The Next Level Racing ES1 HYPERCOOL is a bucket-style sim racing seat with dual-fan active cooling and a 250 kg capacity, compatible with GT, hybrid and Formula positions, designed for drivers who want to stay cool over long sessions.
An evolution of the established ES1 seat, it adds an integrated dual centrifugal fan cooling system that drives air through the breathable SIMAERO Mesh fabric toward the key heat zones. The thermal management is built into a rotationally moulded LLDPE shell that delivers the structural rigidity needed for load cell braking and long-term durability.
Key features
- Dual-fan active cooling: two centrifugal fan motors drive a high-speed airflow through the SIMAERO Mesh fabric toward the key heat zones.
- Infinitely variable fan speed: real-time control via a premium metal-finish potentiometer dial, without breaking concentration.
- Rotationally moulded LLDPE shell: structural rigidity for precise load cell inputs and aggressive braking, without the flex of generic seat solutions.
- Premium breathable surface: PU moulded foam and SIMAERO Mesh fabric that actively breathes thanks to the integrated ventilation system.
- Overmoulded brass inserts: allow Buttkicker, seat belt and seat slider configurations to be mounted.
- Formula and GT ready: GT position straight out of the box; hybrid and Formula positions with the universal seat brackets (sold separately).
- High capacity: supports up to 250 kg (551 lb) and up to a 42″ waist.
