BRIDE ZETA IV VERIA Bucket Seat in Black [HA1VSF]

BRIDE ZETA IV VERIA Bucket Seat in Black [HA1VSF]

ZETA is BRIDE’s flagship model for full bucket seats and has remained their best-seller since 1990. Engineered to accommodate the human skeleton and body contours, ZETA emphasizes safety for both road use and motorsports, including circuit racing, achieving a balance of racing performance and comfort.

The ZETA Series

• Advanced Material & Manufacturing Method: BRIDE has improved shell rigidity by 15% by incorporating advanced materials such as glass fiber and aramid fiber into the FRP shells. The seat and thigh cushions, which come into direct contact with the body, now feature molded urethane for enhanced comfort and durability during long drives.
• Shell Design & Hold Performance with Safety in Mind: The newly designed shell and vertical slits in the back cushion enhance fitment from the headrest through the back and shoulders, supporting drivers in maintaining an ideal driving position over extended periods. The elevated thigh design also reduces the risk of the submarine effect (where the occupant slides forward) during hard braking or collisions.
• LOWMAX System in the ZETA Series: The ZETA series incorporates the LOWMAX system, which narrows shoulder width to 560mm. Originally reserved for select full bucket and reclining seats, the LOWMAX system in ZETA optimizes seat center alignment with the steering wheel center, increasing compatibility across a broader range of vehicle models.

The ZETA IV VERIA

• Racing model optimized for smaller drivers: The ZETA IV VERIA is specifically tuned for slim and small drivers, derived from BRIDE’s standard ZETA IV full bucket seat model. Designed to comfortably fit drivers under 5.25 feet, this model adapts to a variety of settings, from street use to intense sports driving. The side supports from the waist to the thighs are approximately 30mm narrower than the standard model, allowing even smaller drivers to experience the full holding performance of a bucket seat. It incorporates about 15mm of high-density urethane on the seat base, with an additional removable urethane cushion, allowing seat height adjustment up to 30mm. The shell is made of FRP silver, with a black seat color, while the BRIDE logo and headrest stitching are presented in a distinctive pink.
  • Exclusive Tuning Specification: ZETA IV VERIA is a full bucket seat tailored for slim and small drivers, with urethane thickness adjustments on the side support and seat for a snugger fit than the standard model. This provides thin and small drivers, who may struggle with traditional bucket seats, the security needed for intense sports driving.
  • FIA-Approved Model: The ZETA IV VERIA meets standards as specified by the FIA (Federation Internationale de l’Automobile / FIA8855-1999). This model’s rigorous design, quality, and safety level withstand demanding testing, making it suitable for international-level races and competitions.

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.
