2008-09 KTM
Enduro Engineering seat choices
2008-09 KTM factory seats are softer than in previous
years, but still have a narrow, sharp-edge profile and
only have about 3 inches of foam (at best) in the
sitting area. In our opinion, the stock seat foam starts
out hard and then quickly breaks down, allowing heavier
riders to sink to the seat base. EE replacement
seats have much better foam durability and a better seat
shape with rounded edges instead of sharp angles for
greatly increased rider comfort.
75-108 - same height as stock, foam density
comparable to stock, but breaks in nicely and is a good
comfortable seat for riders over 200 pounds. (Bob and
Doug both use this seat on their 300 XC-W's and really
like it.)
75-308 - same height as stock, softer foam than
stock. This seat is a great choice for lighter riders.
(I tried this seat, but at 230 lbs I sink into this seat
and hit the base - Bob)
75-208 - about 1.25 inches taller than stock,
softer foam than stock. This seat is a good choice for
taller riders or riders that sit down most of the day.
It is very comfortable and makes the transition from
sitting to standing much easier on old knees. (I
use this seat on my 08 450 EXC for dual-sport and "easy"
trail riding. It is very comfortable, but with a
30-inch inseam, I can't touch the ground in the gnarly
stuff - Bob)
75-408 - about 1.25 inches taller than stock,
firmer foam than stock. This seat is recommended for
tall guys with bad knees <grin> who don't sit down much.
2004-07 KTM Enduro Engineering seat choices
2004-07 KTM factory seats are as hard as the proverbial
2 x 4 and suffer from a poorly designed seat base.
Enduro Engineering's custom seat base features air
channels to allow sufficient airflow to the airbox, yet
provides a much more comfortable platform for the rider
with an extra 2+ inches of foam in a stock height seat.
EE replacement seats have much better foam durability
and a better seat shape with rounded edges instead of
sharp angles for greatly increased rider comfort.
Note: If you have the MXC/XC-W
(525) tank shown in the picture above, there will be gap
between the seat and tank. EE does not make a seat
specifically for this tank.
75-100 - same height as stock, softer foam than
stock. This is a good comfortable seat for riders
wanting a firm but comfortable seat.
75-300 - same height as stock, much softer foam
than stock. This super-soft seat is our best selling
seat for 2004-07 KTMs and is very popular with sit down
riders. Riders over 240 lbs will probably prefer
the slightly firmer 75-100.
75-200 - about 1.25 inches taller than stock,
softer foam than stock. This seat is a good choice for
taller riders or riders that sit down most of the day.
It is very comfortable and makes the transition from
sitting to standing much easier on old knees.
75-400 - about 1.25 inches taller than stock,
firmer foam than stock. This seat is recommended for
tall guys with bad knees <grin> who don't sit down much.
