ERS5 PU Leather & Suede Edition

The Next Level Racing® ERS5 Elite Reclining Seat, PU Leather & Suede Edition pairs the hug of a race seat with recliner comfort. It is an FIA Official Licensed Product for sim racers who want their rig to feel like genuine motorsport.

How the ERS5 differs

Next Level Racing shaped the ERS5 to be more contoured and snug than the ERS3 or ERS4. It recreates the feel of a real race seat, yet it still reclines, which keeps it comfortable and easy to access. The fitted, ergonomic form supports you closely, improves your posture and helps you drive with precision. It lifts a sim setup toward a professional standard.

Because the fit is tighter, it works best for waist sizes up to 40 inches (101 cm).

Leather and suede, built to last

The upholstery is a blend of PU leather and suede. It brings a sleek, high-end feel and adds durability. Under the cover, cold-molded foam gives firm support that lasts. The racing-inspired shape helps you stay precise and in control, combining a smart look with everyday practicality. For a serious sim racer, it is a worthwhile upgrade.

Stable under heavy braking

The ERS5 uses a solid double recliner mechanism. It keeps the seat stable during high-intensity racing, including when you lean on heavy-duty load cell pedals. The compact, fitted design stays comfortable over extended sessions, so you can keep your focus on the race. It feels right in GT racing and in other kinds of simulation too.

FIA Official Licensed Product

Developed together with the FIA, the ERS5 satisfies its top standards for motorsport simulation equipment. This partnership supports the FIA's global initiatives to grow esports and nurture motorsport talent. Next Level Racing calls the seat part of its commitment to professional-grade solutions for sim racers in every part of the world.
