Tall Seats

(1/2) > >>

teamwsr:
Just wondering if anyone is using a tall seat. I here that it is a quicker transition to standing and I try and stand alot when I ride. I'm asking on this thread because my current ride is my 1991 KX500 in a 2004 KX250 frame. I'm not real tall 6' but I do use taller bar clamps that I love when I'm standing. Thanks for any input.

I'm 6' also and like bar risers.  I'm Ok with the stock seat.

PowerFiend:
I'm 6-1 and like stock height seats with tall bars. I don't like the tall seats for slow going, I like to be able to easily plant my feet when needed.

The only people I know that get along well offroad with tall seats are the 36+ inseamers.

teamwsr:
Thanks for the info it really helped. I have a 34" inseam and was not sure if I was going to like it when I trail ride. Since half the time I ride it's either hard core trails and the other half it's hardcore hillclimbs, I think I am going to try one when I go hillclimbing and keep the stocky for trail riding.
