Well I used to have the Scott OEM "progressive" seat, and it was a different style to all the other seats ive seen, it had a thinner back end so that you could move forward and backwards without hurting your legs and other nessesary manly objects, maybe that was more of a BMX seat? what are the differences between the MTB and BMX seats?

don't bother with mtb seats

bmx seats are much better looking

 

 

There is actually a difference I think..

 

BMX seats are just much smaller in general. Look cooler with patterns etc, but uncomfortable..

 

Then you can get DJ seats like a Chucker seat.. A bit wider than a bmx seat and has grips underneath, both for doing seatgrabs and stuff..

 

Then you get DH seats which are much longer and thinner so that you use it between your legs to manouvre the bike.. And they also have a bit more room for adjustability..
