I’m fairly new to my 2022 Q45, and while searching the forum for cures for recumbutt, I was blown away by the sight of your Thor seat with the Ventisit seatpad! After 45 minutes in my stock seat I have to stop and walk around to get the blood flowing again. Thanks for posting on your GAP ride.

yes there seems to be consensus that the Silvio with around 30 degrees is like a 'Goldilocks' seat angle. Having a model that can convert between 30 and 40 degrees would be great.

The carbon front end from the V20 would be nice, but I would think based on the number of comments on this forum about recumbutt associated with the S40, perhaps an adjustable seat angle might make the biggest impact.

...bike. As for comfort, any recumbent will be more comfortable than an upright or a legacy bike. Some on the forum have had zero issues with recumbutt on the S40 and others have had to modify their seats a bit. I put over 500 miles on my S40 with the stock seat before I decided I wanted to...

My first two wheel recumbent was the V20, bought off eBay used. My first ride was scary, and I really questioned my judgement. However after learning to ride it (took weeks), I'm so glad I gave it time. The V20 is fast but still very maneuverable. I feel comfortable riding with groups of road...

...detail on the forums the last month or so, and after speaking with Jim and Maria I'm leaning towards the vendetta. Reason is the risk of recumbutt on the S40 seems very real given my past glute issues and my neck PT believes the vendetta with adjustable carbon seat and headrest looks like it...

Nice ride, if your time preferences change to the evening come ride with us. We are in great need of C cat racers!

Tough course today - I ride a V20c with Dirt in the 7:30am Atlantic North time slot. I did space my seat up to about 40 - 50* or so to help with the climbing - really helps me out although I experienced “recumbutt” for the first time . Good luck tonight!

Now you only have to wait for the s40 frames to be back in stock. Recumbutt does not relate to being able to sit on a regular saddle. It is about sitting on working muscles. I get no pain pedalling either hard or soft only medium. Lucky for you the alterntive seat is made in Poland.

Recumbutt is different than saddle issues with an upright bike. On an upright bike, saddle pain is often caused by spending lengths of time pedaling with a fair amount of your body weight concentrated on two small contact points--your sit bones--that don't have much padding. Add some friction...

Is recumbutt more bothersome than typical upright bike saddle issues?

Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I am definitely one of those who, during long-distance brevets, prioritize comfort above all else. I'm not racing and I don't care about breaking records. But so far, I’ve also never had to worry about the time limit. After my first PBP...

I guess I'll throw my 2 cents in here... Recumbutt: Larry explained it well. It's pain and numbness in the glutes, seemingly due to pressure. My opinion is that one's individual physiology has the most influence on this. There's a lot of talk about changing the seat angle to something less...

If you like climbing steep grades and would like to use the 1x drivetrains then, I suggest atleast a 1:1 gear ratio at the lower end or even less. The reason is that there is no "off saddling" on a recumbent. You can "bridge" for a short time(5 - 10 seconds) but extended climbs need a good low...

...brevets too—most of Poland is flat, and people want something different, so they come here for brevets :) I’m curious if I’ll experience recumbutt—I’m light, so hopefully not :D. I’m also wondering what would be the best drivetrain setup. On a daily basis, I ride Shimano 105 Di2 with a 50/34...

...flats and downhills, but the S40 is faster uphill and also designed to carry gear much easier than the V20 Recumbentbutt - also know as recumbutt - is where you "butt" goes a little numb because the weight of your torso is pushing down on it in the seat. Not everyone experiences this. I...

Yeah, it's largely a question of how many bikes you are going to have. I first bought a do-it-all recumbent with off road capability, everyday capability, sporty capability - thinking, this would be my bike. Just the one Inwould have. Now I have seven and every one is great in some aspect and I...

Chiming in here. I have a V20c, Q45 and had an S40 (and loved it once I solved the recumbutt issue). When I had to decide to part with one, the S40 was the one that found a new home. I can’t add anything to what has already been said about the V20c, it’s an awesome machine, enough said. So...

...The S40 is also a more draftable bike, while no one wants to try to draft off of a V). I did sell my S40 because I suffered deal-breaking recumbutt on it, whereas I have no such trouble on the V because the more reclined seat angle puts less weight on my bum. But plenty of people ride the...

If got around 2000 miles on the V and have thought I would benefit from having an S40 for groups and the hills. Never ridden one so the add may not make that much difference.
