Next Level Racing® Elite ES1 HYPERCOOL Ventilated Sim Racing Seat

Actively Ventilated Fixed-Back Sim Racing Seat Next Level Racing® Elite ES1 HYPERCOOL Ventilated Sim Racing Seat The Next Level Racing® Elite ES1 HYPERCOOL Ventilated Sim Racing Seat combines the proven fixed-back ES1 bucket-seat platform with an integrated dual-fan cooling system. Two centrifugal fan motors direct airflow through breathable SIMAERO Mesh fabric to help reduce heat buildup during endurance racing, training sessions, and long simulator events. A rotationally molded LLDPE shell, PU molded foam, adjustable fan-speed control, and side-mount cockpit compatibility create a premium seat for serious home and commercial rigs. Integrated Dual Centrifugal Fans Infinitely Adjustable Fan Speed Up to 42-Inch Waist 551 lb Seat Capacity Seat only: Cockpit, side-mount seat brackets, seat sliders, harness, ButtKicker, wheelbase, pedals, electronics, and other simulator equipment are sold separately. This seat is designed for simulation and esports use—not road vehicles. i ProSimHQ Expert Insight Best for Endurance Racers Who Want a Rigid Bucket Seat With Active Cooling The ES1 HYPERCOOL addresses one of the most common complaints with fixed-back racing seats: heat accumulation during long sessions. The cooling system is integrated into the seat rather than added as an external cushion or fan pad. This remains a firm, fixed-back bucket seat. Buyers who prioritize reclining comfort or easy entry over shell rigidity should compare the ERS3 HYPERCOOL. What we like most: The fan speed can be adjusted continuously while seated, allowing the driver to use low airflow for casual sessions and stronger cooling during endurance events. Integrated Dual-Fan Cooling System Two centrifugal fan motors direct airflow through the seat’s breathable SIMAERO Mesh surface toward areas where heat commonly builds during long sessions. Two Centrifugal Fans Designed to move focused airflow through the ventilated seat surface. Targeted Cooling Zones Helps reduce heat buildup across key driver contact areas. Integrated Design Cooling hardware is built into the seat rather than added as a loose pad. Cooling performance varies with clothing, room temperature, humidity, fan setting, and the driver’s body position. Infinitely Adjustable Fan Speed A metal-finished potentiometer knob provides continuous fan-speed adjustment rather than limiting the user to a small number of fixed settings. Low-Speed Cooling Useful for casual racing, cooler rooms, and reduced fan noise. Higher-Speed Cooling Useful during longer, warmer, or more physically demanding sessions. SIMAERO Mesh and PU Molded Foam Breathable SIMAERO Mesh works with the active airflow system while PU molded foam provides shaped support across the fixed-back seat. Breathable Surface Allows airflow from the integrated fan system to reach the driver. Molded Cushioning Provides consistent support across the seat shell. Endurance Focus Designed to improve comfort during multi-hour simulator sessions. Rotationally Molded LLDPE Shell The fixed-back shell is rotationally molded from linear low-density polyethylene to provide a durable and rigid simulator-seat structure. Fixed-Back Design Provides a consistent seat angle without a reclining mechanism. Load-Cell Braking Support Helps maintain driver position under stronger pedal inputs. Long-Term Durability Designed for repeated simulator use in home and commercial environments. 42-Inch Waist and 551 lb Capacity The bucket-seat profile is designed to accommodate users up to approximately a 42-inch waist and supports up to 250 kg / 551 lb. Waist size alone does not guarantee comfort. Shoulder width, hip width, thigh clearance, torso length, and preferred seating angle should also be considered before ordering a fixed-back seat. GT, Hybrid and Formula Positioning GT Position Ready for compatible GT-style side-mount installations. Hybrid Position Requires the separately sold NLR Universal Seat Brackets. Formula Position Requires Universal Seat Brackets and a compatible cockpit geometry. Do not advertise Formula or Hybrid positioning as available without the required seat brackets and compatible cockpit adjustment range. Cockpit and Mounting Compatibility The ES1 HYPERCOOL uses side mounting and is intended for NLR Elite Series cockpits and compatible third-party cockpits with suitable side-mount seat hardware. F-GT Elite 160 Compatible with the correct side-mount seat brackets. F-GT Elite and Elite Lite Compatible when the cockpit includes suitable side brackets. GTElite and GTElite Lite Compatible with the required seat-bracket configuration. Third-Party Profile Cockpits May fit when width, bracket spacing, and side-mount geometry match. Seat Sliders Can be added with compatible side brackets and cockpit mounting hardware. Fixed-Frame Cockpits Must provide sufficient width and mounting adjustment for the shell. Side-mount seat brackets are required and are not included unless your cockpit package specifically supplies them. Confirm cockpit width, bracket spacing, slider compatibility, and seat angle before ordering. ButtKicker, Harness and Slider Mounting Inserts Brass over-molded inserts are incorporated into the shell to support compatible tactile, harness, and slider configurations. ButtKicker Support Supports selected tactile-transducer mounting solutions. Harness Support Provides mounting provisions for compatible simulator harness setups. Seat Slider Support Supports compatible slider and bracket installations. Accessories and mounting hardware are sold separately. Verify the exact mounting solution before installing a transducer, harness, or slider. ES1 HYPERCOOL or ERS3 HYPERCOOL?
