Dual Sport, Super Motard or Street Hooligan? Regardless of your DR 650's setup, Corbin's got your back(side). Our saddle design combines the functionality of a motorcross seat with the street smart ergonomics of Corbin design. End result being a truly functional perch that gives you comfort for the long haul. So whether your travels carry you over hard pack, loam or asphalt, you'll find the Corbin perch as versatile as your bike.
Today's Dual Sport ride expects you spend one moment blasting up some blacktop just to find yourself, five minutes later, sliding down a sandy goat trail thinly disguised as a fire road. It's moments like this that make you appreciate the ability to move your body around on the bike. Notice how you're able to slide up the tank to coax your bike through that sandy corner or unhindered all the way back to the fender to skim over the whoops. This is essential if you want to avoid parting company with your bike unexpectedly.
As your map leads you to tamer terrain, just slide back toward the rear of the seat for a sculpted bucket shape. This is where street riders have been enjoying the benefits of Corbin design for almost four decades! Now available for offroad machines, this dished shaping creates more square inches of body contact for added support and elimination of hot spots. Have a seat and soak up your highway miles in comfort while you catch your breath from that last leg of the event. The Corbin saddle also works excellent for your Super Motard or Hooligan commuter!
Any Dual Sport rider that's made it past the first checkpoint can tell you that foam density makes a difference: Too soft and you feel like you're bouncing off the basepan, too hard and you may as well be sitting on the fender. We use our exclusive Comfort CellŪ foam to cast a shape that gives you the proper blend of resilience with long lasting support. Our ergonomic shape provides plenty of lateral support when you slide rearward and is sculpted narrower in the front for ground reach and mobility.
On top we use only the highest grade of weather resistant materials for durability and long life. You know we couldn't stop there, so we dressed it up in a Carbon-Fiber embossed vinyl seating that gives it a bit more flair with our new Asphalt side panels for grip. Cover is completely hand sewn and riveted to our rigid Fibertech basepan. Naturally, the material selection is completely up to you even is you just want a plain black saddle... we aim to please.
We have two versions of this saddle available. Both are similar in shape and design, but one is engineered to work with the stock Suzuki DR 650 tank while the other is made for the IMS large tank (shown here). This image is also a good view of the options we have to make your saddle custom. As always, we include a range of different styles and colors to suit your taste. Naturally the saddle installs easily so you're back on the road (trail) fast. Just transfer the two stock brackets from your OEM seat onto the Corbin and mount our seat just like stock.

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...
