Mounting your motorcycle and hitting the open road is about more than just looking cool — it’s also about comfort.

What to Consider When Choosing the Best Motorcycle Seat Pad

Not all motorcycle seat pads are created equal. There are a variety of designs, materials, and features to consider before making a decision.

Type of Motorcycle

Different motorcycle models and brands have different shaped seats. You need to determine what size motorcycle pad you’ll need.

The most common models include:

• Sports touring
• Adventure touring
• Cruiser
• Standard
• Harleys

Variations do exist within these categories so be sure to measure your seat to find the perfect fit. 

Material

There are three common types of material used in most motorcycle seat pads — foam, gel, and air pocket.

Each material has its own benefits, though air pocket pads by Wild Ass® are by far the most comfortable and ergonomically friendly.

Foam pads are shock-absorbant and are designed to prevent numbness on longer rides. Gel pads are relatively new and are designed to mold to your body for a custom fit. 

Air pocket motorcycle pads allow you to adjust the firmness and height to fit your individual needs. Not only are they shock absorbant but they distribute your weight evenly for a supportive and comfortable ride. 

Design

In life, bigger isn’t always better. This theory applies to finding the best motorcycle seat pad also.

Just because a cushion is thick doesn’t mean it offers the best support. The most important factor is how the seat pad is designed.

You want a cushion that evenly distributes pressure, eliminating painful pressure points on your tailbone, scrotum, and prostate.

A motorcycle pad should also taper from front to back to provide stability and improved leg passage. Be sure the cushion you choose allows for proper ventilation by dispersing heat and moisture as well.
