The Honda XL750 Transalp is one of the most popular adventure motorcycles on the market today. Born from Honda’s desire to dominate the mid-displacement ADV segment, the Transalp dares to challenge models like the Yamaha Tenere 700 and the Aprilia Tuareg 660, combining off-road capability with the comfort of long-distance travel.
Naturally, all factory motorcycles are manufactured with a certain degree of compromise. In this aspect, Touratech, one of the most recognized and reliable brands in the market, may have exactly what Honda Transalp owners who intend to cover long distances want with their new Comfort seats.
The Comfort Seats are manufactured in Germany and developed and produced by Touratech’s partner, Crew68, with the idea of being easy to use and comfortable. That’s why both are easy to install, allowing you to switch between the Comfort seat and the original seat for various riding situations.
Regarding construction, the seats achieve a balance between comfort and firmness, as a seat that sits in the balance zone is desired. Touratech achieves this with a firm foam core and a hollow groove along the seat. It is said that these provide additional support while relieving pressure on the coccyx.
On the exterior, Touratech has applied the Fresh Touch fabric to the seat, which is waterproof and durable for greater longevity. The seat cover also has a suede-like finish, which Touratech claims reflects infrared sunlight, thus reducing surface heating when you return to your bike hours after parking it in the sun, for example.
For a broader audience, the seats of the XL750 Transalp can be customized with three seat height options to choose from, as well as foam firmness.
