Sabelt X-Pad Carbon Racing Seat
$3,299.00
Sabelt X-Pad Carbon Fiber Racing Seat
The Sabelt X-Pad Carbon is exceptionally light weight, the perfect seat for those racing smaller cars with limited interior space who still demand the safety of a full-containment seat. Sabelt has managed to by making the shell smaller and lighter while maintaining interior seat dimensions that fit most average racing drivers.
Strong, Light, and Compact Racing Seat Comfort
The X-Pad Carbon is Sabelt’s most compact seat yet, specifically designed to fit in smaller cockpits and offering the safety and weight savings of a high-strength carbon fiber shell. They achieved this by replacing bulky racing seat padding with significantly thinner, but still very comfortable foam padding. You'll never miss the added bulk!
The Sabelt X-Pad Carbon's exterior dimensions of the seat were reduced by changing key elements like eliminating the "rolled" upper edges of the seat -- which combine to reduce the width significantly without narrowing the seat to the point where it would only fit small drivers.
The Sabelt X-Pad Carbon is a prime example of how game-changing innovation can be discovered in plain sight; it doesn't always require a shake-up to standard conventions.
Sabelt X-Pad Carbon Racing Seat Details:
FIA 8855-1999 homologation
Weight: 14.5 lbs (6.6 kg)

Based on the same shell shape as Sabelt's top of the range GT Pro racing seat, the Sabelt GT-AM is a professional competition seat manufactured from lightweight fiberglass, making it a more affordable option to club racing competitors.
Sabelt GT-AM Offers Exceptional Safety Features
The Sabelt GT-AM seat was designed to offer superb levels of safety along with exceptional comfort. Deep side bolsters not only offer excellent lateral support, but they also keep the driver's legs inside the seat structure for greater impact protection. The integral wrap-around head support helps prevent neck injuries by checking excessive lateral head movement during a crash. Deep wrap-around shoulders provide support to the upper body, reducing lateral movement.
Sabelt GT-AM Makes Customized Driver Comfort Easy
The Sabelt GT-AM uses removable pads constructed from high-density foam to absorb vibration and shock loads, improving comfort and reducing driver fatigue. Replacement cushions in different thicknesses are available, allowing the driver to tailor the fit of the GT-AM.
The Sabelt GT-AM is compatible with all types of head-and-neck devices, including hybrid versions. Six harness slots allow the seat to be used with any type of racing harness.
