The trouble with dirt bikes is… You could start a million sentences this way. But the one first thing street bike riders say when sitting on a dirt bike is “Damn, this seat is tiny!”
Enduro Engineering is a purist kind of company. They make accessories for the hard-core enduro rider and tend to favor KTM. One of their specialties is the “Comfort Seat” designed for various bikes. It’s a HUGE improvement over stock, but it’s still no Russell Day-Long.
The install is super easy, just pop off the old seat, bolt on the new one. The fit and finish was nearly perfect and the textured vinyl cover is sturdy and grippy.
It adds about 1/2-1″ to the height of the bike, so you’ll have a bit more room to relax the knees. I’m 5’10 and it works just right.
The Good
- Fits perfectly
- OEM receiver ‘hitch’ hardware built-in
- Adds a bit more height
- Looks stock minus the patch on the back
- Priced right
- More comfortable and softer than stock
The Bad
- Not good for the vertically challenged
- It’s still a narrow dirt bike seat
- Some say the foam breaks down quickly (I’m 3 years in and so far so good)
The competition includes Renazco, Acerbis, Guts, and SDG.
The nice thing about dirt bikes is… Cheap accessories! Coming from the street bike world you’re going to spend upwards of $400 for a new saddle. Sometimes as high as $1,000 for a dual-seat leather job. But this EE seat comes in at $129, not a bad bargain! EnduroEng.com
