Thanks for the review! I'm brand new to sim racing and keep coming back to look at this product. It's difficult not to be blown away by the choice in the market but this chair seems to be fitting the bill for me. Thanks again! 😃

Good review. I wonder if using only one stabilizing brace would work, instead of both. That would make it easier to get in/out of one side at least.

What are the dimensions as far as length and width? Height isn’t really a concern right now. Just trying to see if I can get away with squeezing this in my room as I really am trying to avoid buying a fold up lawn chair type of cockpit. Thanks

you want a F1 position but you dont want to get in the cockpit just like in F1, you just have to live with that immersion man.

what about the top headrest it looks like it is going forward by a lot.... maybe a bit too much????

I Just got this rig It is heavy. If you have to move the shipping box, get someone. There is no way you can manipulate this alone unless you start doing pivot movements or drag it on the floor and then you will damage your parts or hurt yourself. The 2024 version does not have holes in the bottom rear section. It is a slider system just like in the front whereas you can slide your crossbar in the back. The seat is heavy and a bit awkward to install. The biggest bad point of this whole rig is the fact that the headrest points too much inwards and might annoy some people if you put the seat up straight. The seat is really designed for F1 style racing.... a big disappointment, but you can save the rig buy buying seat brackets later and a new seat. The no trouble install says to buy the NLR brackets and seat so that it is easier to install and deal with but i have seen other people install different seats without too much of a fuss so the rig can be upgraded. Another sour point is that fact that the plate to install your wheel ( direct drive ) does not have a real angle forward for some reason. It will tilt back for a F style wheel deck but will not bend upwards and forwards. So if your wheel is straight like mine ( MOZA R9 ) you are S-L unless your find an angle deck which does not yet exist or you can 3d print yourself and angle deck to at least get an angle on your wheel. That is another big problem with this rig. The price is not good TBH. It is expensive and the seat should be way better than this, but since it is still available after such a long time i am assuming that it is a good seller for NLR. The whole thing feels massive and solid. The parts feel like metal as they are very heavy. It does not feel aluminium like. I could be wrong on that. The whole set up is fairly easy to assemble... 3-4 hours +- depending how slow or fast you want to go with this. Later on... Honestly to me if feels like an aluminium rig in the way of its form and adjustability. You can tweak and re-tweak this rig easily and it also has a very small footprint. If it was not for the seat i would say buy this right away and you will be all set, but i would say buy it and soon later by a kit of seat brackets for it and then start saving for a better seat. It beats the foldable cockpit bar none and with the included foots you can easily move it around and break it appart with a bit of work if you have to move to another place. It would not take you a full day like a full on aluminium profile.

Yo mate thx for the good review. Also want to purchase this rig with the same pedals I already have a fanatec wheel and wheelbase. My question is how long did it take you to build the rig and was it difficult to mount the pedals to the rig?
