Moto DriRide seat, for BMW R1200GS until 2012/R1200GS ADV until 2013.

Seat benches from Touratech are available for many models, made of the highest quality materials and specially adapted to the ergonomic requirements of long distances.

This avoids most of the pressure marks due to poorly padded or inappropriately placed seams and effectively protects the buttocks.

A special foam core, which is painstakingly handcrafted and assembled according to anatomically optimized criteria, ensures an even distribution of forces and prevents wear and tear, even after many, many kilometers. In addition to the ideally shaped contours, the bi-elastic upholstery material specially developed for our seats in "Arena" design considerably increases seating comfort.

It improves grip when braking and accelerating and prevents the formation of sweat. The result of our research: optimized contact with the motorcycle and better control in all situations. Not all materials that look the same at first glance have the same properties.

The seams of the comfort seat cushions have been specially treated and are 100% watertight; rainwater does not collect in the tensioned lining. The seat benches can be used modularly, which means that they can be adjusted to the original passenger or driver's seat benches.

At the same time, the contour of the rear seat prevents the passenger from sliding forward.

why don't we offer gel seats?

We consciously dispense with the use of gel inserts, as they prevent the exchange of air in the seating area, which leads to more intense sweating. In addition, the gel reacts depending on the temperature: in cold weather it hardens and becomes uncomfortable, and in hot weather it becomes soft and spongy. Both greatly impair driving comfort and seating sensation. The optimum force distribution of the Touratech seats is obtained from the contours of the foam core obtained during test drives.

Definition of seat height:

To allow a comparison of the heights of our seats and those of your motorcycle, we have specified the heights, measured vertically from the original footrest (removable rubber footrests have not been measured) to the lowest point of the seat. In this way you can compare seats, regardless of model year, frame, chassis fitment and wheels and tires fitted.

DriRide™ breathable seat technology was originally developed by Touratech for Dakar rally riders to make long, hot stages more comfortable. However, the results were so good, that the company decided to make this technology available to all adventurous motorcycle travelers. DriRide™ works in three ways:

Vapor-Flow™ membrane technology allows moisture vapor to pass through the pants and seat upholstery into the seat membrane, where it is expelled out the side of the seat.

Rain-Block™ waterproof seat upholstery repels water droplets that slide down- it's waterproof!

Ergo-Response™ long-distance foam is designed to maintain an upright, stable and evenly distributed riding position - themore miles, the better the feel!

Meeting human needs through technology is a fascinating thing. When you succeed, you make a difference, and that's just what DriRide™ breathable seat technology from Touratech does. DriRide™ breathable seats are available for many motorcycles, in a variety of heights and also in passenger versions.
