The Momo Daytona Evo XL (SERDAYTEVOXLL) is the extended-height, comfort-enhanced version of the Daytona Evo, sized for drivers over 6ft with a 32 to 36-inch waist. Full FIA 8855-1999 homologation, valid for five years from the date of purchase.
Three details set the Evo apart from the standard Daytona. Kinder Point inserts are positioned at the pressure contact zones to reduce localised discomfort over longer events. Removable double leg cushions allow lower body support to be adjusted without tools. Comfort pads are fitted at the back bolsters, where the standard Daytona uses bare Airnet fabric. The Airnet technical material on the Daytona Evo covers both the seating area and the shoulder sections; on the standard Daytona the Airnet covers the back only.
The shell is fibreglass. Side mount and base mount fixing are both supported. Five harness openings for 4 and 6-point belts. Lateral head support provided by the upper shoulder bolsters. Weight is 9.9kg for the XL. Black only, sold as a single seat without brackets.
The Daytona XL (SERDAYTONAXLL) is the comparison: the same XL shell with the same FIA approval and head support, but without the Kinder Point inserts, leg cushions or extended Airnet seating coverage. Our showroom team can advise on fit between the two models. Drop us an email or open a chat and we can help, or confirm a lead time if the seat is not currently showing available.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers over 6ft in height with a 32in to 36in waist. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in and climb out of is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us with your height and waist and we will give you the honest answer.
Is it FIA approved, and for how long?
Yes, it carries FIA 8855-1999 homologation. Every FIA seat has a not-valid-after year printed on its homologation label, and that label date is what a scrutineer checks, so look at the label on the seat you receive and check it against your championship regulations. Buying new means you get the freshest label the maker currently produces.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
This seat takes both base and side mounting, so the fitting stack depends on which route you pick for your car. You will need the car-specific frame, and a sliding runner if you want fore-and-aft adjustment. Our guide on base mount versus side mount walks through the whole stack, and tell us your car and we will quote the full kit.
Does it work with harnesses and a HANS device?
The shell takes 4 point compatible and 6 point compatible. If you are planning the full seat, harness, and HANS setup, tell us the car and we will spec it end to end.
How do I know it will feel right, not just fit on paper?
Fair question, because makers publish widths and weights, never feel, and two seats with identical numbers can feel nothing alike in the car. We keep the ranges on display in the Nottingham showroom, you are welcome to come and sit in them, and if you cannot get to us, call and describe your build, as the team sit in these seats every day. Our head support measurements guide shows the kind of real-world data we collect.
