Thor Carbon Sport on S40?

[Jesse Groves]

I know people have installed the Thor “Sport” seat on S30s, but I am wondering if anyone has one on an S40. The Thor website states that the Sport version of the seat is only good up to 28 degrees. Has anyone tried one on their S40? Any problems or thoughts you have would be appreciated.

I am probably buying an S40 soon and I already have the Thor Sport and would like to know if I should go ahead and buy the other version if necessary.

Thor sport angle is too open for a 40 degree reclined seat. Thor Easy is recomended for S40 I think.

I agree. I have a T50 and a Thor Sport. I was concerned that the low bottom bracket would cause interference with seat lip on the easy. But I found that the sport doesn’t work well with the low bottom bracket. If I had it todo over I would definitely get the Easy. With a 40 degree seat angle, you will find yourself sliding off the front of the seat on a Sport.
