Why is the stock Suzuki GSX-S 1000 seat uncomfortable?
The GSX-S 1000 is an excellent motorcycle, its original saddle, much less so. To maintain a competitive price, Suzuki compromises on upholstery. Foam too thin, generic shape, slippery coating, GSX-S 1000 saddle originally designed to seduce in dealerships, not to hold up on the road.
A foam that is too thin and too firm
The original Suzuki GSX-S 1000 seat pad is designed to be lightweight and inexpensive. Result: a fine foam which compresses quickly and no longer plays its role as a shock absorber after a few tens of minutes. The vibrations go straight to your pelvis, and pain sets in.
A shape unsuitable for the rider’s body shape
The GSX-S 1000 saddle The original is designed for the "average driver", an abstract notion that does not correspond to anyone in particular. Too flat, it does not promote good positioning of the pelvis and tires the muscles in less than an hour.
A slippery surface that forces the driver to hold on
The original synthetic covering of the Suzuki GSX-S 1000 saddle tends to slip, especially in summer. To compensate, the pilot unconsciously contracts his muscles, which generates additional fatigue on long journeys.
The problem is not with your GSX-S 1000 — it is with its original saddle. And that’s settled.
Custom-made Suzuki GSX-S 1000 motorcycle saddle: the definitive solution for pain-free riding
The custom GSX-S 1000 saddle is based on a simple principle: every rider is different. Where the original saddle makes compromises, the tailor-made saddle adapts to your weight, your body shape and your riding style.
A GSX-S 1000 saddle pad redesigned from A to Z
The heart of the problem is the foam. A tailor-made GSX-S 1000 saddle incorporates high-density foam selected according to your weight and use. It absorbs vibrations, distributes pressure evenly across the entire pelvis and does not compress over time. The difference is felt from the first hour of driving, and it lasts.
A shape adapted to your body shape
Width, profile, inclination, everything is designed to promote natural positioning of the pelvis, reduce pressure points and free your muscles from unnecessary tension. The less you fight against your Suzuki GSX-S 1000 saddle, the more you enjoy your motorcycle.
A premium non-slip coating
No more slippery surfaces. A tailor-made GSX-S 1000 saddle pad includes a premium anti-slip coating. You stay in place naturally, without muscular effort.
