Best seat? Suspension seat post?

[d0n]

Hi all ...whats a nice comfortable seat for a rad runner plus? This stock seat is absolutely horrible.

Also, I bought a SR SUNTOUR SP12 NCX suspension seat post (31.6X400mm) but it's too fat to fit where the stock post does. What size seat post is this?

thanks

I have the same issue. The OE seat is terrible.

I just ordered a new seat w/led light and suspension seat post from amazon for less than $70. I think these 2 items will make a world of difference in the comfort level of the radrunner+.

The stock post is 390 mm x 27.2 mm.  You'll probably want the 27.2x400mm NCX SP12.  Remember that the suspension post arcs backwards during compression, so you need your seat set high enough to avoid the rear platform.  If you normally ride with the seat at it's lowest, the NCX probably won't work for you.

As for seats, I tried a Bell Comfort Wide Cruiser on my RadRover https://amzn.to/3pLZkjx and it was very comfortable, but the problem is it interferes with pedaling at close to full leg extension.  If you ride with your seat low with moderately bent legs during pedaling (cruiser style), I think it's a huge bargain.  Very comfy.  The one I use now is a generic 8" wide comfort foam saddle that works quite well and allows me to ride for hours https://amzn.to/3nDSugX.  It's also a bargain on amazon.

Good luck!

I ended up getting a cheaper seat and post from amazon and like it a lot.

I purchased the Cloud 9 Cruiser Select Airflow, and the Selle Royal Drifter, and ended up sticking with the Cloud 9. The C9 surface is breathable, plus the vent, and the Selle is so wide that I had to "find" my position each time I sat down.

I also got an inexpensive suspension seat post, and it works, but not as well as a Suntour. The Suntour geometry absorbs bumps in the direction of the rear frame movement for a hardtail bike, and does a better job.

Best bike seat I have found! comes from Pedego bikes. Looks good and very comfortable.
Comes in black or brown. Usually around $50.
I did find an online store that has them for $49. Free shipping on orders over $80. ( Best to buy two seats )In the hole golf.com, Ph# 1888-733-8383.
They are out of Wyoming so you pay no taxes. For two seats $ 98. total.
As for Suspension post I recommend The Thudbuster ST. ( newest one) best price I have found is on Ebay for around $ 160.
plus free shipping. usually sells for $ 180.  Way better than Suntour.( cost more but worth it!) the Thudbuster will put you closer to your handle bars about an inch.

does the oem seat not simply detach and allow a replacement seat in place on the current post?

You got it, The RR and RR Plus seat and post are one unit.
