I went to the yamaha show friday in traverse city.I noticed the nytro has a firm seat foam while the apex,s were on the soft side,even though they are taller you sink in quite abit ,not all of the apex,s seemed to be the same firmness the mountain apex seemed to have the fimest seat which make the transition from sitting to standing easier as do the taller bars.The attack seemed to be inbetween the gt and the mountain.MY 05 rx has a firmer foam than the apex,s.
On motorcycles(street bikes) the aftermarket seats like corbin and mustang are firmer than factory seats ,which even though it doesnt seem like it ,makes the high mileage rides more comfortable.
I would think that the softer foam would be better for the small bumps but he firmer foam would be better for the big bumps that we ride on just about every weekend and would make it easier to stand up for the really big holes.Thoughts?Ideas?Observations?

I just ordered an APEX GT and I think there is a good chance I will be switching the seat foam out for something a little firmer, for more comfort and higher seat height. I've used boss seats and I have like the harder/higher seat much better.
I ordered the Gt also and was hoping yamaha would firm up the foam on the production sleds based on input from consumers.Yamaha,s probaply on this site allmost as much as we are.

Forget the seat the only complaint I have are the fasteners that hold the hood, side panels & seat flap, if yamaha doesn"t change them I will be ordering a plenty of spares. Other wise GREAT SLED!!!!! Forgot to mention I ordered the GT.

I found one of the fastners laying on the floor at the show off of apex gt trunk lid, imagine finding one in a couple of fresh inches of snow.
I'd like the softer foam as well. I liked the REV seat a lot, that would be a good target.
