BRIDE Zieg III Type-R
ZIEGIII type-R
SThe final form of the ZEIG series, which has been tempered by SUPER GT contestants. An active model using the LOWMAX System, which realizes the maximum low position
The ZEIG III type-R, which could be called the final form of the ZEIG series, has been designed and developed through experience in SUPER GT. It is designed to firmly hold the driver even when cornering at high speeds, and to envelop more deeply than any BRIDE model to allow for reliable driving operation. The design of the shoulder support and waist region support focuses more on hold performance than ease of boarding/exiting.
By positioning the seat rail in structure and deepening backrest shape with the patented BRIDE’s LOWMAX system technology, we achieve the maximum low position in cars with limited interior space/head clearance as well as the ideal driving position.
The shell is available in 3 materials, carbon aramid, super aramid black, and FRP silver. Another feature of ZIEG III type-R is its abundant color variations, namely gradation logo, black logo, black, red, and blue.
The ZIEG III type-R is a FIA-compliant model.
This is a comparison diagram for the ZEIG III and ZEIG III type-R shapes.
The gray line is the standard shape ZEIG III, while the red line is the ZEIG III type-R. The ZEIG III type-R has a shell shape which increases holdability.
ZIEG series
A deep hold shape perfect for circuit driving
The ZIEG design is a deep hold shape that more deeply envelops the driver to support strong lateral G when driving at high speeds such as on circuits. ZIEG type-R is the ultimate model of BRIDE's fixed bucket seats, designed based on feedback by SUPER GT contestants and tempered on circuits
For safety.
Made in Japan.
BRIDE produces all its seats and seat rail products, which are closest to the driver and also protect the driver's body in the case of an accident, domestically in Japan. BRIDE's seats are ASEA-approved products which have cleared the standards of ASEA, the industry organization whose members comprise motorsports companies and related tuning parts manufacture and sales companies which represent Japan, and are models which conform to vehicle inspections and have cleared rigorous safety benchmarks. The safety benchmark comprises 6 items--"seat back rear surface crash test", "head restraint forward crash test", "head restraint static test", "seat and seat mounting test", "seat belt mounting test", and "flame resistance test"--in which a great amount of force is applied to the seats assuming an accident to check whether the seats are damaged and whether they can be maintained for the regulated time, and to confirm the safety of the seats.
Also, BRIDE's seats are the first seats produced in Japan to be licensed by FIA, and we provide 9 models which can be used in international races. In order to maintain and improve product quality to pass safety benchmarks and strict FIA strength tests, BRIDE conducts thorough management of its manufacturing process.
