Touratech comfort seats are now also available for the BMW R 1300 GS. Equipped with a new type of heating as standard, the seats, which are available in different heights, can be easily replaced with the original equipment thanks to plug-and-play technology.

As the central interface between rider and machine, the motorbike seat plays an important role in a holistic ergonomic concept. Touratech has been committed to this important area of vehicle equipment for three decades and has developed world-leading technologies for optimum motorcycle seating.

Advanced technologies for maximum comfort
Touratech comfort seats always have a core made of high-quality foam, the properties of which are not only model-specific, but also customised depending on the respective padding thickness using individual formulations. The carefully shaped foam core has an anatomically optimised groove that relieves pressure on the coccyx and concentrates power transmission on the sit bones. The precisely defined angle of the seat surface supports an ergonomically correct posture. The ingenious design of the seat cross-section makes it possible to realise a minimum crotch arch length with maximum cushion thickness. This makes it easy to reach the ground with your feet despite the generous upholstery.

Premium quality made in Germany
Touratech comfort seats are supplied exclusively as a ready-to-mount unit, so that easy replacement with a perfect fit is guaranteed. Like the foam core, the high-quality, accurately fitting seat base is a quality product made in Germany. Touratech comfort seats are equipped with the advanced Fresh Touch cover as standard. The special finish of this material ensures intense reflection of the sun's rays, reducing the heating of the surface by up to 10 degrees Celsius compared to conventional materials. Naturally, all seams are carefully taped so that the cover is 100 per cent waterproof.

Comfort seats with model-specific features for the BMW R 1300 GS
The new Touratech comfort seats for the BMW R 1300 GS also build on this high-quality technical basis. And they impress with a number of additional model-specific details. The most striking feature is the elaborate decor, which is coordinated with the vehicle design but sets striking visual accents. 
However, the seats also have some special technical features. The pillion seat, for example, has no longitudinal adjustment, so that a bombproof hold is guaranteed. This was made possible by the anatomical contour, which allows the pillion passenger to sit in a sovereign position independently of the rider. 

Optimum heat diffusion thanks to innovative heating technology
The new Touratech comfort seats for the BMW R 1300 GS, which are always supplied with heating, also offer real innovations on the inside. A new technology enables even more homogeneous heat distribution over a maximum area. The extremely slim design of the new seat heating, which is completely laminated into the base material, now makes it possible for the first time to equip low - and therefore thinly upholstered - seats with this comfort feature.

Plug & Play: Simple replacement, operation as usual
As you would expect from Touratech, the new heated seats for the BMW R 1300 GS also work as an easy-to-install plug-and-play solution. They are operated as usual via the existing BMW control system. This means: via a rotary switch on the handlebars for the rider's seat and a separate switch for the pillion rider.

The rider's seat for the BMW R 1300 GS is available in four heights: low (-2 cm seat height), standard (standard seat height), high (+2 cm) and extra high (+4 cm). The pillion seat is always supplied in standard height.
