2020 Heated Comfort Seat

[Snowhawg]

Question about the heated comfort seat for the 2020 RT...do you sit further back in it than the stock heated seat? (Does it give more leg room?)

I had the comfort seat on my 2015 RT and it definitely sat 2" further back, giving more leg stretch. I just want to make sure that's true of the 2020 seat. Also, does it require a different driver backrest than the stock heated seat backrest.

From what has been published, The 2020 stock seat is already is set back for both the rider(2") and passenger(1"). No comparison to the 2014-2019 seats. The 2020 comfort seat has a different stitching pattern and has more padding(gel???). It's almost a $1,000 option. Don't know what the aftermarket will come up with.
I'm considering that option also.

We have the Comfort seat and it is the same as the stock seat from a sitting position. Just more comfortable with the memory foam!

If that’s the case I would save the $1,000 and go to a custom seat that is made for your butt. Laam Custom Seats would be my choice and would cost a whole lot less than $1,000.

Ok, so I went to the Build section for the RT and the stock seat on a limited comes with this:

So for $210 more you get individualized heat for driver and passenger. That seemed worth it to me. in addition to the Extra padding in all the right places in addition to a memory foam layer gives us every reason to call it our Comfort Seat.

When it says "all the features of our much-loved comfort seat with integrated heating" The older comfort seats sat back 2" from the stock seats, so does that mean this one does too? By the way, the stock heated seats on the 2020 RT Ltd has heat in both the driver seat and passenger seat with separate controls.

As an FYI, Here's what I received from BRP re: the 2020 Comfort Seat.

Good Afternoon

Thank you for reaching out to BRP! I'd be more than happy to help you.

In response to your email, the comfort seat has the same demensions as the stock seat, however it has additional padding in some spots. It will not sit the driver further back.

Once again thank you for contacting BRP.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to click reply on this email or contact us at 1-888-272-9222. My Colleagues and I are always happy to help.

Yours in adventure,

Looks like the mystery is solved. This go around...same dimensions as the OEM, but more padding in all the right places, per BRP.

I am a fan of the BRP comfort seats. I have put four of them on four different Spyders. They have always worked well for ME.

My most recent (2019 F3L). Non-heated...Cannonball Cross Country.

Cannot speak specifically to 2020, but there are at least 28 out there with potential beta testers.
