Which saddle to choose for your Vespa PX: some useful tips

The choice of saddle for the Vespa PX is really important. Those who think above all of comfort must focus everything on a saddle capable of responding to the needs of their body in order not to harm the back and coccyx and also allow the use of the legendary two wheels for longer journeys.
In general, during each purchase it is necessary to check:

1.The shape of the saddle (the originals are humped or triangular) and the springs. The original shape of the Vespa is theoretically designed to guarantee the driver maximum comfort on board the motorcycle, but it presents various problems of inconvenience due to the internal springs, which risk being too hard in the long run.

2.The ergonomic factor. Each saddle must properly distribute the weight on the horse and pelvis, to prevent the bones and joints from stressing. With this in mind, it is better to avoid springs and choose a saddle with a plastic supporting structure and triple padding. Here, we know it well, Vespa PX lovers and purists will turn up their noses. In fact, we differ from the original saddle models. It must be borne in mind, however, that some prefer comfort over the exact correspondence of their Vespa to the design with which it left the factory. Piaggio does not produce saddles without springs and for this reason it is necessary to look for which of the others can best adapt to your two wheels.

Vespa owners who prefer to keep all the original Piaggio elements can still improve the comfort of their Vespa PX saddle by replacing the old springs with new ones. On the market, in fact, it is possible to find spring kits specially designed for long journeys.
Only by keeping an eye on these criteria can you know how to choose the saddle that best suits your body and the use you will make of your Vespa PX. From here the two schools of thought originate. On the one hand there are Vespa enthusiasts who do not want to give up on comforts. On the other hand, the real purists who prefer to travel more uncomfortable, but buy only original parts and respect the initial characteristics of the Vespa PX as if it had just left the company at the time of its birth.
