"AktivKomfort" ERGO Seats
The new generation of ERGO Seats: Well-thought-
through at every step of the design, with many innova-
tive solutions. The original seat suffers from an unfavour-
able form which places undue strain on the tailbone, and
the angle of the seat leads many riders to adopt a bad
pelvic position. To counter this we use a foam core with
completely new contours and a unique fabric, devel-
oped with great care with no expense spared.
The facts:
• Distinctly shaped (concaved) seating area.
• Relief of pressure on the tail bone and optimised weight distri-
bution across the whole seat.
• Improved pillion contours for improved forward hold.
• Progressive double-layer construction with soft upper layer and
rigid core for even distribution of forces.
• Uncompromising durability for long distance use.
• Non-slip, anti-perspiration material combined with "Alcantara"
suede seams.
• Strong "RoburC" seat pan of our own construction.
• Classy recessed "cut" seams.
• Seams glued and heat-sealed on modern PFAFF hot-air weld-
ing machines for 100% impermeability.
• Design by Nicolas Petit (Paris).
• Made in Germany.
Adjustable height for the rider!
In order for you to achieve the perfect seating position,
we also offer a "low" seat height alongside the "regu-
lar" series version. The low version ensures the rider is
positioned securely and gives you the feeling you are
actually sitting in rather than on the machine.
Relaxation for the passenger!
An ergonomic form accurately adjusted to suit the seat-
ing position. As a passenger, this means that you too
can enjoy long-lasting comfort while touring. We have
also managed to substantially improve the support
(particular during braking), resulting in significantly more
relaxed and enjoyable touring. The progressive foam
core and the relief of tailbone strains put an end to any
complaints.

ADAC Motorwelt
"Exemplary custom solutions from Erich Wunderlich. In Sinzig on the
Rhein, BMW riders can test ride several seats and choose a suitable
one. The difference of the seat foams are not just in height but also
in their shape..."
Die Welt - "How to maintain your posture"
The largest selection available to BMW riders comes from specialist
Wunderlich. He develops high, low, hard and soft seats, lower foot-
rests and variable handle bar risers.

Perfect relief of tailbone pressure and secure positioning for the passenger,
even in a forwards direction, and even better back support for the rider.
Mega-Test
Over the past years, our ergonomic seats have proven their value on roads
all over the world::
• Over 150,000km as part of our tours and tests
• 40,000km all over the US and Mexico
• 13,000km from Norway to Thailand
• 6,000km through Chile
• 6,000km in Scandinavia up to the North Cape
... and many thousand kilometres travelled by our partners, friends and
customers..
Summary of rider opinion:
Long distance travelling is only possible
when using ERGO-seats. The original failed already when just touring.
TOURENFAHRER
"...one of the most sensible of Wunderlich ideas ...the Ergo Seats,
which have tighter padding than the original and less slippery cov-
ers. The pronounced shape provides better support, especially at
the back..."
