Don´t expect the seat to be very comfortable for cross country riding!!! I was good for about 45 min to an hour tops on mine then I had to get off the bike for a few. I rode it for 3 months and about 2500 miles thinking that it was just me not being used to riding...still was a problem. I had a friend of mine who is an upholsterer pull the cover back and add about 1.5\
