We've always been big fans of the GS line and are fully aware of how capable the machines are, but even we were surprised how many people ride the new 1300 like a Sportbike. As a matter of fact, our buddy Rick (who loaned us this bike) has been doing track days with his. Which explains why Corbin developed a Supermoto seat for it!
Aggressive seating position, clean lines and high density foam are the perfect combination for this latest incarnation of BMW's GS. Wide seating platform gives excellent body support while providing ease of movement front to back to allow for spirited riding. This custom design is similar to our popular Dual Sport seat models with a bit more shaping.
Inside the saddle we use a proprietary foam material called Comfort Cell that provides a firm, resilient ride that lasts. Developed especially for Corbin and our patented manufacturing technique, Comfort Cell can be cast to the density best suited for each saddle design. This allows us to make each saddle provide just the right amount of support... too soft and you feel like you're bouncing off the basepan, too hard and you may as well be sitting on the fender.
Casting our foam allows us to design complex shapes that conform to the contours of your body. We call this "ergonomic shaping" and it gives you more square inches of body contact for better weight dispersion. This shaping also helps to eliminate pressure points and hot spots created by flat seats and soft foam. Towards the nose we keep the shape narrow to aid ground reach.
The Corbin model is much wider in the contact area and is built with denser, sculpted foam that supports your body weight over a greater area and equalizes pressure. Seating position has also been neutralized to curb sliding in the saddle.
For an added bit of luxury, our Supermoto saddle is available with electric heat built into the front seating position. Perfect for those early morning rides (or Fall track days at Laguna Seca where it gets coastal cold!) Please note, if your bike didn't come with a heated seat, you may need to go to your dealer to have the seat heater controls activated in the bike's computer.
On top we use only the highest grade of weather resistant materials for durability and long life. We dressed up this model with Gray Alcantara seating panels, Charcoal Alcantara trim (center), Matte Black sides, Coordinated stitching and Silver Corbin BMW logo. Cover is completely hand sewn and riveted to our rigid Fibertech basepan. Naturally, the material selection is provided at no extra charge.
Saddle installs using your existing key lock and rides on rubber bumpers to protect your bodywork and chassis.
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.
FIBERTECH™ BASEPAN:
A purpose-built hybrid material that provides a firm foundation
to support the carefully designed ergonomics of the Corbin
saddle. It provides a precision fit to every arc and contour of
the machine and rides on rubber bumpers to protect your paint.
We always design our basepans as flat as possible so bumps or
odd shapes don't telegraph through the foam to your body.

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!

ERGONOMIC SHAPING:
A major part of the design criteria of the Corbin saddle is its
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 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!

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, click the button for
more information.
GENUINE LEATHER:
We use leather in all panels of the seat that contact your body.
This provides a luxurious ride that breathes with your body.
Leather will also break in along with the foam shape to support
a personalized fit. Available in a wide range of textures and
styles to suit your taste.

ELECTRIC HEAT:
As an option, we can include electric heat in this saddle!
This option provides a true bit of luxury for when the
temperature starts to drop. Installation is simple, with the
major components pre-built into the saddle. Just wire in the
included pigtail and you're ready to roll.
