I just read an article in the HOG magazine today that I felt was pretty interesting. It’s about the new Hammock touring seat by Harley Davidson. This seat is really nice to sit on, but what makes it really nice is the fact that it can help you ride longer without feeling fatigued.
The seat uses a new Elastomer Fabric Support Sling system that basically puts your rear in a stretchy hammock. When you hit a bump the material flexes and sinks, but you never touch the bottom of the seat pan. You have a full 2 inches of travel. What this translates to is you feel 12% less shock from bumps in the road which is a big improvement especially over long rides. You can see the pocket the hammock is in the picture below.
The seat is about an inch taller than a standard Ultra Classic seat because of the suspension system. You can come down and take a look at it at Laidlaw’s Harley-Davidson, but you won’t really notice the difference until you ride on it.
Here are a few Pictures of the seat on a bike.
