Ducati described their latest Superbike series as follows "… possesses the form of a pure sports bike: low, long, and narrow with exciting componentry and a technical look." Naturally, the Corbin design team came through with a saddle model that fits perfectly with this exciting theme. A component that adds to the visual appeal while providing a perch that enhances enjoyment of your super bike with supportive comfort. Inspired by Ducati's detailed lines, Corbin's design innovation comes through again!
Built low and sly to keep a nice clean look on your bike. Right up front you'll notice the lack of our usual characteristic colored welts. While in the design process, we noticed that in adding room for a colored welt or traditional Italian flag took away from the 999's and 749's tight details. Instead, we went back to the drawing board and pulled from our extensive list of custom materials and created this subtle, yet exhilarating design. In the seating panels our genuine "Leather" Carbon-Fiber keeps the sports bike theme while our new "Italian Asphalt" material in the sides ties in perfectly with the tank and bump pads.
A complete ground up design starting with our Fibertech basepan, when combined with the correct shaping, gives your body firm support for longer riding range without hot spots.
Since it's a complete new saddle, you can save your stock Ducati seat as a fancy collectable paperweight or mount it on your garage wall for posterity. This bike will be a collector's item, keep the original factory seat. The genuine leather cover with Carbon-Fiber looks really trick combined with the new Asphalt material in the sides. A very subtle design, but also very tight and "technical" looking (to use Ducati's words again). This tasteful design augments the sleek, artistic shape of the Corbin saddle design.
When the seat finally arrives, you're going to be rightfully excited to take it for a ride. If the sun is shining you're not far away from open road because installation is simple. No need for a trip to the local Duc dealer for this install. Just remove the stock seat and transfer the cowling to the Corbin saddle. Prop up the tank and install our tank bracket then bolt the seat/cowl combination to the tank bracket. Install a couple rubber bumpers, lower the assembly back into place and secure with the side bolts. Suitable for a weekend wrench, but you may want to have a buddy handy as an extra pair of hands can be helpful. Be careful, put a nice clean towel on the workbench, don't scratch up that fabulous cowling.
Corbin has been designing quality motorcycle saddles for well over three decades. Inside, there are many years and thousands of miles of development that combine to bring you what is commonly considered the world's finest
motorcycle seat.
UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY:
The design and manufacture of Corbin products is so unique that
Mike Corbin himself holds more than 60 United States Patents!
From the process itself to new innovations like the Corbin
Glovebox, you can count on highly functional and unique products
that work. Corbin products are manufactured under one or more of
the following US Patents: 6,848,156 B2; 6,729,516 B2;
D 489,540S; 6,655,740 B1; 6,422,648 B1; 5,544,937;

FIBERTECH™ BASEPAN:
A purpose-built hybrid material that provides a firm foundation
to support the carefully designed ergonomics of the Corbin
saddle. It provides a precision fit to every arc and contour of
the machine and rides on rubber bumpers to protect your paint.
We always design our basepans as flat as possible so bumps or
odd shapes don't telegraph through the foam to your body.

COMFORT CELL® FOAM:
The heart of the Corbin saddle! Our exclusive, purpose-built
foam material, called Comfort Cell, was created to
provide a firm, resilient ride that doesn't break down. This
means it will support you for long days on the road. Over time,
Comfort Cell will break in to provide a personalized fit to your
posture and even greater comfort!

ERGONOMIC SHAPING:
A major part of the design criteria of the Corbin saddle is its
ergonomic shape. This means the saddle's foam shape is designed
to emulate the curves of the human body. This provides more
square inches of body contact and helps eliminate hot spots.
This shaping also neutralizes the seating platform to help curb
sliding in the saddle, which reduces fatigue. In a nutshell:
more comfort for a longer ride!

how it works.
PATENTED MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY:
Always an innovator, Mike Corbin invented Integrated Molding
technology, which is now the process by which all Corbin
saddles are made. This process allows extremely tight
tolerances and creates a chemical bond between the foam and
base material.

more information.
GENUINE LEATHER:
We use leather in all panels of the seat that contact your body.
This provides a luxurious ride that breathes with your body.
Leather will also break in along with the foam shape to support
a personalized fit. Available in a wide range of textures and
styles to suit your taste.

Testimonials:
We bought a seat from you this year before a swing through the Smoky Mountains right here in our backyard. We included a couple runs on The Dragon—Highway 129, 318 turns in 11 miles. Fabulous trip. The new seat was a big plus, and we broke it in right! -Larry F.
