Anyone compare the seat that comes with the XDiavel S (supposed to be different than standard XDiavel) and the optional Super Comfort Seat (plus) from Ducati? It comes in the touring pack with windscreen and tank bag and was wondering how it was different than the S seat? I see that it is 22mm thicker than standard seat. I guess second question is how is the S seat differnent than the standard seat? It says with different materials but what does that mean?
Super Comfort Seat (plus)

Please let us know where to get this seat it looks awesome. The stock seat on the XDiavel S is ok but I can feel the back of the seat putting pressure on the lowest part of my backno i havent seen it anywhere for sale . but i would just send the oem one to laamseats and have them make one identical for lot less and way more comfortable.

Is this what you're looking for. If not very similar.

The link is correct you try and order one. Still no stock!

That looks a lot like it. I will call them tomorrow and see if or when they will have them in stock and also ask how they are different from stock seats.

Like you said out of stock. I bought the Ducati Super Comfort Seat and for $330 I was a little pissed it does not include heat shield. Fortunately I work in aviation and have tons of aluminum tape to make my own shield. I will let you know how comfortable or uncomfortable it is. With stock seat, it's not bad except minor pressure on tail bone and numbness in butt after 45 minutes. I am 5'10, 205lbs, so I should know quickly after 45 - 60 min ride if there is an improvement.

I find the stock one ok for myself I can go 2hour-ish I got the super comfort IT is way way more comfy than stock. Still not perfect but getting there.
I like how its wider and a little thicker Plus the concave part of the seat isnt as pronounced.. i found that to be a little too much on the stock

Picked up the super comfort at lunch. Rode home the long way. About 45 minutes. Mix of freeway and city streets. Surprisingly the 20ish mm of extra foam actually improve the ride of the harsh suspension. I like the wider forward portion under your thighs as well, similar to Corbin and Sargent seats. That being said however it was only slightly more comfortable than the stock seat.
I know.... It will break in and I need to ride it more but I don't think it's has earned is name as Super Comfort seat. Maybe just comfort seat. Also, I have an S model and my stock seat is very attractive with mix of suede and leather. This seat for $300 looks like a pain stock seat not an upgrade.
I am a little bias because I have had Corbin and Sargent on my previous sport bikes and they were more comfortable than this. Unfortunately those two companies do not offer an XDiavel seat, yet. Only custom service.
I will ride the Super Comfort some more and see if it improves.

Update: after a few days swapped original seat and it felt pretty much the same as Super Comfort. The Super Comfort seat has a wider seat pan and less pressure on the rear which you can feel. The foam is supposed to be thicker but only slighlty. Bottom line, was it more comfortable, yes but only slightly. Not worth $300+ Returned it and the got my money back, no questions asked. Good Dealership!
Also my friend at the Dealer gave me one of the Ducati accessory catalog and I found there 5 seats available. Low, Stock, Super Comfort, Raised Rider (20mm), and Super Raised Rider (50mm). I think there is a misconception that Super Comfort is the same as 20mm Raised Rider.

The stock seat is very light weight an flexible and in fact must flex to mount. Corbin makes their seat pans rigid. They are heavier but much more comfortable in my opinion, especially for a big guy like yourself. I'm sure there are others maybe closer to you that use a similar method.

same here, I just peeled off the heat shield material from my original seat and moved it over to the comfort seat. What's interesting to me is there IS a heat shield included on the raised optional seat you can order...

Guys...
This seat thing seems to be a bit confusing as to what exactly you will get.
See attached photos.
One is from a dealer's website where a photo of the seat is shown.
Another photo is from another dealer's website where they actually show two completely different seats in the same photo but quote the same part number.
Another photo is of my bike showing this premium seat on the bike.
Anybody considering getting this seat should probably make sure they hands-on see the seat in person to be 100% sure of what they are getting, or if it's ordered sight unseen you should confirm with the vendor which seat you will be getting. Both seats look good but you might have a preference of one over the other.

So is the tall rider seat also considered a comfort seat?
Is it in between standard and supercomfort?
