Thor Seat

[cruzKurt]

Looking for some info from anyone that has a Thor seat on a v20, v20c or maybe an s40. Specific model you have and pics would be great!

Large Sport G with Ventisit. With ICE headrest.
Mine’s bolted only at the lower front wings, with some thermoplastic and Velcro.

Large capacity aerodynamic tailboxes.

Cruzbike is missing a trick in comparison to its European counterpart the Dutch company M5 in that it doesn't make large capacity aerodynamic tailboxes that can directly fit to standard bikes with the original seats. M5 make an 88 litre tailbox that can fit to the Shockproof and now a 57 litre...

I would suggest an extra large for you, the large is about the size of Cruzbike’s Adjustable Carbon Fiber Seat and Headrest at its maximum length setting.

I have an Easy Seat Carbon on my S40. There’s a slight difference up front that I think makes the more upright position work better.

Thanks, I do like the XL, and I guess this confirms the sport G is the correct one.

Did you go with the carbon seat due to weight difference or some other reason? I’m considering one for my Q.

It supports the body, especially the shoulder, much better. I feel I could ride the bike more easily and better power input.

My build:

Introduce Q40-45ish

I spent past several months to upgrade my 2021 Q45. The weather finally got decent, so I took it for a quick ride. everything seems to work, at least around the neighborhood. We will see if everything stays together when I ride to and from work later this week. Major updates... Thor GS large...

Wider and rounder seat area, better shoulder support.

Thanks for sharing, I guess for the v20 I should go with the Sport Easy, probably go with XL. I also have a SRAM red system I plan on using, need to find a cassette that is compatible with the wide range red etap AXS.

I should have been clearer. Did you choose the carbon Thor seat over the fiberglass Thor seat due to weight savings or something else? I’m assuming both are shaped the same way, but if the carbon seat provides more support than the fiberglass then that would be great to know.

Yeah, it’s hard to justify paying an extra $100 to save 500-600 grams when I’m 40 lbs. over ideal body weight. But I did.
