As Allen said, I had a Corbin seat that it feels pretty much like seating on a rock. I also tried seating on Graham's bike, and that one is much softer. Both seats are Corbin, and they pretty much the same, although the one on Graham's bike looks like a newer generation. I wonder if the seat design has evolved with time and they found a way to make it softer. I totally agree with Surfswab about the shape. It is a bit wider, flatter, and perfectly shaped for your butt. I had the same issue of constantly sliding forward with the oem seat, and this was even worst while breaking. I love the shape of the seat but for long riding is still too hard. I have had mine for over 2 years and I ride a lot so I don't think it is about breaking-in it. At the moment I am having serious back problems while riding my NH, which I don't fully understand yet, but it might be partially related with the seat being so hard.
