SDG Dirt Bike Seat Assembly Review
I don’t have to tell you how crucial seats are to your overall performance, comfort, and enjoyment as a dirt bike rider. And unfortunately, not all OEM dirt bike seats are the definition of comfort. Some are downright uncomfortable. And yet others don’t have the durability to withstand the rigorous riding and time we tend to put in on our bikes every year.
In that regard, sometimes a seat replacement is a luxury, while in other instances, it’s a necessity. Regardless of the reason, you’re sure to want to make a wise investment in your next seat purchase. And SDG would like for you to choose their Complete Seat Assembly as your next bike seat.
But the question remains if the SDG Seat Assembly is worth the investment, or should you seek out other aftermarket dirt bike seats? I’ve researched the SDG reasonably extensively for use on my project bikes, and I’d like to share what I uncovered about this dirt bike seat with you. Before you rush to a decision, you’ll want to give this review a read first.
The SDG Seat Assembly At-a-Glance
Step Seats Available Too! Available in three different styles of foam: Standard (OEM style), Tall, and Step
- Made of a lightweight, water-resistant, closed-cell foam created for the specific purpose of preventing foam breakdown.
- Simple and easy installation (bolts only)
- The seat base is made of nylon composite for high strength and durability
- The seat also has a two-stage gripper cover with double-stitched seams that are attached to the seat via sturdy brackets.

Benefits of Using the SDG Seat Assembly
In addition to SDG being one of the premier seat manufactures for all types of bikes and their close relationships with major manufacturers, here are some other benefits of the SDG Complete Seat:
- The seat fits seamlessly with the bike it was designed for. There are no odd angles or weird junctions to be found when installing the seat. Bolting it on is all it takes for the perfect fit.
- SDG offers a terrific selection of seat sizes to choose from: the Standard size is for those wishing to mimic their OEM seat without having to shell out a small fortune to do so; the Tall size is anywhere from ¾” to 1” taller than the standard seat, and the Step size is designed specifically for those riders looking to change their riding position.
- The seat itself is made of a combination of durable materials – materials that are usually associated with higher-end products. The foam for the seat was specifically designed to not lose its shape over time while also protecting the interior with a two-stage grip cover.
- From the model bikes I’ve seen that have the SDG complete seat installed (in Standard, Tall, and Step), they have all been strikingly appealing. This dirt bike seat looks like it came with the bike instead of an aftermarket addition.
What Customers Are Saying About the SDG Seat Assembly
Based on the reviews I’ve read online from countless verified buyers, most feel the SDG is an incredible value with quality craftsmanship, top-not durability, and great design. Many customers seem to be very fond of the way the seat fits on their bike.
One customer stated that the SDG offered the “perfect fit” and gripped very well. He said it made him realize just how bad off his original seat was.
Another customer exclaimed that the SDG was better than his OEM dirt bike seat.
And finally, another customer commented that he purchased the Tall style and did not originally like the way it looked on his bike. However, after riding for only a few short minutes, he quickly realized the difference the seat made (for the better) in his riding. At that point, he was sold.
