RECARO Podium CF Carbon Bucket Seat (FIA & ABE)

The RECARO Podium CF is a full shell made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic. According to the manufacturer, it is the only aftermarket shell available on the market that has both road approval and FIA homologation. The seat shell is AGR-certified.

Size M or L

Both sizes use the same shell. The only differences are the cushion pads, and thus the usable seat width.

• Size M: Pads with approx. 20 mm foam thickness, seat width in the hip area 358 mm. For medium-sized drivers.
• Size L: Pads with approx. 10 mm foam thickness, seat width in the hip area 378 mm. For larger drivers.

Because the M-pads are thicker, size M weighs slightly more than size L. Dimensions are each plus or minus 10 mm.

Driver's side and passenger's side

The Podium is manufactured side-specific. Driver's side and passenger's side are two different items with their own part numbers. For a complete set, both are required. You select the side directly on the item above.
