Just seen this on their website https://xopoutdoors.com/products/new-hang-on-seat-casting

Only $29 and 2.25 lbs. I think I paid $49. I like the last line in description " this is to be used only as a seat casting only. Not responsible if this is used in any other manner lol

I saw this the other day too. It's a little bit different design than the other one. I also noticed the disclaimer lol

Interesting. It's almost an exact copy of the lone wolf.

Interesting. Anyone know the weight of the seat casting we have been using?

I would say they caught on lol. They were probably trying to figure out why they were selling so many replacement seats...

If I am looking at the correct photos of the earlier version, the new seat may be a little more reinforced with additional ribbing near the attachment point?

I just ordered the seat and two brackets for under $55 shipped. Just hoping this new seat is the equal or better than the previous version.

Very curious to see if this is an improvement or not over the other seat. Post a review when you get a chance!

Which brackets are you buying? At their price I might just need to try a platform over my ameristeps.

I bought the 6 point brackets for my XOP platform. They are pretty solid and bite good.
