Cover patterns have been updated to provide a sleeker and more modern look.
Our first thought when we picked up the Slingshot was that the guys (and gals) that make racing seats would have this market pretty much wrapped up before we'd have a chance to launch. Turns out standard automotive seats are a bit too much for the Slingshot's passenger cabin. Good news for us!
What we did was design new platforms that work on your existing Polaris seat frame and slider. Instead of building up complete racing style seats with shoulder bolsters, we opted more for a Sport Bucket style that gives you thigh and side bolsters, but keeps your shoulders free. Not only does this look more appropriate inside the Slingshot, but it maximizes cabin space and doesn't make you feel cramped.
Naturally we used our expertise in seat design to provide seat and back panels that cradle your body ergonomically. This gives you excellent, long range support that eliminates hot spots. We also made the thigh bolsters with a softer angle so they add more seating area for more square inches of body contact. This helps hold your body in place yet not "confined" while giving additional comfort value.
If your area constabulary requires the use of a helmet (like they do here) you're going to love this... We've taken the big bumps out of the headrests! The stock shape is fine if you're crusing along with your hair in the air, but the moment you don a helmet they become a serious aggravation. So we've provided just enough extra room to allow for the helmet but still provide the needed support and whiplash protection. This equates to approximately 1.5 inches if you're wondering.
We've also angled the seat base to the rear a bit. This helps to keep you firmly planted in the seat while it also supports under your legs for added weight distribution. Seating length of twenty inches gives generous support.
On the inside we build these up with our proprietary Comfort Cell foam. This closed cell foam provides a firm ride that supports your body indefinitely and doesn't lose resilience over time. After a break in period, Comfort Cell will begin to take on the rider's shape for give personalized support.
On top we use genuine leather seating with a wide range of color and texture options. Leather will breathe with your body and break in along with the foam for a personalized fit. Above we show our seats decked out as follows:
Driver:
Black natural grain leather seating, Red Carbon-Fiber trim, Asphalt side panels and Black Diamond stitching.
Passenger:
Black natural grain leather seating, Burgundy Ostrich trim, Asphalt side panels and no stitch pattern.
Corbin's Sport Bucket seats also have the option of electric heaters built in. These seats feature a heating unit in both the seat base AND the seat back. You'll be amazed at how well this works to make your whole body feel warmer on those chilly morning rides. Our heater units are full self contained within the seat and come pre-installed. We include a wiring pigtail that integrates with your Slingshot's harness and runs up to the dash to plug into our included heater switches. Installation requires only standard hand tools and a little patience.
Speaking of heat, have you noticed how hot the seats get if you leave your Slingshot sitting in the sun for a little while? We've got that licked by including a fabric sunshade with every seat. Build specifically for our seats, this stretchy material pulls over the seat to give some shade while you're out and about. When you get back, just pull the cover off and stow it away in the handy storage pouch built into the back of the headrests.
Our Fibertech base material and patented manufacturing process allow a perfect fit to the Polaris seat frame. This rigid baseplate provides the seat with a firm foundation to support the carefully designed ergonomics of the foam. The seat components mount easily with included hardware.
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!
For the complete story, just click the
button.
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.

That Corbin Canyon Dual Sport seat is everything your website said it would be and more! The only reason I stopped after five hours was due to darkness and 45-degree air temperature. Thank you so much for this incredible product! The workmanship was flawless! -James G.
