What Makes a Sargent Seat the Best Choice for Long Rides
Built Better

Many different elements go into making a comfortable motorcycle seat. When you’re researching your next upgrade, it can be hard to define what truly makes each brand unique. At Sargent Cycle Products, we stand out because we’re built better. We use our patented Zone Suspension Body Contouring Technology to make the most comfortable motorcycle seats. From the foam to the stitching, each element uses our proprietary construction process to deliver the best comfort.
Is a Gel or Foam Motorcycle Seat More Supportive?
Just because it feels good in the showroom doesn’t mean it feels good on a cross-country ride. We often see riders make the mistake of choosing a gel or soft foam seat. While you may initially think it means more comfortable riding, chances are it doesn’t have enough support for your body.
We use a firm foam that retains suspension and supports you as you ride. We combine this Super Cell Atomic Foam with an improved shape to relieve pressure. A Sargent seat is wider than the typical stock seat with a slightly cup-shaped design. This creates more even weight distribution and relief on pressure points. We also eliminate the “forward slope” of stock seats, giving you a level seat from front to back. This means you can ride comfortably from one destination to the next.
What is the Most Durable Motorcycle Seat Fabric?
While we all love the smell of leather, it doesn’t make the best motorcycle seat fabric. When you’re riding through the elements, the last thing you want to do is stop to condition your seat, and inadvertently, your pants too. A leather motorcycle seat can’t stand the harsh outdoor conditions without constant maintenance. When you’re paying for a premium comfort seat, you want it to last.
We use a maintenance-free, outdoor-rated PVC vinyl-coated material as our motorcycle seat fabric. To keep the seat watertight, we use a proprietary M1 Aplix Seam Technology. There’s no need to worry about a waterlogged seat or electrical issues. Your seat is designed to handle the everyday elements of touring. If you can ride through it, your Sargent seat can handle it.
What Makes a Sargent Seat More Comfortable?
When your customer service team is in-house, you need to be prepared for any question. One we get asked often is, “What makes your seats better?”.
Every time, the answer is our patented Zone Suspension Body Contour Technology. Since 2016, each Sargent seat release has featured the technology that earns our reputation for premium comfort.
- Super Cell Atomic Foam - With the perfect firmness and spring, this foam is what takes support and suspension to the next level.
- M1 Aplix Seam Technology - Our proprietary seam construction keeps water out without heavy gluing and uncomfortable wires.
- Central Pressure Relief Channel - This channel in the middle of the seat relieves pressure under delicate anatomy areas as you ride.
- Superior Heat Technology - This patented technology molds the heat pads just below the foam’s surface for optimum performance.
- Body Contour & Pressure Absorbing Layer - As you ride, a special layer of memory foam forms to your unique body shape, eliminating ‘hot spots’.
We take all of these extra steps because it’s more than just a comfortable motorcycle seat. This is how you choose to spend your free time. Something that we don’t get much of these days. We take the extra care in how we build our seats so you can make the most of your ride.
If you’re ready for an upgrade, shop comfortable motorcycle seats and find the perfect fit today.
