Real Riders, Real Results: What the Yamaha Tenere 700 Community Says About Champ Customs Seats
Share
If you're a Yamaha Tenere 700 rider, you already know the stock seat is one of the first things that needs to go. Long rides become punishment. Your stance suffers. And no amount of padded shorts fixes a fundamentally bad seat.
The question is: which aftermarket seat is actually worth it?
We let the T7 community answer that.
What Real Riders Are Saying
Chris Field — Facebook, Yamaha Tenere 700 2025+ Models Only Group
"For anyone considering an aftermarket seat, @champcustoms has been night and day difference in comfort for me. They have also been a great company to work with and are very responsive. I paid full price for the seats and just wanted to share the information with the community."
Chris shared side-by-side photos comparing his stance on the OEM seat vs the Champ Customs Trail Base — same rider, same bike, dramatically different foot position and confidence at a standstill.
r/Tenere700 — Reddit
"Gel front and rear. 1000k on the seat. This seat is 1" lower than stock. Exceptional quality. Overall, I really like the seat."
1,000 kilometers in and still going strong. That's the durability test that matters.
CoyoteNo7873 — r/Tenere700
"I've had Champ Customs seats on both my old T7 and my new T7, and my experience has been excellent. Great product, reliable company, and zero issues. I've personally used these seats on two T7s. That's firsthand experience — not something I heard from someone else."
Two bikes. Zero issues. That says everything.
