cobra monaco pro buckets - Saxperience

Bensvts · 24th March 2011, 20:22

am looking at buying some monaco pro buckets and someone i know said there not worth it uncumfy/cheap and after half hour drive u get out and cant walk.. and that magnum buckets around same price are miles better..

is this true that they are uncumfy, might be a silly question really as cant see all the people that have bought them that they are not cumfy etc..

people with these seats let me know

cheers

I had the regular monacos, 4 hour journey from home to uni and found them more comfortable then the standard seats! Surprising since there is naff all padding on them.

I haven't tried the Pro (not sure how they differ other than colour/material?) but the standard Monaco for me is one of the worst buckets I've ever sat in.

It's not a padding issue (The most comfortable bucket i've ever tried was a bare carbon fibre shell) it's that it was all the wrong angles and sizes for me so pinched/poked where it shouldn't and didn't support where it should.

As always with buckets, sit in them (and try others) before you buy them as they're all different shapes and sizes, as are people. It's not always a 'cheap seats are poo' thing either, I couldn't stand my mate's £400 Bride for the exact same reasons.
