Best lightweight racing bucket seat?

What's the best one out there?

Looking for overall comfort, weight, and quality.

Only ones I know of are Sparco "something" & Spoon/Vision.

How light is the Mugen?

Depends on a lot of variables. Your best bet is to actually sit in some bucket seats and try them out. BTW, I wouldn't recommend the Mugen/Spoon/Vision seat for anyone over 6 feel tall. ª¾¤£ª¾¹D!

Re: Best lightweight racing bucket seat? (One Honda)

whichever fits you best is the one you should buy. dont worry about 3-4 pounds, just take a dump. any race bucket is a healthy weight savings over stock seats, so no reason to split hairs.

Damn, rob. You took the words out of my mouth!

Buy whatever fits you the best. Take a dump if you want to save 1-3 lbs.

Re: Best lightweight racing bucket seat? ( Rob)

yeah, best is always subjective....try as many as you can, and get the one(s) that you could live thorugh an enduro in.

I prefer my Evo to just about anything on the world, if i could afford it i'd make one my office chair
