I am so glad you made this one. I didn’t realize they have a 2 to 4 week lead in shipping. I went to order one before my trip this week, so I opted for the Air Hawk seat pad. It actually works pretty good when set up per instructions. I can’t wait till i get home and order one. Your information as always, is great. I put 1,165 miles in 2 days and have about 2,500 to 3K to go. I really could use that seat, but I’m not disappointed with the pad I bought.

I got a tall version for my WR250R. Gives me that excellent legroom and all day riding comfort. My theory is that the stiffer foam puts more pressure on your pelvic bone much like a good bicycle seat. So while it doesn’t feel like a sofa, it gives you that comfort where you can forget about your butt and just enjoy the ride.

Good to hear the seat is working well for you mate. I was very close to getting one but just couldn't stomach spending that much money on an unknown quantity. Instead I found a local upholsterer with motorcycle seat experience and many positive reviews from motorcyclists.. Took my stock seat to them, got it recovered and additional foam added to make it taller, wider and most importantly much much comfier. The best part was that this worked out much more economical, all of this cost only £150! And that includes me taking the seat back to them to tweak the shape to my liking after a few days of initial test riding it. Would definitely recommend this option to anyone wanting a tailored solution :)

I agreed with all your points. The longer rides is where you really feel it on the 701 SC seat. My 690 2015 SC seat was much more soft from the start. The 701 is also much more comfortable than probably all other bikes i have had, probably due to the flat seat that you can shift around on and also that it is easy to just stand up. On my current T7 i feel that you are a bit more locked in place, and the rally seat was to tall on such a heavy bike, even though it was probably them same height as my 701.

Just added a standard height version to my 701. 5 hour ride at the weekend confirmed it is MUCH better than a stock seat. I bought the kit and fitted it myself. My tip, do it in the sun on a really warm day. I fitted mine in lower temps and now when the weather is hot, the fabric is a bit loose. I'm going to re-staple mine and put more tension on it. The big downside was the lead time. I ordered in August 2021 and took delivery in February or March of this year.

I was considering buying a Seat concept seat, and still may? As of now I had my seat custom made to fit my needs by a local shop near me that specializes in custom motorcycle seats. The shop that makes the seats is very reputable and the guy does amazing work, but there is only so much that can be done to make a 690 seat super comfortable. I have not ridden the bike on any real long distance rides yet to feel how well i will like it, but for the rides I've been on it seems to work, although I did reuse the original stock cover which I'm not pleased with, but it is still much more comfortable than the stock foam that was in it. If I'm not happy with it after some longer rides i will ether return to the shop to have a custom cover made or get a seat concept seat. I hope the new seat that is being sent to you holds up better than the first one. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

@@JohannesDalen no not $600. I think it cost me around $300, but it all depends on what kind of seat a person has on their bike, and what kind of cover the person wants. On a large bike it can cost $700 to $800+. What like about the custom seat is that it fitted to the rider and the needs they have. He also installs seat heaters, but for my type of bike and how thin the seat is it wasn't possible, but I could have more foam installed and a different cover and then he could install a heater. I may go back and talk to him about getting that done, but that will be another $300 or $400 and then I will have spent $600 or more. Sometimes it's not as cheap as one might think to own a motorcycle. 🤣

I have the low semi gripper top on my ktm 690. It's great for all day travels as you mentioned in your video. Super comfy. I also feel that it adds a bit in being able to control the bike on the road. The only negative I can think of, is the rear is a bit too wide. This makes it harder to get right back over the rear of the bike, such as when doing technical decents.

I can ride my ktm 690 for 3 hours give or take before I start to feel the pain start. I’ve tried a couple different pads that strap over the seat where I sit most of the time. The one that I’ve found works well for me really doesn’t add padding but is like a mesh that allows airflow between me and the seat. It’s made by a company called Baddass moto and is a double layer that uses Velcro straps to mount it and has a rubber coating on the underside that keeps it from sliding around. I have to admit that I was skeptical at first that it would do anything but I truly can feel the air flow and it has made longer rides more enjoyable for me. Maybe one day I’ll purchase one of these seat concepts seats but for now the mesh pad is helping. It was $29

I love the profile look and the little extra room I have to get my short legs to the ground. I DO NOT like the foam they used. Maybe it’s just my low version but it’s a plank and hard as a rock.

Interesting, I guess since mine is taller there’s more foam, and therefore it’s a significant improvement over stock.

I have the 1 inch lower seat for the drz. It is great, durable, have had it for about 16000 km and has held up beautifully, and I am not gentle with it. However, this is unrelated to quality, the lowering forward portion forces you into that nose heavy position if you’re not careful as sliding into the valley between seat and tank is rather easy, and holding your rear end far aft enough makes you feel like you are perched up higher than you should be, but it does lower the seat like it is supposed to.

I've had one issue though and that was pain in my knees from the standing position (189cm, 34" inseam), where my knees meet the bike exactly at the edge of the rear plastic parts.

The standing position feels very secure with a lot of seat to grip, especially the grippy material SC uses. I think the XL version looks almost too big, but I’m sure it’s comfy. Just got home from a week long TET trip with the 701, what a fantastic bike, excited to hear your report once you get some more time on your bike.

Foam quality does matter, but I think the most important thing for comfort is having enough foam, which you can't because it will add inches in seat height. There are a few different products you can put on top of the stock seat to make it more comfortable, without adding too much height. What about a sheepskin cover? I've used that in the past and it made a huge improvement in comfort. Not very good if you're riding technical offroad, but for general traveling it works well.

Do they actually manufacture the seat pans themselves? I assumed they either bough oem or aftermarket pans and installed their cover and foam on top for a complete seat build. I'm considering one for my Beta 200rr. I think Beta has taken the lead from Husky for the most uncomfortable seat.

@@JohannesDalen En liten followup her. Hvilke tanker har du om passformen på Marrakesh etter å ha brukt den en stund? Jeg er 186 høy, snaue 90 kg og havner midt mellom M og L på size chart på brystmål og midje men er en klar L på armene. Jeg bestilte jakka i L (var ikke tilgjengelig i M) og jeg er litt usikker på om den sitter for løst rett og slett. Du er jo ganske høy og ser relativt slank ut så hvordan vil du sin den amerikanske passformen på denne jakka funker? Alle jakkene jeg eier er jo L med en relativt løs fit men stretchen i denne jakka får det liksom til å føles litt større ut.

@@Slangebob Hvordan er lengden på armene? Jeg kunne passet L nå som jeg har slanket meg en god del, men jeg vil heller ha for romslig enn for trang. Da får jeg plass til en tynn dunjakke under når det er kaldt osv.

IMO, get the least expensive seat concept, which is their put-together-yourself kit. If you still find it uncomfortable, add an air-filled seat topper from Amazon. I say this because I purchased their more expensive model and after an hour of riding, my butt is hurting bad. I thought maybe it need to break-in, but after a few months its still the same. I ended up buying the air-filled seat topper and its way better.

I'm a cheapskate. For $600 that seat better give me a massage with a happy ending!

When paying $600 for a seat it better offer couch like comfort.

It’s a lot firmer than a couch, but it is very comfortable. However, I agree 600$ is a hefty price tag.

To be fair, it costs $360 USD. Tacking on the extraneous costs associated with shipping to NL does not raise the value to justify quality expectations of a $600 product.

I have a Seat Concepts Comfort Seat kit on my DR650 and it is far and away one of the worst seat foams I have ever experienced on a motorcycle. This company needs to stop making a joke of their company by calling their product a "Comfort Seat" because it is anything but that. Great seat cover though, very nice, but whoever makes the foam for the seat should be fired and deported to Mars.

Can't stand being forced to watch TWO ads before being able to view this video. Won't be doing that again!

And I thought military men where hard core, harden up cup cake, after market seats are for PC office staff not real motorcyclist’s. What’s the next episode ? Where to get the best Skinny Latte in Scandinavia ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
