Read this Friday, and as I had a 300+ mile day planned for Saturday (yesterday), I decided to give it a shot. Stopped by the Pony after work, picked one up, put it on right there, rode home. So far, so good. Got home last night after 322 miles, me arse was not complaining one bit after six hours on the bike - normally it would not have been real happy. To add to the pros listed above: - Sitting slightly taller in the saddle has altered what I see in my mirrors - my mirror is now full of what's behind me instead of half what's behind me and half a view of my shoulder. - This thing somehow forces me to sit with my back more straight, leading to much less of a sore back from bending forward ever-so-slightly. - Seems like smaller road imperfections are gone with the AirHawk. You'll still feel the big bumps, but the overall ride is much more smoove (sic) than before. - The change in seating height was good for me - it moved my helmet into a less noisy wind flow area (or whatever the correct term is) - I get a lot less wind noise whistling through my helmet. The sale prices in the Pony's catalog are either 1) only good online, or 2) a mis-print. The clerk Friday said they were a misprint. Either way, still worth the $$ to this rider. Thanks, Ben, for your review and leading me to this great product.
