BRIDE ZETA GHOST Bucket Seat [HA1CM1/HA1CM2]

BRIDE ZETA GHOST Bucket Seat [HA1CM1/HA1CM2]

ZETA is BRIDE’s standard model for full bucket seats and has been their best-seller since 1990. Designed to fit the human skeleton and body shape, ZETA prioritizes safety for both road driving and motorsports, including circuit racing. This model is known for combining racing performance with comfort.

The ZETA Series

• Advanced Material & Manufacturing Method: BRIDE has enhanced shell rigidity by 15% by incorporating more high-performance materials into the FRP shells, such as glass fiber and aramid fiber. The seat and thigh cushions, in direct contact with the body, now feature molded urethane, increasing comfort and durability for extended driving.
• Shell Design & Hold Performance Considering Safety: The newly shaped shell and vertical slits in the back cushion improve fit from the headrest to the back and shoulders, allowing drivers to maintain an ideal driving position comfortably over long periods. The raised thigh design also minimizes the risk of the submarine phenomenon (where the occupant slides forward) during hard braking or collisions.
• LOWMAX System in the ZETA Series: The ZETA series uses the LOWMAX system, which reduces shoulder width to 560mm. Previously exclusive to select full bucket and reclining seats, the LOWMAX system in ZETA allows for optimal alignment of the seat center with the steering wheel center, making it compatible with a wider range of vehicle models.

The ZETA GHOST

• An aggressive variant based on BRIDE’s standard full bucket seat model ZETA IV, the ZETAGHOST features a striking camouflage pattern covering the entire seat back. ZETAGHOST blends functionality and style, with a bold, all-over camouflage design inspired by the ZETA IV model. It retains the core performance attributes of the lightweight, high-rigidity ZETA IV, including superior hold-ability, comfort, durability, and safety, combined with a playful yet aggressive camouflage look. This model is versatile, suitable for everything from circuit sports driving to diverse outdoor activities. The shell is crafted from silver FRP, available in two color options: green camouflage and blue camouflage.
  • Attention to Detail in Design: ZETAGHOST offers a clean aesthetic, fully covered down to the seat rail metal stay on the seat’s side. Additionally, it includes a Velcro slit, allowing compatibility with seat rails that have extended stays (LF type, etc.).
  • Full Coverage with a Camouflage Pattern Across the Entire Seat: Unlike the standard model’s full bucket seat, ZETAGHOST’s back is fully wrapped in camouflage fabric. This design helps minimize damage if a rear seat passenger collides with the front seat in an unexpected accident.

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.
