A Rider’s Guide to a Mini Bike Seat

 

If you are looking for a mini bike seat there are hundreds to choose from depending on the make and model of your mini bike. Hence, selecting a seat is best done after reading reviews, asking other riders, or simply through a trial-and-error experience.

Here are a few tips to help you buy a mini bike seat.

The seat is a very critical component of a mini bike. It is very personal as the seat is the main point of contact between the mini bike and you. An ill-fitted seat can be the differentiating factor between going for a long enjoyable ride and suffering through a short and uncomfortable one. 



The shape of a mini bike seat is very crucial. Here are a few tips to follow before buying one.

The first is wide seats that are very comfortable and good for long leisurely rides and where the extra weight of the seat is not an issue. The next is thinner seats that are best for short and challenging rides like racing. Here, even though comfort of the rider is not entirely dispensed with, the weight factor is very important. If you plan to race down the tracks, every lb. of weight saved matters a lot.

What is vital for a mini bike seat is your sit bones. Too thin seats can put a lot of pressure on the soft parts while those that are too wide can chafe at your skin.

A mini bike seat base is usually made from tough plastic. While being quite rigid, there is also a certain amount of flex to absorb road conditions.

Choose a mini bike seat with care and enjoy your rides.
