Riding miles down the road has a charm of its own – the call of the open road with wind in your hair and rumble of the engine beneath you. In reality, however, the long hours cruising on a bike also come with rider fatigue. And while standard features like a bike seat cushion are functional, a lot is left to be desired in terms of sustained comfort and convenience.
This is where aftermarket modifications come in. Not only do they transform your trusty ride into a more comfortable one, but they also add a tinge of personalization to it. From picking a sturdy crash guard to protect your engine, a reliable mobile holder to mount your phone on, or the best motorcycle seat cushions for long rides, here is a list of things you must take note of before planning your next road trip.
Make Rides More Comfortable: Magic of Air Seat Cushions for Bikes
When covering long distances by road, comfort becomes a necessity, as constant bumps on the road can lead to prolonged tailbone and back pain. To ensure that your comfort isn’t compromised, air suspension seats are the way to go. Unlike traditional foam padding, these seats utilize air bladders that actively absorb road vibrations and impacts by evenly distributing body weight and providing dynamic cushioning. At GrandPitstop, we offer air seat cushions for lumbar support for all your needs:
-
Cruiser Bikes: For everyday travel, these air seat cushions help prevent or reduce back pain.
-
Sports Bikes: These air seats are specifically designed for sports bikes and are compatible with most.
-
Pillion Riders: We all know that pillion riders experience more shock and impact, so it only makes sense to have a seat designed keeping that in mind.
The best part is that these can also be used outside of travelling. Less backache, more miles!
Stay Connected and On Track: Mobile Holders and GPS Mounts
Smartphones are an indispensable part of travelling in today’s age. Trying to balance a phone in your pocket or fumbling with it on the go is not only inconvenient but also a significant safety hazard. A mobile holder or mount is the perfect solution for all your navigational needs. It ensures your GPS is always in clear view, allowing for confident navigation without taking your eyes off the road for too long. At GrandPitstop, you can get:
-
Mobile holders with chargers, so you don’t have to worry about battery life while navigating long distances.
-
Mobile holders with Magnetic Lock Technology for both bikes and cars ensuring that your phone stays put.

-
GPS Mounts: For bikes with handlebars that do not have space to mount their phones on, we also offer specific mounts.
Form Meets Functionality: Frames, Fittings & More for Bikes
Frames and fittings are a fantastic way to personalize your bike and add practical functionality. Here are some recommendations from us:
-
A luggage rack that can increase your carrying capacity, so there’s no need for you to be stingy with your packing.
-
Face Masks and Sunblock Arm Sleeves: Road trips on bikes can get rough with dust and heat, and these accessories are your best companions for travelling.
-
A crash guard for your engine when you are travelling through rough terrain.
