Plush Sofa Seat Relieves Buttock Pain on the REBEL250

Proto Corporation (Headquarters: 5 Sakurashima, Igayamacho, Kariya City, Aichi Prefecture; Representative: Yoshimitsu Kondo; hereinafter referred to as "Proto"), a company engaged in the planning, import, and sales of automotive, motorcycle, and outdoor products, has launched the PLOT Custom G-craft ASIA Old Style Sofa Seat Tandem Seat Set designed for the REBEL250.

The Honda REBEL250 is a modern standard motorcycle developed to be easy to ride for riders from beginners to veterans. However, to prioritize ground reachability, the stock seat is set quite thin, leading to noticeable "buttock pain" after riding for a certain distance. Even enjoyable outings or dates with a girlfriend or wife can be ruined by discomfort caused by seat pain.

Thicker, Sofa-Like Comfort

With 3–4 cm more thickness than the stock seat, this model offers exceptional cushioning.

To address this issue, Proto commissioned G-craft ASIA to develop this custom seat.

Riding comfort is greatly enhanced thanks to increased thickness, creating a plush, sofa-like feel that alleviates buttock pain.

Luxurious Design

Features a classic, luxurious design with traditional rivets. The tandem seat section matches the style and includes a seat belt.

Beyond comfort, the design was carefully crafted to complement the REBEL250's stylish appearance. With the concept of "Let’s enjoy outings together! (Spec)," the design pays homage to the 1990s-style first-generation REBEL, finished with a luxurious touch. Development for the REBEL1100 is also planned.
