Just sayin I've ridden both, there are advantages to both depending on if you'r just riding or racing, 90% of my riding is race oriented. I just can't see standing all the time, I stand for awhile too when fatigued after riding for hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a rider forward sled means standing 24/7. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Im tall and have long legs so that’s not going to work for me. I sat on a zr900 a couple weeks ago - no way I’m going back to that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoughnut Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 There's no doubt the new rider forward sleds are more comfortable but back in the early to mid 90's there was nothing like ripping a triple triple on a fresh groomed trail. The sound alone was...... 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1jkw Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Put a Boss high rise or WRP seat on an old edge or XCR makes a world of difference in riding comfort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day i rode it up and back on the lake and said fuck this i'll buy a new sled trialside before i ride sit down again. Have to be knome size to be more comfortable on a sit down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 IDK, “comfort” is an opinion and it depends on rider. Of the trails are groomed and smooth, I’d love to rock a sit downer with some “go” to it. Nothing is faster. But if you want “comfort”.....Whatever....just get out of the fucking way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I think the Poo IQ had a really good compromise. Didn't force you to ride with your ankles behind your knees but let you ride with your center of mass wherever you wanted it. Could stand comfortably without killing your back hunched over, or sit and ride groomed flat stuff for miles. Fit me well at 6'5" Sat on a friend's Wildcat 700 in his garage over the holidays and felt like I was using one of those Squatty Potty toilet boosters.
