For the most comfortable ride over long distances.
Even the most terrific and exciting motorcycle tour can become pure torture if your seat isn't what it
really should be. How can you be expected to enjoy a relaxed view of beautiful countryside when your
sweaty skin has gotten so sore in the worst places from bunched-up, chafing clothing caused by a
poorly design seat? Seats from Touratech, which are developed and manufactured in southern Ger-
many in close collaboration with the experts at KAHEDO, are the cure for this problem. They ensure a
most comfortable ride even over long distances.
Depending on the size of the rider and the intended use, Touratech offers seats in various heights and
designs: from extra-low to high-rise, such as a sports seat for an LC 8 Adventure or an extra-comfort
seat for an R 1200 RT. For instance, for just an R 1200 GS alone, we offer five different types of seats.
you're sure to find exactly what you need, and you'll really feel the difference!
Touratech Comfort Features
- A pecial foam core ensures that forces are distributed evenly and prevents wear.
- with most seats a pronounced hollow (depression) in the middle of the seat ensures that there is no
pressure on the coccyx and weight
is distributed perfectly over the whole seat.
- A proprietary developed bi-elastic covering material povides a better sense of security and inhibits
sweat to a greater degree. The seat
is perceptibly more comfortable.
- The seams are stuck and welded together to ensure that they are 100% watertight.
- Great care is taken to ensure that the seams are in positions that cannot cause any pressure points on
the thighs and buttocks.
- Various seat heights are available.
The result : a seat tailored to the rider and suitable for long journeys.

Touratech: Since 17 Years Professional Touring-Seats
Since 1997 for the most comfortable ride over long distances.
-
Touratech seats are already available for many models of bikes, with more to follow this year.
They're made of the highest quality materials and are specially designed to meet the ergonomic
demands posed by long-distance touring. This means that pressure points caused by poorly
designed padding or incorrectly located seams are avoided right from the start, thus ensuring
comfortable seating over the long haul. A special foam core, made extra carefully by hand and
designed to best fit the rider's anatomy, ensures that weight and forces are evenly distributed to
prevent pressure sores – even after many, many kilometres.
In addition to their perfect shape, the comfort of the seats developed especially for Touratech
is greatly increased by their bi-elastic upholstery fabric. Its surface improves grip when braking
and accelerating and also reduces sweating. The result: The rider sits far more securely on the
motorcycle and has better control in any situation. Even if other materials may look the same,
they still don't offer these critical features! The seams of our extra-comfort seats from KAHEDO
are specially treated to be 100% waterproof; the taut upholstery fabric doesn't allow rainwater
to collect on it; instead, it just runs right off. Our seats can also be used as separate modules
because they fit right in with original-equipment passenger or rider seats. At the same time, the
contours of the rear, pillion seats prevent the passenger from sliding forward.
For many models, we also offer our seats covered in a patented "breathable" fabric, which much
like modern motorcycle clothing lets moisture out yet is still waterproof. It's the best solution for
coping with heat and humidity, for it keeps underclothing from riding up, shifting, sticking and
forming those pressing and painful folds and ridges. Tests in Namibia, Bolivia and Mexico have
conclusively demonstrated greatly increased comfort in hot weather.
Why no gel seats?
-
In the process, Touratech is deliberately refraining from using gel pads as they prevent the air ex-
change in the seating area and lead to more sweating. In addition, gel is temperature-sensitive;
it will become hard and uncomfortable at low temperatures and soft and spongy when it's hot.
All of this affects riding and the sitting comfort drastically. with the Touratech seats, an optimal
distribution of forces is obtained by the outlines of the foam core identified by conducting tests.
