Why suede?
Why suede?
Suede is an excellent material for many reasons and is used extensively by Rally competition riders worldwide. It’s natural breathing ability along with the leather like feel makes this material a great choice for comfort. Its predictable manners allows the rider to be able to control the motorcycle better while standing on the pegs, unlike synthetics which can be unpredictable and allow the rider to slide around too much when trying to control the bike with your legs.
How does suede hold up to the elements?
How does suede hold up to the elements?
Suede is a natural material therefore, it will absorb moisture and may be a concern for those who ride in the rain. Suede also doesn’t have any natural UV protection which can be a concern for those who live in hot dry climate desert areas which can cause premature fading, we recommend vinyl over suede if this is a concern. Having said that, our suede seats are lined with waterproof membrane to prevent water penetration into the foam. Most suede purchasing customers are more concerned with the performance and comfort of the material. With proper care, a suede seat can last you many years and we have seen many fine examples of well maintained suede seats from our customers worldwide.
