The stock ones are probably the comfiest seats I've ever used. Not saying anything for their (lack of) performance capabilities though...

Corbeaus are nice if your small. I don't fit in them.

Caravaggio seats are by far the best, but cost more than I care to spend


So...I swapped to C6 seats. C6 seats are way more comfortable than the C5 seats.

Depends on small. I'm 6' 195lb and fit snug in them. I could see how anyone bigger than my size could have an issue fitting in them comfortably.

I'm 6'3" 225lbs. Those seats aren't for anyone with broad shoulders.
