[Motorcycle Trip for Two] Fluffier than a sofa! A super thick tandem seat reminiscent of the '90s

Long tours a few times a year. If possible, I want to enjoy not just the destination but the time spent riding itself. Especially with “tandem,” where two people spend time together, it’s even more special. If I could sit more comfortably while keeping my beloved bike's style as is. Proto has developed a "fluffy" seat that seems to respond to that desire with passion!

The concept is "Enjoyable outings for two 'specifications'."

The "PLOT special order G-craft ASIA Old Style Sofa Seat Tandem Seat Set," released by Proto, is a front and rear seat set made for the Rebel 1100. This is the second installment that expands the same concept to the Rebel 1100, following the popular release for the Rebel 250.

What stands out is the seat that is thicker than the normal. It aims to enhance cushioning and achieve a ride that is "fluffy like a sofa," as expressed by Proto. On days when you want to ride a bit farther on the Rebel 1100, this thickness seems to be key.

It's not just about thickness! There's also a little ingenuity in the rider's seating position.

However, when the seat is thickened, the concern becomes foot placement. Therefore, for the Rebel 1100, the design has been modified so that the rider sits slightly toward the tank and a little forward. This is aimed at improving foot placement and reconsidering the position with smaller riders in mind. The key point is that while increasing thickness for comfort, the seating position has also been thoughtfully considered.

When it comes to the seat, people tend to focus on the softness of the cushion, but the position when actually straddling the bike is quite important. To avoid the situation of having to stand on tiptoe every time at a traffic light, you'll want to confirm this difference at least once.

Since we're going out together, the tandem side also has the same design.

Moreover, this time's concept is "for a fun outing with two people!" True to that phrase, it's designed not only for the rider but also includes the tandem seat as a set. Since the person riding behind will also have the same seat design, there is a sense of cohesion when viewed as one bike.

Since we're going out together, it feels a bit lonely if only the rider is comfortable. The fact that both the front and rear can be swapped out together will surely be a point of interest for Rebel 1100 owners who want to go touring in tandem. Of course, a tandem belt is also included.

With a 90's aesthetic, it's gorgeous even from the back.

Another appealing point is the design. The seat features classic-style rivets, and the same design is applied to the tandem side. The motif is inspired by the first-generation Rebel with a 90's flavor. It combines a nostalgic design with the current Rebel 1100.

The seat not only changes the sitting comfort but also transforms the impression when viewing the bike. After parking the bike at the touring destination, it seems like you can enjoy some time admiring it from a distance. Sitting together on the fluffy seat, where should we ride next? The tandem touring on the Rebel 1100 is about to become one more joy.
