I am 6’3” with just a 33 inch inseam.
I ordered an XL Volae Comfort Carbon seat that is roughly 2.5 inches or longer than our stock S40 seat with the hope of avoiding a neck rest and getting more power out of a slightly more bucket style seat (I enjoyed the more sculpted and supportive seat of my Metaphysics bike and the shape and robust build of this seat is nearly identical)
I used this seat ONCE!
*The problem for me is that this seat is likely more sculpted for a 5’9” to 6ft person!!
It can be set up at an aggressive 25 degree angle like a Vendetta (current set-up for which I will pass along the EXACT set-up with respect to bolts, nuts, rubber washers, custom cut plumber gasket strips AND a custom cut section of EVA foam like yoga blocks are made out of the give the length of the seat extra support-see photos)
If you want to try more aero on your S40 or want the same position your have now, but potentially run your bike without a neck support and are shorter than 6ft, this maybe a good option at a $100 savings
$200 INCLUDING shipping to continental USA
Below are words from the Hostel Shoppe website:
“Get a seat that is comfortable, tough, light and aerodynamic. The Volae Comfort Carbon seat shells, with edging, have a wider seat base with more support and cup to it, providing a more supportive riding position. Volae Comfort Carbon fiber hardshell seats are available in four sizes to fit your torso and weigh 2 lbs. 5 oz. (based on the medium seat without hardware or pad). See Specifications tab for sizing information.
WIL include mounting brackets or mounting hardware.
Specifications:
Volae Seats are sized by Seated Shoulder Height.
- Small: 23" or less
- Medium: 23" to 24.5"
- Large: 24" to 26.5"
- X-Large: 26.5" or more
Volae Comfort Carbon seats require longer mounting bolts than the original style Volae carbon seats.
