Seat Preference - Dirtbike

[Kitt]

What do you guys like?

Gripper Seat
Gripper on Top, Smooth on sides,
traditional/smooth throughout?

Also for conversation - any dirty guys have stepped or shaved seats for dirty use (non sumo)?

i chose baby smooth but my stock seats are kinda smooth gripper-ish. too much grip and i cant slide around without losing my pants

Gripper everywhere. When I'm seated, I want to stay put. When I'm moving, I'm off the seat at least a lil.

I want a step seat, but haven't used one yet... Heeeey Squirrel, what're you doin with that step seat for the KX???

See, another bonus - I can moon people after passing them... Just have to slide back a touch on my seat.

Just a touch, lol!

My thoughts exactly. The 426 had a smooth seat and it wore me out from having to hold on that much more. The 250 has gripper all the way around and its such a big improvement. I will agree that it does start to pull your pants down if you don't get your butt off the seat when sliding around.

all true... guess i haven't ridden with a true 'traditional' seat in a long time. when i think 'gripper' i think of the super textured/rubbery stuff, some are even crazy ribbed now. not sure i'd like that. i do stand as much as possible, would be interesting to try a side gripper-style. WR needs a new cover soon, it's torn.

Big bikes need a gripper seat. Grahm's motard nearly ripped my arms out and I couldn't keep my ass on it, everything else dirt or supermoto whatever is on it works fine.

dirt bikes have seats?

aren't the pegs and handlebars everything that keep you up?

j/k...I rode an RM125 with a gripper seat and XR200R with a smooth, vinyl, banana seat and I felt like the difference depends on what you use it for.

are you riding MX? then gripper all over while to keep your ass on the bike when you're in the berms...otherwise stand most of the time

are you riding dual sport or gravel roads? then smooth...and be comfortable
