A Strong Foundation for True Comfort
Every premium motorcycle seat begins with one essential ingredient — a solid base. Beneath the handcrafted leather and refined stitching of a Bastille Atelier seat, the seat pan plays a defining role in comfort, performance, and longevity.
Where most riders focus on foam or leather, the real difference also lies underneath. That’s where Motone’s injection-moulded ABS seat pan stands out as the ideal companion to Bastille Atelier’s luxury craftsmanship.
Motone ABS Seat Pan vs. Triumph Stock: What’s the Difference?
Many Triumph stock seat pans are made from polypropylene (PP) — a light, cost-efficient material that does its job but tends to flex and fatigue over time. Cracks around staple points or uneven foam compression aren’t uncommon after years of use or customisation.
The Motone ABS seat base, however, is built as a true structural upgrade. Made from injection-moulded ABS plastic, it offers far greater rigidity and resistance to cracking or warping. The kit includes rubber buffers and metal mounting hooks for a precise, vibration-damped fit on the frame — creating a foundation that feels tight, durable, and premium.
Key Advantages of the Motone ABS Base:
Increased Rigidity: The ABS material provides a solid structure that enhances overall seat performance.
Durability: Resistant to cracking and warping, ensuring longevity.
Vibration Dampening: Rubber buffers help absorb shocks, making your ride smoother.
Real-World Benefits: Stability You Can Feel
Out on the open road, that engineering difference translates into real comfort. A rigid ABS seat pan means less flex during acceleration or when shifting your weight through corners, and more consistent foam support over long rides.
The stronger base keeps the seat shape stable, preserving Bastille Atelier’s carefully contoured foam and ensuring your riding posture remains natural and fatigue-free. Whether you ride solo or two-up, the difference is tangible: firm, balanced, and secure.
Comfort on Long Rides
When I take my bike out for a long journey, I can truly appreciate the comfort that comes from a well-constructed seat. The combination of the Motone ABS seat pan and Bastille Atelier’s luxurious leather creates an experience that enhances every mile.
