[Mike Cassera]

Does anyone prefer the standard headrest over the Suspension Adjustable Headrest and why.

I prefer the standard as it fits me nicely. I am 5'7". It all depends on if you can get a good fit or not with the standard. It seems that the taller you are the more the suspension adj works better. The really nice thing about the sus adj on is the ability to adj and aim the pad to the back of the neck and have no pressure on the back of the helmet.

On the S40 the standard headrest works better for me 6’1” or so. I’ve been able to dial in fit well on this bike.
The V20c I use the suspension headrest - just can’t seem to get the fit dialed in without it and it’s still marginal.

I managed to make the headrest on my S40 work for me by folding over the foam, thereby doubling it's thickness. That still wasn't enough so I added 3 pieces of foam yoga mat material, adding another inch at least. I'm 5 ft 10.

I prefer the standard. I couldn't get the suspension dialed in. The first attempt with the standard fit perfectly - No reason to try and switch back

I prefer the suspension headrest, but I did have to curve the plastic backing plate to make it comfortable.
Just used a heat gun to heat, then curve the top & bottom.
I'm 6'-2" if that is relevant.
I found that the standard headrest rattled my brain on the potholes & cracks
