ERS5 Fabric & SimAero Mesh Edition

The Next Level Racing® ERS5 Elite Reclining Seat, Fabric & SIMAERO Mesh Edition is the snug, race-style option in the Elite reclining range. It is built for sim racers who want their seat to feel like the one in a real race car. It is also an FIA Official Licensed Product.

A closer copy of a real race seat

The ERS5 is the more fitted choice, and it wraps around you. Its fitted, ergonomic shape holds you firmly in place, which helps your posture and lets you place the car more precisely. It suits drivers who want their rig to reach a professional standard and feel closer to real motorsport.

The fit is race-inspired and tight. Next Level Racing recommends it for waist sizes up to 40 inches (101 cm).

Breathable for hot, long sessions

The upholstery combines racing fabric with SIMAERO Mesh. The mesh boosts ventilation and lets air flow freely, so heat builds up less and you stay cool and comfortable when sessions get intense. It keeps the look of a race seat while staying practical and hard-wearing, and it gives your rig a professional appearance.

Strong enough for heavy pedals

A double recliner mechanism gives the ERS5 extra strength and lets you adapt the backrest angle. It stays stable when you push heavy-duty load cell pedals hard, lap after lap. Cold-molded foam adds lasting support and durability, and the seat is built to handle pro-level equipment and the demands of serious use. Whether you race GT or another discipline, it stays comfortable and keeps you locked in.

FIA Official Licensed Product
