Looking for a taller, firmer seat for my '16 R1200RS. Based on what I've been reading, it's sounding like the Sargent seat is as soft or softer than the BMW OEM seat. I'm wondering if the Wunderlich is any firmer. Have any of you tried both, and if so, could you describe the differences?
Do what you can while you still can.

Zitat von VintageThumper im Beitrag #1 I have owned one Sargent seat and my wife has owned two. These Sargent seats were firmer than the OEM seats of the K1200RS and K1300S.

I have tried both. Both are similarly firmer than the OEM, and either one would be a solid upgrade. However, seats being as subjective as they are for each of us, I subscribe to the seat theory that 'if I never think about it, then it is probably just right'. I am 5'7"/32" inseam. You metric folks will have to convert...! The Sargent is canted back in a way that made me feel like sitting on a toilet. Very uncomfortable after an hour or so. The Wunderlich feels closer to the OEM dimensions, which I liked to begin with. I have done several multi-day rides on the Wunderlich. Excellent, no issues at all. I chose the Rider Standard, but you might look at Rider Tall if height is an issue. I also added the Cool Cover, which seems a little gimmicky, but works great, both heat and rain. I would recommend that as well. |

I have a Corbin on my RS, it is firmer and slightly larger than the OEM. I had a Wunderlich on a GS and it was firmer than OEM also.
