They are already pretty tall- big feeling bike. Not sure i would go there...
Lower 5mm, 10mm back raptor pegs is a really good mod...
If you do go higher go small increments, get a black or orange seat, I”ll take it when yiu sell it👍
I use the 13mm taller seat; it's better for me at 5'11", and it doesn't look bad. It looks like the bike should come that way. If you look at KTM power parts, they sell a taller seat and recommend a taller seat for riders over 5'9".

I'm 6" and a bit...The KTM tall (black) seat on the 24.5 was a must for me. On my 22 I got away with the stock seat but the 24.5 just had my knee angle a few degrees more bent.
I found getting from a sitting position to a standing position very hard on my knees. I do have average knees after 20+ years MX, though.
At practice a week or so ago I gave a guy with a 23 a ride on mine and he was raving about the seat as well, said he was going to order one straight away. He was also around 6".
Is that the 35mm height version? or the 20mm height one? I know it is petty but I am not a fan of the looks of the 35mm version seat.
Maybe I do start with pegs first.
Asked this question because I am in the middle of a new build and purchasing a seat and cover for it. Trying to decide if it's worth going with the next taller seat over stock and how it would look.
Thanks for the input guys.
Yep, I had to swap the Factory edition orange seat for the +20mm black seat, that agreed, doesn't look anywhere near as good BUT the difference is amazing. If it wasn't, I would have taken it straight off and left the Orange seat on!
Just ordered the KTM OEM +20mm seat for my ‘23 450 FE today- I’ll post up some pictures when it arrives..
Looking forward to it!
Guts racing is a better choice than OEM
I'm 6 4 and have a 30mm taller seat on my 2024 350sxf, also running raptor pegs 10 mm down and 5 mm back with 998 renthal twinwalls. Absolutely love it
I’m 6’4” on a stock 21.’ Been wanting to do what you’ve done. My knees a f’d and I cannot get in a seated position correctly. Do you find your set up helps?
Yes it 100% helps. My legs get less tired when standing and i find it easier to get into an attack position.
Tall seat on my ‘23 450 FE..I run the KX Tall bars and am looking at some lowered foot pegs ..
I'm 6'2" and the lowered/back pegs made a big difference in comfort for me. Also, have a 13 boot and never could get my peg and brake pedal or shifter to feel like I thought it should, which was extremely annoying. No matter how much I adjusted them. Put the lower/back pegs and perfect.
Lowered and back foot pegs made more of a difference to me then the seat. But with both added its money for us over 6'. If doing lowered pegs do the 13mm seat as the 30 with lowered pegs was almost to open of a triangle.
