1. Touratech comfort seat for the BMW F 900 GS

   Posted on 12:00pm Wednesday 4th Mar 2026

   With advanced ergonomic features, the Touratech comfort seat takes riding pleasure on the BMW F 900 GS to a whole new level – both in off-road use and on long-distance rides. Tough terrain and long-distance travel – these two extremes define the exceptionally broad range of applications for the BMW F 900 GS. The ergonomic requirements for this agile adventure bike are accordingly complex, particularly for the seat as the central interface between rider and vehicle. With its new one-piece comfort seat, Touratech offers a well-thought-out alternative to the standard seat. The use of state-of-the-art materials, backed by decades of experience in seat construction, makes this highly functional product the first choice for touring motorcyclists as well as for adventure riders.   Multi-layer foam core As with all Touratech comfort seats, a multi-layer core made of particularly high-quality foams is used. Depending on the seat height, individually matched foam formulations are used to achieve a precisely defined ratio of support and cushioning. The ergonomically shaped seat surface with integrated relief zone in the coccyx area noticeably reduces pressure points. A precisely designed seat angle supports a natural, upright sitting position and helps reduce fatigue on long journeys. Sophisticated geometry The seat's geometry is designed to achieve a short crotch length despite the thick padding. This ensures that even smaller riders can reach the ground. The one-piece construction also allows unrestricted freedom of movement when riding off-road, especially when shifting weight frequently while standing or sitting.   Functional Fresh Touch seat cover The patented Fresh Touch material is used as the cover fabric. It is characterized by demonstrably lower surface heating when exposed to sunlight and remains up to ten degrees Celsius cooler than conventional seat covers. The new material structure is slip-resistant, waterproof, easy to care for, and designed for use in changing weather conditions. In terms of appearance, the comfort seat is based on the striking Trophy design of the BMW F 900 GS. The red, white, and blue colour scheme blends seamlessly into the vehicle design. Three seat heights for individual ergonomics The Touratech comfort seat is available in three heights: low (approx. 54 cm), standard (approx. 56 cm ≙ series) and high (approx. 58 cm); each measured vertically from the footrest to the lowest point of the seat. It is delivered completely ready for installation and can be mounted without any adjustments to the vehicle. It is handmade in Germany. Additional colour options are in development.   Further information in the Touratech webshop

2. Touratech luggage rack instead pillion seat for the BMW R 1300 GS

   Posted on 12:00pm Monday 2nd Mar 2026

   With the new luggage rack replacing the passenger seat, Touratech is expanding its range of accessories for the BMW R 1300 GS with a solution for solo riders that is both functional and stylish.

   Centralising the masses – that's the key when it comes to agile yet stable handling on a motorcycle. Admittedly, a fully loaded adventure bike is not exactly the ideal example of this rule. But even motorcycle travellers can do a lot to achieve a favourable centre of gravity. Especially when travelling solo. For example, by using the Touratech luggage rack instead of a pillion seat for the BMW R 1300 GS.

   Centrally located storage for heavy luggage
   Developed on the basis of extensive practical testing, this component replaces the original pillion seat and creates an optimally positioned, central mount for luggage. Thanks to its precise design, the seat area is covered without any gaps. This gives the rear of the R 1300 GS a tidy appearance and a sporty, striking adventure look. At the same time, the luggage area's proximity to the rider contributes to a favourable centre of gravity, thereby supporting stable, neutral handling – especially when heavily loaded on long journeys or off-road.

   Secure installation by using the standard seat lock

   
   The structure consists of a robust plastic base plate and a four-millimetre-thick aluminium luggage plate mounted on top of it with an elegant black anodised surface. Numerous lashing points allow flexible and secure attachment of bags, rack packs or soft luggage of various sizes. Installation is just as easy as with the original BMW pillion seat and uses the standard seat lock, making the luggage plate lockable and thus reliably secured against theft.
   The Touratech luggage rack is specifically designed for riders who mainly use their BMW R 1300 GS solo and value a highly durable, sophisticated and seamlessly integrated transport concept.
   
   Technical specifications:

   The base plate is made of fibre-reinforced, black-coated plastic with an embossed Touratech logo, while the luggage plate is made of 4 mm thick, black anodised aluminium. The overall dimensions are 35.5 × 31 cm, with a loading area measuring 29 × 31 cm. It weighs around 1.2 kilograms. Item no.: 035-5460

    

3. Touratech tool box for pannier rack on the BMW F 900 GS

   Posted on 12:00pm Monday 9th Feb 2026

   With the new toolbox, Touratech is expanding its range of accessories for the BMW F 900 GS with a compact storage solution that is space-saving and easily accessible when attached to the left pannier rack.

   You can never have too much storage space on a motorcycle. And if you look closely, there is actually quite a lot of it. Even in places where you wouldn't expect to find it: between the carrier and the vehicle, for example. And that's exactly where the Touratech developers have placed this practical toolbox – in the unused space on the left-hand side of the vehicle. It fits perfectly on the F 900 GS and the ZEGA carrier.

   The 4.2-litre storage capacity is perfect for tools, a repair kit, first aid equipment or other items that you want to have quickly to hand when needed.

   The splashing water-protected design combines a robust plastic housing with high-strength stainless steel mounting elements. It is attached to the Touratech pannier rack using special clamps. The box is compatible with ZEGA Evo panniers and can be used with or without aluminium panniers mounted. Regardless of the configuration, the fully removable, lockable lid, which is secured against loss, always allows convenient access to the contents.

   • Material: plastic, stainless steel
   • Specially designed for ZEGA Evo case systems
   • Robust and splash-proof
   • Dimensions: 33 x 9.5 x 19.5 cm

4. Touratech TMACS – the innovative mounting system for soft luggage

   Posted on 12:00pm Thursday 22nd Jan 2026

   With the TMACS quick-release mounting system, Touratech opens up completely new possibilities for attaching soft luggage to motorcycles. TMACS marks a real technological leap forward and meets the highest standards of ease of use, safety and off-road capability. Initially, selected tank bag models will be equipped with the innovative system. The acronym TMACS stands for Touratech Magnetic Accessory Connection System – which already clearly outlines how it works. The central component of TMACS is a two-part mounting module. Its precisely manufactured base element can be screwed onto the original threads of the tank cap in just a few simple steps. Only longer screws are required for this; no further modifications to the motorcycle are necessary. The counterpart is permanently integrated into the base plate of the tank bag and consists of a precisely manufactured, high-strength component made of fibre-reinforced plastic. Intuitive handling and maximum ease of use In everyday use, TMACS impresses with its particularly simple and quick handling. Strong neodymium magnets automatically guide the tank ring and luggage into the correct position relative to each other. A spring-loaded rotary lock secures the system in place. To remove, simply pull on the release strap. The low construction height of the system also supports greater freedom of movement in off-road use and minimises the impact on vehicle ergonomics. Proven Touratech tank bags now with TMACS Touratech will initially equip selected existing tank bag series with TMACS as an option. Customers can choose between the classic fastening with straps and Velcro elements or the innovative quick-release fastener. The first series to feature this technology are the Extreme Edition by Touratech Waterproof, Ambato and Travel series for the BMW F 900 GS, R 1250 GS and 1300 GS models and their respective Adventure variants. Products for other motorcycle models and completely new tank bag lines with TMACS connectivity are already undergoing practical testing. Top quality Made in Germany The TMACS base element is manufactured in state-of-the-art machining centres at Touratech’s headquarters in Niedereschach, while the other components are produced by a sister company within the Happich Group, also in Germany. Touratech thus relies on short supply chains and transparent processes for TMACS as well, ensuring the highest product quality. Concept with great future possibilities TMACS is designed as a modular system and will also be used to attach other soft luggage solutions in the future. Touratech’s goal is to significantly improve ease of use and handling when mounting luggage systems and to establish a consistent user experience across all product lines in the long term. With TMACS, Touratech is expanding its portfolio with a state-of-the-art, user-friendly solution that is just as impressive in everyday use as it is on holiday trips and adventure tours.
