I own both a Rocket and a VR40. I find the Vision seat much more comfortable. This is a highly
individual choice, though. Most people who own them swear by the RANS seats. I think that they are
very comfortable, just not a much so as the Vision seat.Brad Rocket, GRR, VR40

they both have pros and cons: Pros: RANS-higher seat back, built in lumbar [some do not like that
though] water cage mounts VISION- full mess, no pressure points on the bottom, easier to install.Tom Sherman said:

Actually lumbar support is easily customized on a Vision seat using the straps which attach the
seat-back fabric. This could likely be accomplished on a RANS as well, but on a Vision it is
extremely easy to adjust/dial in.I've not done more than 20 miles on a RANS but after 30 miles on a Bacchetta seat (which felt
oh-so-comfortable at first), my back-side was telling me not to mess with a good thing. This (along
with my preference for USS) really was the deciding factor between buying my 4th Vision (now on my
5th) or my first Bacchetta.DeVon Vision 44.5 (USS/Pantour hub)
