Seat sliders Optional, sold separately Compatibility TR160, TR120, TR80, TR8 PRO and other T-slot cockpits Approx. assembly time 15–20 minutes Why Dual Recline Matters Most reclining seats lock the backrest from one side only. This Trak Racer seat uses dual locking recliner assemblies to support the backrest from both sides, eliminating side-to-side flex during sustained control inputs and long-haul flight sessions. Eliminates Side-to-Side Flex Locking the backrest from both sides removes the twisting and rocking felt in conventional single-sided recliner mechanisms. Higher Torsional Rigidity Load is supported across two recliner assemblies, creating a stronger connection between the seat base and backrest. Better Suited to High-Torque Hardware Well suited to HOTAS setups, high-torque direct drive wheelbases and control loading systems used in advanced flight simulation. Rigidity Factor Single-Sided Recliner Dual Recliner (This Seat) Recline lock points One side only Both sides Frame twist under sustained control input More noticeable, especially with HOTAS and high-torque hardware Reduced — load shared across both adjusters Creaking over time Common as the single adjuster wears Minimised — even wear across both mechanisms Recline adjustability Yes Yes — with added strength Comparison reflects typical single-sided recliner mechanisms versus this seat's dual-sided design and is intended as a general guide to construction differences. Durable PU Leather & Suede Finish Wear-Resistant Coating Designed for repeated entry, exit and long simulator sessions. UV-Resistant Surface Helps maintain the upholstery's appearance in bright rooms and commercial training environments. Easy-Clean Coating The smooth coated surface can be wiped clean, practical for home simulators and training centres. Reinforced Double Stitching Double stitched using high-strength nylon thread, with reinforced wear areas for improved durability.
