Adventure Motorcycling For Short Or Tall Riders

 

Find Your Perfect Fit with Seat Concepts

The joy of ADV riding comes from conquering rough terrain and embracing the freedom of the open road (well, trails!). But let’s face it: If your seat’s not comfy, your adventure can quickly turn into a nightmare, and this can become an even bigger challenge if you’re at either end of the height spectrum.

 

The Seat Height Struggle Is Real On Adventure Bikes

OEM seats are far from perfect in the comfort department and yes, our two wheels will never be as comfy as our favourite lounge chair but that's just part of the riding experience, right? The real issue is that stock seats are often designed for the "average" rider, leaving those of us who are vertically ‘blessed’ or ‘challenged’ feeling uncomfortable and most importantly, unsafe. Tall riders need that extra legroom to avoid feeling like they're riding a kid's bike, while shorter riders need the lowest seat height to plant their feet confidently on the ground.

That's where Seat Concepts comes in, offering a solution for riders of all heights, giving us what we all wish for - a comfy butt.

 

 

Shorties, We’ve Got You Covered - Adventure Bike Seats For Short Riders

Of course, you can install a lowering kit. The basic versions are inexpensive, consisting of replacement parts for your bike’s rear shock linkage. They’re also relatively easy to install, meaning you can drop your seat height an inch or two. However, many riders find the altered suspension geometry just doesn’t work for them. Plus there’s another trade-off, your motorcycle suspension is designed to work a certain way and these lowering kits alter those characteristics.

Seat Concepts on the other hand changes nothing about your bike but everything about your comfort levels. Their ‘Low’ seats sit an inch closer to the ground than the stock standard and narrow at the front, making it easier for your legs to reach the ground. This means more balance, control and confidence when you’re navigating tricky terrain (or just stopping at the lights).

 

Tall Rider? No Worries Mate! Adventure Seats For Tall Riders.

To travel over the rough terrain we love to ride on, ADV bikes have bigger wheels and longer suspension - meaning they’re often higher off the ground than street-style bikes in the first place. But even so, for the giants among us, it still won’t be enough to stop those cramps.

Seat Concepts offers ‘Tall seats’ with a higher profile, giving you that much-needed leg stretch and preventing knee strain. These taller seats also come with a bit of extra padding and width for added comfort on those long hauls.

 

One Seat, Many Adventures

As well as being diverse in sizing, Seat Concepts are made with high-quality materials that can handle the rough and tumble of off-road riding, ensuring long-lasting comfort and value for money. They even offer a “Carbon Fibre Gripper” finish for added friction to stop you sliding in the saddle every time you hit the brakes.

 

The Comfort You Deserve

Remember, a comfortable seat means you can ride longer, safer and happier. So ditch that stock seat and upgrade to a Seat Concepts model today. Your backside will thank you! We stock a range of covers for hundreds of bike models and years, so we’ll be very surprised if you can’t find the perfect fit for your bike and height!
