Racetech 9109 HR seat delivers safety in a lightweight package

When designed and installed correctly, race seats should support four vital areas of the body: the head, the shoulders, the pelvis and the thighs. If these four areas are effectively supported and kept in proper alignment, the human body may be able to withstand and survive an impact of more than 100 G.

To stay safe during collisions of any magnitude, you'll want the best seat available underneath you. Weighing in at a mere 8.3 lb. (3.6 kg.), the Racetech 9109HR is not only the safest FIA-approved head-restraint seat on the market, but also the lightest. Racetech seats have been successfully crash-tested up to 45 G in all directions; the support and mounting equipment has been proven to 70 G.

Constructed of a durable Kevlar-carbon fiber shell and suitable for six- or seven-point harnesses, the 9109 HR also offers a rear spigot for a cold air duct and ducted air channels within the seat itself.

Most male body mass is located within the upper torso area between the shoulders. That's why the 9109 HR design incorporates a rear-fixing rigid beam at shoulder level and specially designed rollcage mounting points with a square shoulder support to retain the body during a large lateral impact. To maintain the highest level of safety performance, Racetech seats should only be mounted with coordinating Racetech RB1009 side brackets.

Head and neck support systems offer protection in a 20-degree range if the head is thrown in a forward direction during an impact. By offering side head restraint, the 9109 HR works in conjunction with HANS devices to provide maximum safety benefits.

The fabric used in Racetech seats is backed by a fire-retardant, energy-absorbing foam to improve the integrity of the product. The 9109 HR is available in black, red or blue fabric with grey suede patches on high-wear points.

Recommended by top race safety engineers, Racetech composite seats are manufactured in New Zealand by a dedicated production team that understands what it takes to meet the needs of today's drivers.
