BRIDE STRADIA III EVO-S Reclining Bucket Seat in Black & Red [G72VN1]

BRIDE STRADIA III EVO-S Reclining Bucket Seat in Black & Red [G72VN1]

BRIDE’s sporty semi-bucket reclining seat combines remarkable rigidity and support, approaching the feel of a full bucket seat while ensuring easy entry and exit. The STRADIA series, newly redesigned for the first time in nearly 15 years, ushers in a new era of reclining seats. Created with BRIDE’s vision to merge the holding performance essential for track driving with the comfort and convenience needed for everyday use, the STRADIA seats feature advancements in design, body shell, frame, cushion, and reclining mechanism: a flagship model born from BRIDE’s four decades of motorsports expertise.

The STRADIA Series

• A New Frame & Shell Designed Using 3D-CAD: The newly engineered bone frame and monocoque body shell, inspired by the ZETA IV, are specifically shaped to improve shoulder support and hold performance. This update brings a 200% increase in frame load capacity, a 40% improvement in torsional strength, and a 15% enhancement in frontal collision strength of the backrest compared to the STRADIA II.
• A Newly Developed Stepped Reclining Mechanism: The reclining mechanism has been compactly reengineered, offering improved precision and strength. Common issues like backlash and looseness found in standard stepped mechanisms are minimized, delivering reliable support and enhanced comfort.
• A One-Touch Reclining Lever with Enhanced Functionality: In the STRADIA III, the traditional backrest angle adjustment dial is replaced with a one-touch reclining lever, boosting convenience, durability, and space efficiency within the vehicle.
• Utilizing the LOWMAX System for an Optimal Low Driving Position: The STRADIA series features BRIDE’s patented LOWMAX System, enabling an ultra-low seating position even in compact spaces. This system ensures precise alignment between the seat and steering wheel centers, eliminating offset for maximum comfort and control.

The STRADIA III EVO-S

• The STRADIA III EVO-S is a limited-edition, made-to-order model tailored specifically for slender and smaller drivers. Based on BRIDE’s flagship STRADIA III reclining seat, which offers a high balance of support and convenience, the EVO-S enhances side support and thickens the urethane cushioning around the seat base to provide a secure, comfortable fit for smaller frames. This model features a silver FRP shell with a black fabric base and a sporty design, accented with red lines around the seat’s perimeter and backrest. It also includes a low-profile thigh cushion.
  • Half-Cover Model Where the Back of the Seat is Covered with Fabric: This half-cover model extends the fabric to the back of the shell, while the advanced reclining mechanism reduces play and backlash, complemented by a one-touch reclining lever for easy operation. Designed for versatility, the STRADIA III EVO-S is well-suited for both city and performance driving.
  • Tuning for Slender & Small Drivers: Compared to the standard STRADIA III model, the STRADIA III EVO-S offers an additional 15mm of side support and extra urethane cushioning in the seat base, enhancing fit and comfort for slender and smaller drivers.

About BRIDE

“For safety. Made using only Made in Japan.” BRIDE produces all its seats and seat rail products, which are closest to the driver and also protect the driver’s body in the case of an accident, domestically in Japan. BRIDE’s seats are ASEA-approved products which have cleared the standards of ASEA, the industry organization whose members comprise motorsports companies and related tuning parts manufacture and sales companies which represent Japan, and are models which conform to vehicle inspections and have cleared rigorous safety benchmarks. The safety benchmark comprises 6 items–“seat back rear surface crash test”, “head restraint forward crash test”, “head restraint static test”, “seat and seat mounting test”, “seat belt mounting test”, and “flame resistance test”–in which a great amount of force is applied to the seats assuming an accident to check whether the seats are damaged and whether they can be maintained for the regulated time, and to confirm the safety of the seats.

Also, BRIDE’s seats are the first seats produced in Japan to be licensed by FIA, and they provide 9 models which can be used in international races. In order to maintain and improve product quality to pass safety benchmarks and strict FIA strength tests, BRIDE conducts thorough management of its manufacturing process. In order to provide high quality seats, craftsmen with the highly refined skills to manufacture by hand, materials developed with advanced technology such as shells and cloth, and the logistics to manufacture and ship to the market with stability are all essential. In order to strictly control and maintain seat quality, they only use Made in Japan. And at BRIDE, they also feel that the words “Made in Japan” indicate a trust developed by Japan over many years and a quality recognized around the world. These words show the face of a manufacturer, and imply Japan’s unique fine skills, abundant creative power, and commitment to refined hand-made technology and sensitivity. Always keeping in mind the racing scene where lives are on the line, “Made in Japan” is an essential commitment for BRIDE in its production of safe and high quality seats.
