Often when or if you buy a new bike it will always come with a stock seat. The seat that is stock on the bike is made to fit and take your weight. Most of the stock seats are very uncomfortable and hurt. That is why you can get other bike seats with a gel mesh that is like a bed for your butt while riding your bike.

If you have never ridden with a different bike seat then the one that is stock on your bike then you're in for a surprise. The thing you will need to think about when you are getting anew seat is whether you like it hard or soft. If you are a heavy rider than you will probably like it soft and not hard it is better I say to ride soft then hard. Others may like a hard seat thought.
