Tillett Racing Seats is excited to introduce the T15 Kart Seat and reintroduce a seat shape that has been loved by drivers since the late 1980s. Based on the immensely popular T7 and T8 models, the T15 combines classic design with modern innovation to provide maximum support and comfort for deep-chested drivers.
The T15's design is heavily inspired by the T7 and T8 seats, which have long been celebrated for their ergonomic excellence. These seats were known for their small, flat leg support and anti-submarine front kickup, ensuring a secure and comfortable ride. Most importantly, the deeper sides and curved back of the T7 and T8 seats offer exceptional support for deep-chested drivers, making them a favourite among karting enthusiasts.
When the original T8 injection moulds were retired after an impressive 25 years of production, many loyal customers were left disappointed. Recognising the demand for this tried-and-true shape, Tillett Racing Seats decided it was only right to bring it back, but with a contemporary twist. The result is the T15, a seat that honours its heritage whilst meeting the demands of modern kart racing.
The T15 is available in sizes ML, L, XL, and XXL, catering specifically to larger drivers. Each size has been meticulously adapted to accommodate modern requirements, the use of a rib protector like the P1 or P1 Defender for example. This attention to detail ensures the T15 provides the perfect fit and maximum comfort, regardless of the driver's size.
One of the standout features of the T15 is its slightly more upright 58° angle. This design is particularly advantageous for historic karts, as it helps shift the weight from the rear axle, enhancing the performance. Additionally, the narrow back of the T15 is designed to fit snugly between the engines of pro karts, even in the XL and XXL sizes. This makes the T15 an excellent choice for competitive kart racers who require a larger seat.
Understanding that different racing conditions and personal preferences call for varying levels of rigidity, Tillett Racing Seats offers the T15 in a full range of rigidities. Drivers can choose from the T15VTi, T15VG, T15t, and T15 standard models.
The T15 represents the perfect blend of tradition and innovation. By reviving a classic design and enhancing it with modern manufacturing processes, Tillett Racing Seats has created a seat that offers the best of both worlds. The T15's perfect laminate construction ensures consistent quality and durability, making it a reliable choice for kart racers who demand the best.
Whether you're a seasoned racer looking to recapture the comfort and support of the T7 and T8 seats or a new driver seeking a high-performance seat that caters to larger sizes, the T15 is designed to meet your needs. With its super comfortable and supportive shape, narrow back for better engine fit, selection of colour options, and a full range of rigidities, the T15 is poised to become a favourite in the kart racing community.
