Tuning and modding » Aftermarket seats

Does anyone have experience with the Wunderlich ergo seat? I had a Sargent on my old bike, but they appear wider and more touring oriented and I'm not sure I want one on the new RS. Any opinions? Thanks.

If you're going for big, repteating days in the saddle you'll need something.

1200Km's in two days has left me feeling like Bubba's cell mate

Emergency plan B is padded cycling shorts, once I am back at MOTO-MATE towers I will be buying an evaluation unit on the business in the name of product development.

I was looking at the Corbin seat. I like the blue accents and the price is less than Sargent. http://www.corbin.com/bmw/bmwr12rs16e.shtml

I retrieved my Corbin seat yesterday from my wrecked RS Lupin. It will be fitted to my new 1250 Exclusive. I hope the blue piping didn't clash badly.

Make no mistake, the standard RS saddle is very good.

I chose the Corbin as I had them on my R1100S, the standard seat managed to carry my weiggt on the more squishy bits. Also, I was so impressed with the ergos and feel of the later R1200S, I also wanted it's flatter profile seat.

The Corbin for the RS will go on it soon, but the standard seat may see some use first. The standard one is that good.

I also have a Corbin on my Spyder. The std Spyder seat is hanging on my garage wall. The Corbin is clearly superior in that application.

I should have gotten the taller seat when I bought the bike and I agree the OEM seat is not bad at all.

I agree the stock seat on the RS is the best one I have had on all of my ten bikes. I almost always want to change the seat but not on this one.

Yes. That Corbin looks lush. But I agree the oe seat on the RS is very comfy.

I went with the Wunderlich tall seat and I'm liking it very much. I probably should have gotten a taller seat when I purchased the bike, but c'est le vie at this point.

Didn't see the topic before, but I also have the tall Wunderlich seat and very happy with it! Can ride all day and no discomfort at all.

Does anyone know whether the ride height with the tall Wonderlich seat is higher than the BMW Sports seat (tallest option)?

The Wunderlich tall is 30mm higher than BMW's OEM standard seat:


Standard 790mm
High 820mm (Wunderlich high is 820mm)
Sport 840mm

I went on a long ride on Saturday on the new seat and despite not disliking the oem seat, the new one is much more comfortable. The extra leg room is a big help. The only downside is I feel more like I'm on the bike instead of in the bike.

The reason I went with Wunderlich is that their seat seemed more sport oriented and less touring oriented than the American companies like Sargent and Corbin.

The 790mm seat is the standard seat for the R1200R. The 820mm seat is the standard for the R1200RS.

While I can't find any on-line height info for the Wunderlich seat, it appears similar to BMW sport seat (i.e., no curvature from front to back)

That's funny, for within the Netherlands we have the following:

Low seat is 760 mm low
Standard seat is 820 mm high
Sport seat is 840 mm high

And that should make the Wunderlich Aktivkomfort seats 820 mm and 850 mm high. This is a bit tricky als Wunderlich claim their standard seat equals the BMW standard seat but no real height is mentioned.

I have the Wunderlich Aktivkomfort standard seat on my bike which is, in my view, as high as the standard seat (820) and also a bit wider then the original.
