One of the thing that makes Catrike unique is that their seat is an integrated part of the trike's frame. This arangement makes the trike very stiff attributing to the Catrike's racecar-like handling. The seat is a mesh that wraps around the frame. Comfort of the seat has always been somewhat adjustable by changing the tension of the seat's straps.

The last version of the Catrike seat we saw was the Limited Edition version included with the Catrike Muscle editions. Well, the new Catrike seat is much more than just a stripe on the mesh!

The new seat fits all Catrike models, with a slightly different version available for the 700. The new design features a stronger and more breathable mesh for the back and built in padding to go around the seat frame. This seat is extremely comfortable.

The main attraction here is the new cargo capabilities built into the newest Catrike seat mesh. As noted in our Catrike review, the original seat already had some straps and pockets of a sort. This time they've gone way further with three good-sized pockets and an even better pump holder. On the bottom right of the seat there is a new water-proof cell phone pocket, on the left side two bigger cargo pockets, and on the upper right a pocket for a pump.

Check out the pictures below and you'll see just how cool this new seat is!

Buckles Galore!
One of our favorite features about the Catrike seat has always been the buckles. It makes it really easy to take the seat off if you ever have to clean it.

Securing the Straps
The seat straps come with velcro ends so you can secure the straps once you've set the tension.

Left Side Pockets
On the rider's left side there is a big size pocket on the back of the seat and a lower pocket under it. These pockets are great for storing a tool kit, wallet, etc.

Single-Layer Mesh
The new seat has a stronger single-layer mesh for better cooling. You can see the way the padding wraps around the frame to provide even more comfort.

Pump Straps
On the right side of the seat there is a set of straps that will hold just about any mini pump.

Lower Pocket
Here you can see the lower left pocket well. The pocket has plenty of room for even the fattest of wallets!

Pump Pocket
To make sure your pump doesn't fall out, the bottom is supported with a cool pocket. A small billy club would probably fit in there as well, should the need arrise.

Cell Phone Pocket
On the bottom right of the seat there is a cell phone pocket. The placement is perfect for easily reaching your phone while staying seated on the trike. This pocket is water proof and has a velcro zipper tassle to keep it closed.

Super Comfy
The padding on the seat wraps around the frame the whole length of the seat, making this seat very comfortable.

Cell Phone Pocket
The zipper of the pocket runs along the length of the seat making it really easy to access while on the trike. You can see here the zipper velcroed closed.

Sorry, this is a Catrike exclusive. Maybe we'll start to see the other trike manufacturers include similar features in the future.

Can I buy that seat now, or is it only available on new trikes? Will it fit on the Pocket?

There is a similar seat for the 700. It has one less pocket and is a little different size.

Yes, this incredible seat comes standard on all the Catrikes now.

What an awesome idea! I hope terratrike makes one soon for their models! I just looked into taking the seat mesh off of my Path 8 (so I can paint it) and wonder how in the world I'm going to undo and re-do all of those thread-through buckles with my stiff old fingers! The Catrike seat would sure make it easy!

Will the big pocket hold a hydration bladder?

It's really not big enough for that. For a bladder I'd suggest the FastBack 4.0 on the Catrikes.

No. The older Catrikes used a wider seat mesh. They are available via special order.
