Corbin has made the perfect saddle for Honda's go-anywhere, do-anything bike. Our Dual Sport saddle combines the functionality of an offroad seat with the comfort of our ergonomic design. This seat works great for dirt, trail and street with cool Corbin styling to appeal to the eyes.
Like all Corbin saddles, we start by crafting a seat using our high-density Comfort Cell foam. Comfort Cell retains resiliency and doesn't crush down like the stock foam so we can build a lower seating platform. This gives you better ground reach and balanced riding position. For the off-road enthusiast we were sure to leave enough nose to allow you to slide up the tank and get through the corners faster.
Now let's say you're on a Dual Sport ride and you've just finished a bout with a nasty stretch of trail... you have some paved miles ahead to catch your breath. Slide towards the rear of the seat and you'll find a wider sculpted bucket shape. This area of the seat gives you more square inches of body contact and the firm support you need for amazing comfort. By the time you hit the next leg of rough stuff you'll be well rested and ready for more.
As you're seated, the bones in your posterior that take most of your body weight are roughly seven inches apart. Strangely enough, this is true for most adults (I'm not making this up!) Your stock seat at its widest point is about 6.5". This actually makes the foam of the stock seat crush in and applies pressure to the center of your body. The Corbin model is much wider (nine inches) and is built with denser, sculpted foam that supports your body weight over a greater area and equalizes pressure.
On the top, we cover it with only the highest grade of weather resistant materials for durability and long life. To add a bit of traction, we use our black Asphalt material on the top seating area and side panels. The traditional Corbin tag has been replaced with a tasteful Corbin logo stitched right into the side panel. Installation is simple with a tongue in the front and two bolts into the saddle from the sides just like stock.
UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY: The design and manufacture of Corbin products is so unique that Mike Corbin himself holds more than 60 United States Patents! From the process itself to new innovations like the Corbin Glovebox, you can count on highly functional and unique products that work. Corbin products are manufactured under one or more of the following US Patents: 6,848,156 B2; 6,729,516 B2; D 489,540S; 6,655,740 B1; 6,422,648 B1; 5,544,937; 5,608,957; 4,953,911; D545,073S & 6,971,714 B1.
COMFORT CELL® FOAM: The heart of the Corbin saddle! Our exclusive, purpose built foam material, called Comfort Cell, was created to provide a firm, resilient ride that doesn't break down. This means it will support you for long days on the road. Over time, Comfort Cell will break in to provide a personalized fit to your posture and even greater comfort! For the complete story just click the button.
ERGONOMIC SHAPING: A major part of the design criteria of the Corbin saddle is the Ergonomic shape. This means the saddle's foam shape is designed to emulate the curves of the human body. This provides more square inches of body contact and helps to eliminate hot spots. This shaping also neutralizes the seating platform to help curb sliding in the saddle which reduces fatigue. In a nutshell... more comfort for a longer ride! Just click the button at left for an animation that shows how it works.
PATENTED MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY: Always an innovator, Mike Corbin invented Integrated Molding technology which is now the process by which all Corbin saddles are made. This process allows extremely tight tolerances and creates a chemical bond between the foam and base material. To see what this is all about, just click the button for More Info
FIBERTECH™ BASEPAN: A purpose built, hybrid material that provides a firm foundation to support the carefully designed ergonomics of the Corbin saddle. Provides a precision fit to every arc and contour of the machine and rides on rubber bumpers to protect your paint. Click on the button at left to learn more...
