Description

Sabelt X-PAD Racing Seat – FIA 8855-1999 Approved Carbon Fiber Seat

The Sabelt X-PAD Carbon Fiber FIA Racing Seat (RFSEXPADCARBON) is a high-performance, FIA-approved racing bucket engineered for competitive motorsport applications where space is limited and driver safety is essential. Constructed from a lightweight carbon fiber shell, this seat delivers exceptional structural strength, reduced weight, and advanced ergonomic support, making it ideal for racing cars with tight cockpits such as GT, touring, and performance road-based race cars.

Designed with a super-narrow head protection profile and deep side bolsters for maximum lateral support, the X-PAD maximizes containment during hard cornering without sacrificing fit in compact interiors. A special air ducting system channels airflow around the driver to help reduce heat buildup, while wrap-around shoulder padding with anti-slip fabric minimizes upper body movement. Larger side harness slots accommodate 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-point harness configurations, and the anti-submarining base design enhances driver stability under acceleration and braking.
