The Rider Family Grows Again
VVD, also known as Viva Desire, clearly cannot sit still. And they are back with a new flagship portable ride-on sex toy. After the success of the Rider Desire saddle machine (read our full review here) and the compact RiderGo G-spot vibrator (read our full review here), the VVD brand is back with a third member of the Rider family: the Rider Air - saddle ride on sex machine.
The idea this time is simple. Take everything users loved about the original saddle, then make it lighter, slimmer, and easier to live with. According to VVD, every change in the Rider Air comes directly from real feedback from Rider Desire owners. Less bulk, less fuss, and a design that travels as easily as it rides.
So does the Rider Air earn its wings? We put it through its paces to find out.
First Impressions: Discreet, Tidy, Ready to Ride
The Rider Air arrives in fully discreet outer packaging with a tamper-proof gift box inside, so you know your unit is brand new. Open it up and everything sits neatly in structured foam padding: the main unit, the two attachments, and a dedicated storage pouch.
The device itself has a smooth matte finish with fully rounded edges and engraved branding rather than stickers that peel off after a week. There is no harsh plastic smell, and it comes pre-charged, so you can take it for a spin straight out of the box.
The look is minimalistic. On a nightstand it passes as a stylish home accessory, and it slips into a travel bag without drawing attention. That neutral design is very much the point.
Built for Real Fun: What the Rider Air Upgrades
The most interesting thing about the Rider Air is where its ideas came from. VVD says every change is based on real feedback from owners of the original saddle, and it shows. No gimmicks, just fixes for the details that matter day to day. This is a machine shaped by riders, for riders.
The headline upgrade is the new supportive handrail design, something the original never had. Riding solo, the handrails help you settle into a natural rhythm without wobbling about. For couples, they free up both hands and keep both partners closer to the action, while the wireless remote adds playful variety.
The body itself has been re-thought too. It is lighter and slimmer, dropping to just 950g, which turns the saddle from a bedroom fixture into something you can store away or pack for a weekend without a second thought. Cleaning gets the same treatment: the seamless one-piece body has no awkward seams or dead angles, and the wider attachment base keeps liquids contained, so a quick wipe-down is all it takes.
Controls are refreshingly simple. The remote connects quickly, and the tactile button layout means you can switch modes by touch alone, mid-ride, without ever looking down. A non-slip bottom base keeps everything planted, the machine stays quiet at under 60 dB, and because it is fully cordless, there is no hunting for a socket. Ride wherever the mood takes you.
The numbers back up the travel-ready pitch. The Rider Air covers four modes of fun: thrusting, vibrating, tapping, and clitoral tapping. The main unit is sturdy plastic with soft silicone attachments, which VVD describes as skin-safe and body-friendly, and in our testing the contact surfaces felt smooth and comfortable throughout. An IPX5 splash-proof rating makes cleaning easy, though it should never be fully submerged, and inside there is a 2200 mAh battery that charges via USB-C in around 3 hours for up to an hour of ride time.
In the box you get the saddle machine itself, two detachable dildo attachments, the wireless remote, a USB-C charging cable, a user manual, and the storage pouch. To keep the machine this light and simple, VVD trimmed the extras down to two attachments and left out the warming function, a fair trade for a saddle built to go anywhere.
Who Should Saddle Up This Time?
The Rider Air makes the most sense for first-time riders, frequent travellers, minimalists, and anyone who finds a riding sex toy a great add-on to your sex toy collection. It is also a genuinely strong pick for couples, thanks to the remote control and the hands-free handrail design.
Jessica's Honest Opinion: An Unexpected Flight
Jessica, Lushense Product Tester:
"My partner and I often end our evenings apart with a video call, and that is exactly how my first proper session with the Rider Air happened.
I started slow, just the tapping mode, without the attachment. I honestly planned to keep things gentle. Then he saw me riding it, and the look on his face said everything. Before long he was encouraging me to go further and add the attachment.
I felt a little awkward at first, but something about being watched and gently guided made the whole thing far more exciting than I expected. I completely let go.
That was the real surprise for me. It was not just the sex toy, it was the connection it created between us, even from a distance. The handrails helped me find a rhythm without thinking about balance, the remote and buttons were easy to manage mid-session, and it stayed quiet and stable the entire time.
Our Final Verdict
The Rider Air is not trying to replace the Rider Desire, and that is exactly why it works. Every upgrade targets a real, everyday pain point: easier cleaning, simpler controls, better stability, lighter storage, and a design you do not need to hide. The trade-offs, fewer attachments and no warming, are honest ones made in service of portability.
If you travel, share your intimate moments with a partner, or are simply new to ride-style sex toys, the Rider Air is an easy machine to recommend. Homebodies chasing maximum immersion should still look at the Rider Desire. Either way, the Rider family keeps getting more interesting.
