In comparison my wife was on a 660r and was always comfortable. I think the Ten's seat is an awful shape, too narrow and locking you in a single position in its "bucket". I would have thought an airhawk would make things worse as it would narrow the bucket without completely filling it. I dont know what the solution as without making the seat height insane.

Thats a fact the XT660R is still one of the comfiest bikes Ive ridden, the seat of the Ten is the bikes only minor fault, which isnt so bad as hopefully can be sorted fairly cheaply

Yup we have got two in our house and we both agree very comfy. I rode from Ullapool to Lancashire the long way round in a day - nearly 500miles and 12 hours - a few weeks back. No aches or pains or anything. I think probably the most comfortable bike i have ever had Will be shipping them to the US next year for 6 week tour there. Can't wait. :).

FWIW, a cheaper alternative to the Airhawk:

Works for me (plus extra foam in OEM seat).
