Reinforcing the Foundation: Motone ABS Seat Pan & Bastille Atelier

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. And 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:

• Stronger and more heat-resistant than stock polypropylene pans

• Resists cracking when re-stapling or re-upholstering

• Includes vibration buffers and mounting hardware

• Designed for Triumph air-cooled twins (2001–2015) and custom builds

• Designed for Triumph Post-2016 Bonneville twins

  
  

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.

The Perfect Match for Bastille Atelier Leather Seats

At Bastille Atelier, every seat is handcrafted in France using multi-density Bultex™ foam and premium full-grain leathers, tailored for both style and performance. But even the finest materials rely on a solid structure to perform at their best.

Pairing our artisan-made seat with Motone’s ABS seat base ensures:

• Perfect support for the leather and foam structure

• Consistent comfort over time

• Greater resistance to deformation and moisture

• A seamless fit between craftsmanship and engineering

Together, Motone’s precision design and Bastille Atelier’s artisanal touch create more than just a motorcycle seat — they create an experience. One built on strength, refined through comfort, and finished in timeless French style.

Upgrade Your Triumph Seat the Right Way

A true seat upgrade is more than just leather and stitching — it’s about building from the base up. The combination of Motone’s ABS seat pan and Bastille Atelier’s handcrafted seat gives your Triumph a foundation as strong as its heritage, and as refined as your ride deserves.
