I don't really like a gripper seat, not to mention a hump too. The only time I like a gripper is when it's super muddy, but I don't ride in that anymore. I like being able to slide around easily on the seat so I'm pretty sure a hump seat isn't for me. They do look cool tho. I'll just have to see if Sam or someone will let me ride their quad for a few minutes at the dunes to know for sure. Please take pics and tell us if you like it when you get it. Can you get one without the gripper material on top where you sit? I might like one then if you can.
