It took a 1,000 miles for the KonTour to break-in. Until then I was squirming from the hardness towards the tank side of my bottom. The dished area has supports to hold me in place and it is the front of the dish that needs to break-in.
As for the pelvis bones and tail bone, I have been completely comfortable. What a change from the two OE seats where I would get painfully sore at each of those three spots. Now I ride comfortably at those spots.
The next 1,000 miles have offered the conclusion that this seat is exactly what I needed. The added seat material absorbs all the jolts that would pass through to my spine with the thin OE seats. The riding position a little farther back than the Strada seat is perfect for my 6'2" 34" frame. The seat fabric allows airflow to keep me comfortable when the temperatures are warm.
All in all, the Hyperstrada is now much better for me to ride day after day the 350 to 400+ mile loops. Before I would be very sore with the OE seats, long after the days ride, compounding on day after day rides. Now, any issue causing squirming are gone the instant I get off the bike.
Yes, I am like the princess and the pea. My bottom demands comfort. So, if a seat gets my seal of approval, it is indeed comfortable.
