Dual Touring Saddle — Hero Xpulse 200

Designed for Two-Up Long-Distance Touring

The Saddle Crafts Dual Touring Saddle is engineered specifically for the Hero Xpulse 200 series (compatible across original 2V and later generation models sharing the stock frame geometry). Designed to eliminate the pressure points and passenger fatigue common to factory dual-sport benches, this saddle introduces a structured rider bucket paired with a noticeably broadened and cushioned pillion deck.

Why It’s Different

• Dual-Zone Touring Ergonomics: Replaces the narrow factory bench with a cradled rider scoop that distributes weight evenly across the hips, while providing a dedicated, wider seating platform for the pillion.

• Expanded Pillion Platform: The broadened rear section prevents passenger forward-sliding and eliminates thigh-edge discomfort during extended highway and trail rides.

• Dedicated Fiberglass Base Plate: Built on a rigid, lightweight composite fiberglass seat pan designed for precise latch alignment without flexing under passenger weight.

• Progressive High-Density Foam: Layered polyurethane foam formulated to absorb road chatter and trail impacts without sagging or bottoming out over multi-hour rides.

Engineered For

• Solo & Two-Up Touring: Balanced ergonomic support engineered equally for the rider and the pillion.

• Extended Highway & Backroad Stages: Multi-hour saddle time where tailbone pressure relief and posture stability are critical.

• Direct OEM Fitment: Engineered to bolt directly to the stock chassis across the Hero Xpulse 200 lineup.

Crafted With

• Marine-Grade Technical Vegan Leatherette: UV-stable, abrasion-resistant, animal-free upholstery designed for intense sun, rain, and off-road dust.

• High-Density Polyurethane Foam: Progressive core providing sustained posture support and vibration absorption.

• Lightweight Fiberglass Seat Base Plate: High-strength composite pan engineered for long-term structural integrity.

• Heavy-Duty Seam Detailing: Industrial-grade thread and precision tailoring built to withstand rigorous riding conditions.

Water Resistance & Care Note

• Plain vs. Stitched Patterns: While Plain upholstery surfaces are water-resistant, seats ordered with stitched surface patterns (Stripes, Double Stitch Stripes, Diamond, Double Stitch Diamond)—or customized with embroidered logos—can absorb water through the needle perforations during rain or washing and take time to dry depending on weather conditions.

• Mandatory Protection: Always fit the complimentary Waterproof Seat Cover included with your order when riding in the rain, parking outdoors in wet conditions, or washing your motorcycle.
