Default My BMC/Corbin Widowmaker review

With a little over 1,000 miles in the last couple weekends. I will say it was a tad hard and stiff at first but broke in nicely around 500miles. The back support that I get from it has really helped me be able to ride longer and keep my sciatic nerve from acting up. Just enough to lean against. The seat sits me in a comfortable upright position with perfect level for my controls. Overall very happy with this seat. This seat is offered on the BMC and Corbin website, I went with the Corbin version because I didn't want the BMC writing all over it, just a small Corbin in the back plus Corbin gives a 10% veteran discount, saved me over $50.

Nice looking seat. Any idea how the actual seating area compares to the Classic Solo?
What is BMC?
Lastly, didn't you have a really nice seat made by Sick Saddles or C&C? That looked great too.

I have the same seat, but from BMC. I was a bit freaked out by the bad reviews of Corbin, and customer service. BMC was super easy to order from, and I'm very happy with the results.

I agree about the seat. Very comfy, and I enjoy the seat being a bit harder, it keeps my *** from falling asleep. My Girlfriend loves the back, and thinks its the best option for her on the back.

No clue, sorry..


Big Mike Corp, makes seats and some are made in conjuction with Corbin as a joint venture.


yes, my sick saddle was nice but after 25k miles it was getting too soft and worn down, also it didn't have a ledge for back support like this one does. Like I said, same seat I just went with Corbin to get vet discount. I was at Corbins warehouse during the Hollister rally and got to sit on various seats, I like the Wall but it had no real passenger seat so I went with this one.
