Dual Sport saddle for Honda XR 650 L

Leave it to the innovators at Corbin to build a seat as versatile as the four-stroke thumper itself. Our Dual Sport design combines the functionality of a motocross seat with the comfort of Corbin's ergonomic design. Works great for dirt riding, trail riding or dual sport riding. Naturally, the styling is all Corbin with a variety of custom options included.

Like all Corbin designs, 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 a lower center of gravity. 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. Or slide back to skim the front end over the whoops.

Now let's say you're on a Dual Sport ride and you've just finished taming some intense terrain... 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 8". This actually makes the foam of the stock seat crush in and applies pressure to the center of your body. The Corbin model is a full 11" and is built with denser, sculpted foam that supports your body weight over a greater area and equalizes pressure. If you consider actual seating surface, the Corbin model gives you over 200% more body contact! Long story short, greater riding comfort!

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 flair, we are now offering an embossed material in a variety of colors that gives the look of Carbon Fiber (we do not recommend using leather in these saddle models). The traditional Corbin tag has been replaced with a tasteful Corbin logo stitched right into the contrasting side panel. Shown here with Black Carbon-Fiber seating, Asphalt sides and Tomato Red welts.

Saddle mounts similar to stock with two bolts into the chassis. In order to provide a closer fit to the bodywork and tank, it is necessary to mount the supplied seat bracket to the bike first, then mount the seat to the bracket. Illustrated instructions can be found in the NOTES tab.
