Introducing the Saddlemen Africa Twin Adventure Tour seat for your Honda Adventure Bike. It's the ultimate upgrade for your motorcycle, combining the trusted quality and comfort you’ve come to expect from Saddlemen with unique high-performance styling.

If you're an Adventure rider who wants to rack up big miles in total comfort, we have the right seat for you. The Africa Twin Adventure Tour Seat is designed and manufactured in the USA, and every key element is purpose-built so you can enjoy longer riding times in the saddle.

This seat features our Gelcore Technology for both rider and passenger. Almost two decades ago, we created SaddleGel for motorcycle seats, adapting a gel widely used in medical applications. No one else in the industry has been able to match it, although many have tried. So never settle for the competition's much less effective foam-only or air products. SaddleGel has been scientifically proven to reduce engine vibration by fifty percent and road impacts by 90 percent. In the end, that translates to a ride that's noticeably more comfortable.

Saddlehyde, another of our innovations unavailable to any other company, is the only covering that's made specifically for motorcycles to work together with Gelcore and stand up to the harsh outdoor elements, which most leathers and types of vinyl will not do over years of use. Add elegant accent stitching and a supple upper-foam layer and you have a seat that's as effective as it is stylish.

It all comes together with our co-molding process, which is the largest advancement in motorcycle seating comfort since the creation of the suspension. This unique process creates a seat that will dampen, divert, and deflect the energy from road shock in a way that 70-year-old foam seating technology or air bladders can't.

The Africa Twin Adventure Tour Seat is the upgrade you deserve. It's easy to install and scientifically proven to outperform any foam seat on the market. And, it's from Saddlemen – well-known by discriminating riders for the highest level of craftsmanship. Our products ensure that you'll have an enjoyable ride – regardless of the distance. As always, it's our goal to support you with top-quality solutions that will help you push the limits of both man and machine.

Available in Adventure Track and Adventure Tour styles. Each can be ordered with or without a driver backrest. Each style can be purchased in high or low seat height versions which are specifically designed to eliminate the unsightly gap between the seat and tank that occurs with the stock Honda seat. The Saddlemen Africa Twin seat is a unique upgrade that will enhance your Honda Adventure Bike’s appearance while improving the quality of your ride for miles and miles.

The ideal cover for a motorcycle must exhibit many features, and Saddlemen utilizes the best material, Saddlehyde™, which provides the optimum combination of good looks, comfort and durability. First, Saddlehyde™, has a luxurious look and feel due to its leather grain and soft touch feel. Second, Saddlehyde™ has a built in compliance, or stretch, that enhances the gel and foam characteristics for increased comfort. Many other materials, including many leathers, are more board like and prevent the foam or gel from doing their job of softening your ride. Third, motorcycle seats are exposed to some of the worst conditions imaginable; bright sun, heat, rain and constant flexing, conditions that ruin the looks and durability of ordinary materials. Saddlehyde™ excels in these conditions and constant application of conditioners is not required.


Our unique Co-mold process is the largest comfort advancement in motorcycle seating since the creation of the suspension.

The Cushion Layer

The top sculpted layer is the sensory layer. It cushions and provides that nice soft touch.

The Absorption Layer

The middle layer isolates vibration, absorbs and dampens shock, disperses the pressure and promotes blood flow which alleviates hot spots created by foam only seating solutions.

The Support Layer

The bottom layer “the shell” is the stability layer. The polyurethane substructure completes the seating foundation to provide a truly unique riding experience.


Scientifically proven, this amazing product will increase the amount of time you spend on your motorcycle. A seat made with SaddleGel is scientifically engineered to dampen, divert and deflect the energy from road shock which air bladders and 70 year old foam only seat technology cannot protect you from.

Our SaddleGel has the ability to conform to all body shapes, sizes, and contours to reduce pressure points and promote blood flow which minimizes “hot spots “associated the pain and discomfort.

Otherwise, pressure points or “hot spots” can hinder blood flow, causing pain and discomfort. Normal circulation is never lost on a seat with SaddleGel and it keeps you comfortable on a long ride.


Whether it's a football helmet, hospital bed, knee pad or body armor, the foam it contains plays a critical role in making that product both comfortable and safe. But can that foam be transformed into something significantly better, safer and more comfortable?

Foam only seating dates back to the 1940’s. Still after 70 years many motorcycle seating manufactures solely rely on this low cost solution ignoring the advancements in technology.

Years of study, combined with practical experience, has led to the formulation of Saddlemen’s Progressive Density Foam. The chemical make-up and raw material volume is carefully tuned to create a foam pour that is balanced between support and compliance. Varied cell sizes and types are encapsulated in the foam by an element-resistant skin that seals the foam from water and enhances the seat’s durability as well as comfort.

To complete the process then tunes the density and shape which are also necessary to provide the superior foundation for Saddlemen’s unique co-molding process that optimizes reduction is vibrations and shock directly related to rider fatigue.


Unlike most foam that has open holes at the surface, Saddlemen’s Profoam actually has an abrasion resistant skin that resists water intrusion. This barrier is engineered to form during the molding process and protects the micro cellular foam core from breaking down, which is common with many OEM and aftermarket seats.
