Description

Sabelt X-PAD Racing Seat – FIA 8855-1999 Approved Fiberglass Seat

The Sabelt X-Pad Racing Seat (RFSEXPADNR) is a compact, performance-oriented racing bucket engineered to deliver certified safety, ergonomic support, and superior airflow for competitive motorsport applications where cockpit space is limited. Homologated to FIA 8855-1999, this high-containment fiberglass seat offers exceptional lateral support and fitment for race cars with narrower interiors without sacrificing structural strength or driver protection.

Developed with a super-narrow head protection profile and deep side bolsters, the X-Pad maximizes driver stability during aggressive cornering while maintaining a slim footprint ideal for tight-fit applications such as touring cars, GT race cars, and compact sports cars. Its lightweight fiberglass shell integrates a special air ducting cushioning system that channels airflow to improve cooling and reduce heat buildup during intense sessions. Generous harness slots accommodate 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-point racing harness systems, and an anti-submarining base helps maintain safe posture under hard acceleration or braking.
