rSeat Gaming Seats has presented the all new rSeat RS1.  The second generation GT rSeat is trying to set new standards when it comes to high quality Sim racing rigs.

The entire base frame itself, is made up out of epoxy powder coated bended tubing, making the entire loaded structure very rigid. rSeat experimented with the tubing metals, and diameters to ensure the chassis would be as stiff as could be without compromising the weight and looks of the design. This worked out so well, that even the arm carrying the wheel base unit does not move as with most comparable units.

The new RS1 rig weights in a bout 10kg more then its predecessor due to this redesign with rigidity in mind.  The RS1 offers better ergonomics associated with a unique look and elegant flowing lines.
It is also designed to be accommodated with a maximum amount of inhouse and aftermarket peripherals as Shifters, Joysticks, Keyboards, Mouses, Touch Pads, Button Boxes, Buttkickers, and Dynamic Motion Systems. Shifters can be mounted either left or right.

The RS1 is equipped with a new  4 mm thick support bracket that is  fully adjustable by 4 levels in angle and depth, so that there will be no frame distortion under heavy braking.
It is a real bucket seat made out of fiberglass and is covered with high density foam and synthetic leather to make it into an extremely comfortable seat. The Racing seat is sitting on 4 mm thick rails with two different mounting heights and can tilt so the seat is adjustable mm by mm. 

The optional Buttkicker support brackets are designed to deliver a good flow of vibration transmission trough the whole frame. It can accommodate seven different models of the Buttkicker and up to 3 at the same time. The rig is compatible with the D-BOX motion System. (2 DOF, 3 DOF and 4 DOF) 

The various mounting brackets on the rig are 5mm thick and supply support for the following gear.
