Conformity to The Safety Standards

• Vehicles registered before March 31, 1969 meet safety standards. Models without headrests do not comply with these standards and should therefore not be used on public roads. Additionally, models that are only meant for competition use also fail to adhere to the established safety regulations and must likewise be avoided in public areas.

Safety of BRIDE Seat

• The NEO CLASSIC series puts a great emphasis on how it complements the design of your car, so certain models may not comply with safety regulations due to their lack of headrests. However, just like other BRIDE seats in this range, they are strong and durable enough for you to use them confidently.

Expansion & Potential of Applications

• The NEO CLASSIC series has been designed to be both aesthetically pleasing and highly durable, making it perfect for use in historic cars as well as classic vehicles. It is also suitable for boats used for recreational purposes due to its reliable construction.

Competition-Use Fixed Bucket Seats Exclusively Designed For Elise, Exige, Beat, and Cappuccino

• The ZODIA seat is a fixed bucket style chair that has been specifically designed for sports cars with very limited interior space, such as the Lotus Elise, Lots Exige, Honda Beat and Suzuki Cappuccino. It‘s intended to be used in competitive driving events.
• This design has been optimized for a small form factor, allowing it to fit in even the tightest of spaces
• BRIDE‘s patented “LOWMAX System“ allows for the lowest possible seat position in tight spaces, such as those found on sports and race cars. This system works by having a large egg–shaped concave depression at the back of each seat shell that matches up with rails which are then secured to it. Not only does this make installation simpler but also increases both twisting strength and rigidity strength significantly.

The Original LOWMAX System and Specialized ZODIA Shell Shape

• The ZODIA, designed in response to the needs of Lotus Elise and Exige owners, offers a much improved level of grip as well as an extra–low seating position compared to standard seats
