Suzieq, it is funny you ask that as I just walked in the door from my LBS after swapping the Bontrager stock seat that comes with it for a different bontrager seat that is shorter and more wsd. I am not sure how it will feel but anything has to be better than the seat that comes with the Pilot! Since I rode 26 miles this a.m., this was probably not the best time to try a new seat! Also, since I am a beginner, I think I also have to "toughen up" some down there. I have been reading all about the saddles in the forums here as well so if this one doesn't do the trick, I'll try a different one!
