JDM Sports Recline Seat

The JDM is our newest recline sim racing seat, upholstered in soft & comfortable black & red suedette, with JDM-inspired design - the perfect combination with your R-PRO or R-MAX Black Edition Sim Rig. 

The JDM seat is upholstered in black & red suedette with elegant red contrast stitching, the aesthetic inspired by famous JDM icons. The seat has a premium and stylish stylish appearance, and the suedette is soft and comfortable. The seat is embellished with the Upshift logo in black stitching, for a stealthy and subtle appearance, and the rear of the seat is finished in black leatherette, leatherette, further adding to its sporty intentions. Subtle & Stylish, JDM style.

The JDM Seat was designed to be mounted directly to the R-PRO or R-MAX and, in-keeping with our ethos of convenience, the JDM Sports Seat mounts directly to the cockpit via the included dual-locking seat slider. Furthermore, to keep the installation straight forward and quick, the seat slider is pre-installed to the seat from the factory, so it's more convenient for you and to have you racing sooner! The dual-locking seat slider provides you with quick and easy adjustments backwards/forwards, enabling you and anyone else who uses it to get a suitable driving position.

Our JDM Sports Seat is a recliner seat, which means it is similar to a car seat you would find in a Japanese hot hatch car - it has sporty cushioned bolsters that will grip you snugly in the seat, giving a racey feel. The cushioned bolsters are comfortable, supportive and purposeful, so they gently hug you as you drive and hold you in the seat, emphasising the racing intentions of the seat. At the same time, these cushioned bolsters are also relatively soft and they have some give, which means getting in and out of the seat is easy.

The JDM Sports Seat is shipped to you fully assembled and ready to be bolted onto the rig.
Unlike other manufacturers who ship seats to you in pieces for you to assemble, we pre-assemble the seat for you at our factory, and we also pre-install the seat slider, so all you need to do is bolt it to the rig and you are ready to race!

Being a recliner seat, this means the JDM Sports Seat has an easy-to-use lever that you pull and can adjust the angle of the seat, incorporating as much/little recline as you may want! This is a great feature as it allows for quick and easy recline adjustments, in combination with the seat slider, it means whoever you are, you can find your ideal driving position. If you needed to put the rig away in storage or transport it during a house move, the seat also folds very far forwards, which is great if you want to minimise the space the rig occupies. 

For racers who want maximum realism, a fibreglass bucket seat like our GTS Bucket Seat provides deeper, fixed bolsters like you'll find in a racing car, designed specifically to keep the driver firmly in place; the trade off is bucket seats are a little harder to get in and out of and there isn't any give in the fixed bolsters, so if you've got a particularly wide chest/waist this may be an issue, but for the majority of racers this isn't an issue. Our GTR Bucket Seat takes this racing style a step further, with deeper bolsters and protruding head restraints for maximum motorsport immersion.

The JDM Recline Seat is a brilliant seat for all sim racers who want a sporty racing seat that is comfortable and without the high bolsters of a traditional bucket seat. For some people, the big bolsters of a bucket seat are fantastic; for others, these big bolsters are restrictive and uncomfortable. Our JDM Recline Seat is an ideal option for racers who want a seat that is comfortable and spacious. The JDM was designed with comfort in mind to be, first and foremost, a gaming seat. A racing seat needs to be strong and protect the driver; a gaming seat's focus is about comfort and adjustability, being easy to use and ergonomic for longer gaming sessions. This is exactly what the JDM achieves. The JDM Recline Seat is fully compatible with our R-PRO 80x40 Black Edition Sim Rig and R-MAX 160x40 Black Edition Sim Rig, and it attaches to the rig using the include dual lock seat slider, so as well as easy recline adjustment, you can also easily slide the seat back and forth easily with the slider, so the JDM really is an ideal solution for individuals who require lots of adjustment.
