The BMW F 900 GS covers a particularly broad range of use cases – from tough off-road terrain to long holiday trips. According to Touratech, the demands on ergonomics are correspondingly high, especially on the seat as the central interface between rider and bike. With a new, one-piece comfort seat, Touratech now presents an alternative to the standard seat, designed to appeal to both sporty adventure riders and long-distance touring riders.

The BMW F 900 GS is built for off-road terrain and long journeys. With the new Touratech comfort seat in a sporty Trophy look, ergonomics are now set to reach a higher level too. Multi-layer foam core, Fresh Touch cover and three seat heights promise more comfort on road and gravel.

Multi-layer foam core for the BMW F 900 GS
As with all Touratech comfort seats, a multi-layer core made from high-quality foams is used. Depending on the chosen seat height, individually tuned foam formulas are used to achieve a precisely defined balance of support and cushioning. The ergonomically shaped seating surface features an integrated relief zone in the tailbone area. This is intended to noticeably reduce localized pressure points.

A precisely defined seat angle also supports a natural, upright seating position and can reduce fatigue on long stretches. Especially on an adventure bike like the BMW F 900 GS, the seat determines whether a tour is relaxed or turns into a long tour of suffering – this is where Touratech applies targeted ergonomics.
Thoughtful geometry for off-road and everyday use
Despite the high padding thickness, the geometry of the comfort seat is designed to achieve a narrow seat width. This ensures that reaching the ground remains possible even for shorter riders. The one-piece design also allows unrestricted freedom of movement – particularly important during off-road use, when frequent weight shifts while standing or sitting are required.

Three seat heights for individual ergonomics
The Touratech comfort seat for the BMW F 900 GS is available in three variants:
- Low: approx. 54 cm
- Standard: approx. 56 cm (matches stock)
- High: approx. 58 cm
Price: 529.00 Euro

Measurement is taken vertically from the footpeg to the lowest point of the seat. The seat is supplied fully ready to fit and can be installed without any modifications to the vehicle. Manufacturing takes place by hand in Germany. Further color variants are in preparation.
The patented Fresh Touch material is used as the cover material. This is characterized by lower surface heating under sun exposure and, according to the manufacturer, stays up to ten degrees Celsius cooler than conventional seat covers. Visually, the comfort seat is inspired by the striking Trophy design of the BMW F 900 GS. The color scheme in red, white and blue thus blends seamlessly into the bike's design.

Conclusion: Touratech comfort seat for the BMW F 900 GS
The comfort seat noticeably lifts the F 900 GS's ergonomics above stock level. At its core is a multi-layer foam that distributes pressure over long stretches better than the rather firmly padded stock seat. According to the manufacturer, the Fresh Touch cover stays up to ten degrees cooler in blazing sun and is slip-resistant, which helps when standing or shifting your position on gravel. Practical is the choice of three seat heights from roughly 54 to 58 centimeters, so the seat adapts to your inseam instead of the other way around. The one-piece construction is made in Germany, delivered ready to install, and fits without any modifications. At around 529 Euro it's no bargain. Worthwhile for high-mileage riders on the F 900 GS who want to survive day-long stretches without a numb backside and who value having the right seat height.
