The Blackadder Design Philosophy
Named after the classic British comedy series known for its sharp wit and timeless appeal, the Motone Blackadder seat embodies sophisticated British style. The low-profile design paired with tobacco brown leather creates a vintage café racer aesthetic that perfectly complements Triumph’s modern classic lineup.
The diamond stitch pattern isn’t just decorative – it serves multiple functional purposes:
- Enhanced Grip: Quilted texture prevents rider sliding during acceleration and braking
- Visual Depth: Creates shadow lines that add dimension and character to the seat profile
- Structural Reinforcement: Stitching pattern distributes tension evenly across leather, preventing premature wear
- Timeless Style: Classic automotive upholstery technique connects to vintage racing heritage
Comfort Engineering for Daily Riding
While the Blackadder’s slim profile might suggest a compromise in comfort, Motone’s expert foam engineering ensures this seat performs exceptionally well for daily commuting and weekend rides:
- Progressive Foam Density: Firmer base layer prevents bottoming out, softer top layer conforms to rider
- Optimized Contact Area: Despite slim appearance, seat provides adequate surface area to distribute weight
- Break-In Period: Leather and foam require approximately 500km to fully conform to your unique shape
- Reduced Seat Height: Lower profile improves ground reach without sacrificing cornering clearance
Tobacco Brown Leather – Premium Aesthetics
The rich tobacco brown leather finish sets this seat apart from standard black options, offering:
- Warm Vintage Character: Brown leather evokes classic motorcycle heritage and pairs beautifully with chrome and polished aluminum
- Natural Patina Development: Leather darkens and develops unique character marks that reflect your riding journey
- UV Treatment: Special tanning process prevents rapid fading while maintaining natural leather appearance
- Flexible Yet Durable: Premium leather remains supple in cold weather while resisting cracking in heat
British Craftsmanship Quality
Every Motone Blackadder seat is handcrafted in the UK by experienced upholstery specialists:
- Leather hides individually selected for consistent grain and color matching

Maintenance & Care
To preserve your tobacco brown leather seat’s appearance:
