What composition for Stunt and Wheeling?

All 50cc riders know it: hitting the balance point on a Derbi or Rieju with a slippery stock seat means an accident (or a botched "bavette") is guaranteed. To keep your body locked in place, nothing beats a custom seat.

The Ultimate Weapon: Full Grip and Ribs

The Grip material acts like a soft tire. It grips your clothing. When wheeling, you can't afford to slide backward when the engine revs up. At Bike Sellier, we recommend the "Grip" configurator coupled with Ribs (the horizontal stitched strips).

These ribs act as stoppers for the rear end. This is the number one configuration requested by stunters.

Smooth and Alcantara: For what use?

Smooth (Synthetic Leather): Perfect for Supermoto where the rider needs to quickly change angles and "hip-out" without their pants sticking to the seat.

Alcantara: The luxury choice. It offers a "soft" intermediate grip and an incomparable look for showrooms and street races, but requires more care.
