Thinking about a WRP taller seat, anyone with experience or selling one? I like the higher ride "on" feel of the various Doo chassis setups, seems like we have a dew inches upward to work with before getting too high and dangerous at speed. Have not read anything bad about them so that may be a good sign. NEED SNOW!

I put one on this past spring because my old seat seemed a bit too soft and worn out at 14000 mi. I have no seat time at this point but it seems like a great fit. It's a bit on the firm side but I am guessing it will soften up.

Worth the upgrade. Got mine from Travis at BOP, already on a seat pan. I think it gives a better seating position then stock.Thinking about a WRP taller seat, anyone with experience or selling one?

I put one on last year. Def better than stock in terms of stiffness...but I find it a bit too tall for my height (6.3"), and makes the Nytro, and me on it, a bit higher cog. Great for transitioning from sitting to standing, but requires more body language in the corners.
However, that said, still a very nice upgrade over stock.

The WRP seat with the steering relocate are the best 2 upgrades to the Nytro!

That is my big geometry question, is it too high for how it was designed. I already press the high COG entering and exiting a corner at speed and it sits a few inches higher already than my XTC. I need to ride a WRP before buying. As Farmer says I can also see it being a game changer. Thanks.I put one on last year.

You are going to be about 2” higher then stock with the WRP seat. The WRP seat is very firm also. I would set something upon your current seat that would give you 3-4” increase in hight and see how it feels just sitting. It’s definitely a different seating position. I’m 6’ and it feels better I the legs but you don’t get that sink feeling like the stock seat.

Good idea, I have a few inches I can go up with the riser now too... Will test with a stack of two 2x6 12" blocks, a little hard but should give me the height.You are going to be about 2” higher then stock with the WRP seat. The WRP seat is very firm also.

Can't wait to hear your seat of the pants reviews... I am considering this seriously as well. Post Christmas perhaps.I put one on this past spring because my old seat seemed a bit too soft and worn out at 14000 mi. I have no seat time at this point but it seems like a great fit.

I’m only 5’10” and loved the wrp seat on my Nytro, made trail riding enjoyable especially on week long trips, your body will thank you.
Wrp seat was the second best thing I did to the sled, first was the split rail skis.
