Comfort and Style: Zero SR/R
Always an innovator, Mike Corbin owns more than
60 United States patents and is never slow in coming
forward with something new for the newest of the
new.
However, unless we have overlooked something, this
is the first aftermarket part or accessory we have had
the chance to feature in AMD Magazine for the allelectric,
made in California ZERO!
This Dual saddle for the ZERO SR/R boasts the same
comfort and style that has made the Corbin name
famous worldwide. The upfront the seating area has
been ergonomically designed to distribute body
weight over a greater area. This provides longerrange
support and eliminates hot spots.
The neutralized and optimized seating platform
helps to hold the body in place and curbs sliding in
the saddle. This also helps to relieve rider fatigue by
taking pressure off the wrists and knees.
The passenger section is shaped to work with the
handrails and luggage rack while maximizing the
passenger's seating area. Concave shaping of the
front seating area "gives an unprecedented amount
of body support. Notice how it curves up at the back
to provide support to your lower back. Towards the
front of the bucket, we design the saddle narrower
to allow for ground reach. Smaller riders may prefer
to slide forward and out of the bucket at stop signs
for best ground reach.
"For those chilly morning rides, we offer an option
of heated seating. We incorporate a heater unit
under the leather seating and a switch on the left
side of the saddle (so you can turn it on without
removing your hand from the throttle). Just flip the
switch and the seat will warm up and maintain
temperature automatically." Corbin's heater comes
completely pre-installed in the saddle and you need
only integrate the included pigtail.
Corbin's saddle mounts like stock and includes a
latch pin on the saddle, so it's ready for immediate
installation.
The Fibertech basepan is a purpose-built, hybrid
material that provides a firm foundation to support
the carefully designed ergonomics of the Corbin
saddle. "It provides a precision fit to every arc and
contour of the machine and rides on rubber bumpers
to protect the paint. We always design our basepans
as flat as possible, so bumps or odd shapes don't
telegraph through the foam to your body.
"Our exclusive, proprietary Comfort Cell Foam is at
the heart of the Corbin saddle - it was created to
provide a firm, resilient ride that doesn't break
down."
