When the Ribtect seat was designed, there were 3 things in mind:
To Prevent Rib Injury
The Ribtect Seat is designed to reduce the amount of rib injuries to karters. Thus, keeping more people involved and happy with the great sport of karting.
To Improve Performance
The Ribtect seat helps the chassis and driver to work better. Keeping the kart rolling free and providing a better launch out of the turns. Connecting more of the kart to the driver for a better feel of the chassis. Lowering the fatigue level of the driver, allowing for better concentration and improved consistency and lower lap times.
To Use The Best Materials
We designed the Ribtect Seat with the best materials possible. With a shiny carbon fiber finish, the seat looks nice and is extremely durable.
