Yes Ben, I keep saying the same thing, major weight saving. From my experience they are more comfy than the sport turbo seats too. Mine cut my legs off across the hamstrings.

Benrobson2999 - Kent AO Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 I really like them. But for these euro trips I think the other style would suit me better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to improve this by taking some spacers out from the front of the seat base. Makes the back more vertical of course but that was a change that suited me anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my euro trip last year on the return journey, I drove from Aix-en Provence to Alencon which was nearly 1000km in one day. We spent 10hrs in the seat that day (apart from fuel stops) and can say they were never an issue 👌🏼 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Bosworth Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Believe me if you’re lucky enough to find a set of Carbon Tillets then get them. The comfiest seat I’ve ever sat in. Just done 760miles in them and superb for me and better half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were soooo damned comfortable I could sit in them for hours no probs. Wish I knew what make they were 😖 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really keen to know how much weight I'd save swapping mine for plastic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
