The racing seat I got for my car is fantastic, and their customer service and support are excellent as well.
The T11 shape is the most popular for adult sized karts, typically used by manufacturers and professional kart racing teams.
This model has a flat base and a mid-angle reclined back. This design was created to position the driver lower in the kart whilst allowing a more powerful upright shoulder turn, giving the driver more control.
For drivers with a long torso, the T9.5 is further reclined.
Why Fit Matters
A proper fit is essential for driver protection and kart handling. A loose seat causes the driver to pull when steering, lifting themselves from the kart and creating instability.
Assessing Fit With a Seat
With rib protection worn, sit in the seat and check the gap at the leg bone, hip bone, and along the ribs. The rib protector shouldn’t compress inward when seated. You should barely fit your fingers between your body and the seat at any point. Pressure should be even throughout – nothing loose or pinching. Firm foam can correct minor looseness; pinching requires a different size.
Assessing Fit Without a Seat
Jeans waist size, weight, height, and chest circumference are reliable indicators. Note your rib protector type – thicker models can require up to two sizes larger and leave hips loose. Consider a slimmer protector or our WT (wide top) T11 seat to compensate.
Fitting the Seat
Half the kart’s weight shifted 5mm will affect balance. Average seat positions have moved roughly 3cm rearward since the late nineties. See our fitting guide PDF for detailed instructions.
