set up for touring like the S40. I have converted my Q45 to be a 30 deg angle and it works well except it's 50 lbs with all the touring racks on it.

I have an older V20, no recumbutt, nor was it an issue on my S30 (recently destroyed in an accident). Recumbutt is an issue with my Q45 (after 30-40 minutes of riding), even with the seat lowered as much as possible. Have resorted to wearing padded shorts like the upright guys do. That seems to...

I agree - You will have less chance of recumbutt on an S40 since the angle is less - However, for those who still get it, I have found a little extra padding under the seat cushion also helps. As far as your neck goes - the S40 also has a neck rest which helps out. Please reach out to me at...

My S40 is quite comfortable. No recumbutt issues but I usually don't do rides over 40 miles on it. I did try a Ventist pad on it and found it to be too hard so I stayed with the thicker stock pad. I do use a Ventist on my V20 which I take on long, fast rides and I find it comfortable enough.

...a Q45 for 500 miles but sold it due to its weight, the way it aggravated my previous neck problems when countering the pedal-steer, and recumbutt in spite of a Ventisit pad. Fast forward a couple of years on a very comfortable P-38, and I'm thinking about an S40. How is the S40 regarding...

Very interested! I never talked myself into an S40 because of a combination of an obsession with speed and concerns about recumbutt. I’m well over 6’ tall so the long chain stay is perfect. Sent you a DM to discuss shipping etc.

I probably wouldn't have recumbutt at that weight either.

I'm 5'5", about 135 lbs. I got a Q45 last year, to replace a Quest with similar seat angle I'd had for 10 years before that. I can ride a couple of hours on the Q45 with no problems. So it has surprised me that so many riders mention recumbutt on a more-reclined bike.

Outside riding I do not experience RB. Inside on the trainer, I do with the stock seat. A Thor seat could remedy that.

strange.
