Top Sellerie Seats and Covers: Complete Brand Guide
Who Is Top Sellerie?
Top Sellerie is a French company specialising in motorcycle seat covers and comfort modifications. Founded in Normandy and now shipping across Europe, they are one of the most respected names in the motorcycle seating aftermarket — preferred by touring riders, adventure riders, and anyone who spends long hours in the saddle. Their products are made to order using quality foam, gel, and leather materials, and they cover an exceptionally wide range of motorcycle models.
The Top Sellerie Product Range
Standard Replacement Covers
Top Sellerie's core product is a direct replacement seat cover in their standard vinyl — the same shape and dimensions as the OEM cover but with better quality materials and construction. These are typically more durable than standard OEM covers and resist UV fading and weather better. They're made to order for your specific bike model, so fitment is precise.
Comfort Seat Covers
The comfort range adds a layer of additional foam or gel padding beneath a new cover — raising the seat height slightly (typically 10–20 mm) and softening the feel significantly. These are the most popular products for touring and adventure riders who cover significant daily distances. The additional padding reduces pressure points and fatigue on rides over two or three hours. If your standard seat is causing lower back pain or numbness on long rides, a Top Sellerie comfort cover is typically the first recommendation from experienced touring riders.
Lowering Covers
The opposite of comfort — Top Sellerie also produce lowering covers that remove foam from the seat to reduce height by 20–40 mm. These are popular among shorter riders who struggle with reach to the ground, or for city riding where you want more confidence at low speeds. Note that while a lowering cover improves rider reach, it removes the cushioning benefit — not ideal for long distances.
Custom and Dual-Texture Covers
Top Sellerie offer custom colour and texture combinations — including two-tone vinyl, perforated sections for ventilation, and suede-effect grip panels on the seat surface. The grip panel option is popular with track and sport riders who want to feel their hip position through the seat without fighting against smooth vinyl.
Who Should Buy Top Sellerie?
Top Sellerie is the ideal choice for:
- Touring riders covering 300+ km days who want to eliminate seat fatigue
- Adventure riders on long-distance routes where seat comfort is a limiting factor
- Riders whose OEM seat cover has cracked, faded, or worn through
- Shorter riders looking to reduce seat height without modifying the bike's geometry
Installation
Top Sellerie covers replace the OEM cover in situ — they are not slip-on solutions. You'll need to remove the seat base from the bike (usually 2 bolts), remove the old cover (typically stapled or glued), fit the new foam/gel layer if upgrading to comfort spec, and then stretch and staple the new cover in place. This requires a staple gun and about 30–60 minutes. Many riders have it done at a local upholstery shop if they prefer not to DIY.
