Selecting
the proper Saddlemen seat should begin with the question, "How long in
the saddle and riding style or preference?" Knowing the comfort a rider
will need will aim them at the best type of seats for their intended
use, and then they can further hone their choice by looking at seats
that would complement their motorcycle and styling preference.
Saddlemen seats are a result of Integrated
Design Philosophy (IDP™), which focuses on putting as much comfort into
the seat as possible. IDP™ then takes styling cues from each motorcycle
and incorporates them into the contours and patterns of each new seat.
The result is a seat that is as comfortable as possible but also looks
and fits perfectly on the motorcycle. Saddlemen's craftsmanship and
quality assure you of an enjoyable ride – regardless of the distance.
By combining the attributes of our proprietary
SaddleGel and advanced Progressive Density Foam, we create exceptional
foundations that provide superior comfort and vehicle control. While
thick seat foams are usually more comfortable, Saddlemen's Gel-Core
technology is used in every seat to produce excellent comfort regardless
of its thickness. That's why a slammed-down Saddlemen seat, such as the
Profiler, rides so much more comfortably than other seats of a similar
thickness. So if a thin Saddlemen seat is comfortable, imagine how plush
a thick seat like a Road Sofa or an Explorer will be.
When creating a new seat, additional attention
is always devoted to overcoming deficiencies that exist in the stock
seat or other aftermarket seats. Our designers use advanced engineering
plus practical riding experience to forge seats that ride comfortably,
look great, and fit perfectly. For example, rigid plastic or resin-based
seat pans with plated brackets provide superior fitment for easy,
hassle-free installation. Riders will need to carefully study the
attributes of each Saddlemen seat so they can learn how it can improve
their riding experience. These seat types are:
Seats for Long Distance or "Touring"
These seats are
aimed at users who will lay down 500+ miles of the open road in a day.
Large, plush double bucket seats designed to keep rider and passenger in
supreme comfort during long-distance riding.
Day Cruising Two-up Seats
These seats are
great for cruising and day trips (200-mile tours). Still a significant
improvement in the comfort of the original saddle, these seats aim for a
balance between style and comfort, making for an enjoyable journey.
Low Profile Two-up Seats
Low slung trim,
stylish seats that include seating for a passenger. The lean and
minimalistic approach significantly complements the motorcycle's lines.
Not as well suited for long-distance use as an Explorer seat, but they
are the most comfortable slammed-down seats you can get. Great for
(urban) boulevard cruising.
Renegade Solo & Pillions
These Rider-only
seats are also great for cruising and day trips as they provide a superb
level of comfort while looking great as only a solo saddle can.
Matching pillion seats are available.
Slammed Solo's (S3) Seats
Low
slung trim, stylish seats for lone riders. The lean and minimalistic
style complements the motorcycle's lines. Not as well suited for
long-distance use as an Explorer seat, but they are the most comfortable
slammed-down seats you can get. Great for casual riding (no backrest
options - see Universal Detachable Pillions Pad for passenger seating).
Pro Series Seats
Saddlemen's seat
artisans occasionally partner with leading bike builders to create
special edition seats. Not as well suited for long-distance use as an
Explorer seat, but very comfortable for urban cruising with a unique
appearance.
Café Seats
Specialty
rider-only seats that feature the ubiquitous hump at the back of the
seat. While aimed at style, the seat is very comfortable for urban
cruising.
