On an F3 Spyder, cornering unstable

This review is specific to the CanAm Spyder and my model is a 2018 F3 Limited. I struggled at first to put 3 because this product is what it should be, I received a decent quality product as pictured, no surprises and it's quick and easy to assemble. I think the price is a bit high for what you get, but I knew the price and was satisfied. Comfort and settings correspond to those declared. This solved the monkey butt problem I was trying to solve. The first problem is that the F3 is the handling version of Spyder. I like to drive aggressively. The seat lifts you and thus your center of gravity, I noticed that immediately. very negative. But that alone will not make me reject this product, because that is of course to be expected from the product presented. Slip 1-2 inches. This instability robs you of confidence in tight corners and can even be dangerous if you let go of that 1-2 inch. The way the Spyder works is that you really need to compress and have a strong anchor in the middle, just like a waverunner. If you're familiar with wave riders, the same uncertainty can come from a large, wet bathing suit preventing you from sitting safely around a tight turn, but even then you can still make some vigorous turns on a wave runner. with the ass off the seat, something I haven't yet found appropriate for a Spyder. I suspect his Airhawk will serve its purpose for riders up for an RT Spyder ride. As for me, I just can't use it, and now I understand my only options are to raise the seat or put up with a monkey floor.
