Ride on Air with an AIRHAWK® ® comfort seating system. AIRHAWK® seat
cushions are an air-filled seat pad that is guaranteed to DOUBLE YOUR
RIDE TIME!
Soft, flexible interconnected air cells evenly distribute pressure
throughout the pad and conforms to your shape. The breathable cover
allows air to flow through the cushion, keeping you cool and dry.
Let’s choose the right AIRHAWK comfort seating system for your bike.
Remember the seat pad doesn’t need to cover the entire seat, only where
you sit.
First, measure the widest part of the seat, near where your tailbone would rest.
Then measure the length of your seat from the furthest back your butt
will sit to where the seat narrows for your legs. Don’t measure the
area of the seat where you don’t sit. Find the AIRHAWK® model that most
closely matches these measurements.
Now that you have your AIRHAWK® cushion, let’s get it installed and
inflated properly. In the box you will find the bladder, cover, and the
straps to hold the pad on your seat.
Before installing, place the empty bladder in the cover cell side up
with the valve exposed. Then fully inflate the bladder, by turning the
valve counterclockwise to open, inflate using your mouth until all air
cells are full. Turn the valve clockwise to close. Now place the seat
pad on your seat where you’d like it.
Wrap the straps under the seat crisscrossed or straight, whichever works best for your bike. Adjust the strap lengths as needed.
Now that your AIRHAWK® cushion is installed, you’ll need to find the right inflation level.
Sit on the seat in your normal riding position with your feet on the
pegs. Open the valve to release air until you sink down into the pad.
It’s important to note that most people tend to over inflate the
cushion. It’s designed to work with a minimal amount of air. LESS is
BEST.
To test this, slowly lean your body from side to side. You should be
able to feel the air transfer beneath you slightly. If you feel yourself
touching the base of your bike seat, add some more air and repeat the
adjustment process. If you have to adjust your mirrors or if you feel
wobbly, your AIRHAWK® is most likely is overinflated. Ultimately when
finished, the cushion will be about 1/4 to 1/3 full.
Once you find the right inflation level, you might want to clear your calendar, it’s time to RIDE ON AIR
