BRIDE STRADIA III CLASSIC Reclining Bucket Seat in Black [G71CL1/G72CL1]

BRIDE STRADIA III CLASSIC Reclining Bucket Seat in Black [G71CL1/G72CL1]

BRIDE’s sporty reclining seat, crafted as a semi-bucket seat, combines high rigidity and support comparable to a full bucket seat while allowing for easy entry and exit. The STRADIA series, marking its first comprehensive redesign in nearly 15 years, represents a new era of reclining seats. Created with BRIDE’s vision to unite the track-driving stability with the everyday comfort and practicality, the STRADIA seats introduce innovations across the design, body shell, frame, cushion, and reclining mechanism. This flagship model draws from BRIDE’s 40 years of motorsport expertise.

The STRADIA Series

• A New Frame & Shell Designed Using 3D-CAD: The newly developed bone frame and monocoque body shell, inspired by the ZETA IV model, are precisely engineered to provide enhanced shoulder support, significantly boosting hold performance. This redesign has increased the frame’s load capacity by 200%, improved torsional strength by 40%, and strengthened the backrest’s frontal collision resilience by 15% compared to the STRADIA II.
• A Newly Developed Stepped Reclining Mechanism: The reclining mechanism now features a compact design, enhancing both precision and durability. Backlash and looseness, typical of stepped adjustment mechanisms, have been reduced to provide better hold and greater comfort.
• A One-Touch Reclining Lever with Excellent Functionality: In the STRADIA III, BRIDE has replaced the traditional backrest adjustment dial with a one-touch reclining lever, enhancing ease of use, durability, and spatial efficiency within the vehicle.
• Incorporating the LOWMAX System for Optimal Low Driving Position: The STRADIA series employs BRIDE’s patented LOWMAX System, which allows for a low seating position even in compact spaces. This technology enables precise alignment of the steering wheel and seat centers, eliminating offsets and optimizing comfort and control.

The STRADIA III CLASSIC

• A distinctive seat design enhances easy entry/exit and optimal support. The STRADIA Classic, inspired by earlier designs, is a refreshed reclining seat crafted with BRIDE’s unique concept: blending the hold performance essential for circuit racing with the comfort and convenience needed for everyday use. Every element, from design, body shell, and frame to the cushioning and reclining mechanism, reflects BRIDE’s 40 years of expertise in the motorsports industry. The newly-developed reclining mechanism and one-touch reclining lever prioritize maximum operability, convenience, and durability, improving support and comfort by minimizing play and vibrations with step-by-step adjustments. Additionally, a 6-point harness slot is added to the back, paired with specially designed high-density urethane foam cushions for the seat and thigh, delivering superior support.
  • Specially Designed Seat & Thigh Cushions: High-density, molded urethane foam in the seat and thigh cushions evenly distributes body pressure across the flat seat surface, providing firm support and reducing fatigue. This material resists compression and offers outstanding durability. Alongside the standard cushion type, a low-profile option with a reduced thickness (about 2/3) is also available.
  • Classic Seat Belt Passages: Returning by popular demand, the STRADIA III Classic includes smaller seat belt passages seen in many iconic BRIDE models, along with the “Classic” logo embroidered in gold.

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.
