BRIDE ZETA IV VERIO Bucket Seat in Black [HA1OSF]

BRIDE ZETA IV VERIO Bucket Seat in Black [HA1OSF]

ZETA is BRIDE’s flagship full bucket seat model and has remained their top seller since 1990. Engineered to align with the human skeleton and body contours, ZETA prioritizes safety in both daily driving and motorsports, including circuit racing. This model is celebrated for its blend of racing performance and comfort.

The ZETA Series

• Advanced Material & Manufacturing Method: BRIDE has increased the shell’s rigidity by 15% through the integration of high-performance materials, including glass fiber and aramid fiber, into the FRP shells. The seat and thigh cushions, which make direct contact with the body, now feature molded urethane, enhancing both comfort and durability for long-term use.
• Shell Design & Hold Performance with Safety in Mind: A newly designed shell and vertical slits in the back cushion provide an improved fit from the headrest down to the back and shoulders, enabling drivers to maintain an ideal driving posture comfortably over extended periods. The elevated thigh design further reduces the risk of the submarine effect (where the occupant slides forward) during sudden braking or collisions.
• LOWMAX System in the ZETA Series: The ZETA series incorporates the LOWMAX system, narrowing shoulder width to 560mm. Originally limited 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, expanding compatibility with a wider variety of vehicle models.

The ZETA IV VERIO

• Racing model designed for smaller drivers – ZETA IV VERIO is tailored for slim and small drivers, crafted from the BRIDE full bucket seat standard model ZETA IV. The shell design specifically fits drivers under 5.25 ft, providing support for a range of activities from street driving to intense sports driving. The side support, from the flanks to the thighs, is approximately 30mm narrower than the standard model, allowing small and slim drivers to fully experience the seat’s original holding performance. The seat bottom features approximately 15mm of high-hardness urethane, along with a built-in removable urethane cushion, enabling an adjustable seat height increase of up to 30mm. The shell is made from FRP silver, with the seat color in black.
  • Special Specification with Tailored Tuning: ZETA IV VERIO is fine-tuned with a focus on smaller, slim drivers. The urethane thickness on the side support and seat has been modified to offer a snugger fit compared to the standard model. As a result, slim and small drivers who may struggle with standard bucket seats can now enjoy the firm support necessary for hard sports driving.
  • FIA-Approved Model: ZETA IV VERIO meets the standard set by the FIA (Federation Internationale de l’Automobile / FIA8855-1999). Its design, quality, and high safety standards have passed rigorous testing, making it suitable for international 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.
