What has changed for 2025
The Safety Devices Lotus cages we list are bolt in cages made for specific Lotus models. For 2025 we have been through every one of them:
- Configurable options. Colour, cage configuration and door bars can now be selected on each full cage listing, and the price updates as you go.
- Clearer information. Each listing sets out its approval, the exact vehicle models it fits, and the price.
- Rear cages listed separately. Every Lotus full cage now has a rear cage version of its own.
The rear cages come in a fixed design, so there are no front cage or door bar options to choose. You pick the correct model and that is it.
The range covers the Elise S1, the Elise S2 with the K Series and Toyota engines, the Exige S2 and the Exige S V6. The listings are specific about engine and generation, because the cages are different.
On the Elise and Exige S2 full cages, for example, the front cage mounts to the sills and the rear cage replaces the original roll hoop, with a cross diagonal and harness bar. The existing seat belt arrangement can be kept.
Approvals and regulations
Each listing now shows the approval for that cage, so check it before you order and compare it against the regulations for the event you are entering. The rules differ between championships, and the scrutineer has the final say.
- FIA. The FIA sets the safety standards for international motorsport. International and professional series ask for cages that meet FIA rules.
- Motorsport UK. Formerly the MSA, Motorsport UK sets the rules for UK events, closely aligned with the FIA’s.
- Track days. Track days are not run to the same cage rules as racing, so a cage without full certification can still be used there; check with the organiser.
If you are unsure what your class needs, send us the championship name and we will help you check.
Full cages and rear cages
Full cages protect the whole cockpit. The range includes the Lotus Elise S1 and S2 6 point cages, the Elise S2 (Toyota engine) and Exige S2 cage, and the Exige S V6 6 point bolt in cage. The front cages come with a single roof diagonal or a roof cross; Safety Devices note that the roof cross may not suit taller drivers because of head clearance.
Rear cages reinforce the rear of the cockpit and replace the original roll hoop. There are rear versions for the Elise S1, the Elise S2, the Exige S2 and the Exige S V6.
You can see them all in our Safety Devices Lotus roll cages section.

Have it fitted professionally
Bolt in does not mean simple. The Lotus cages need trim and bodywork changes, and on the Elise and Exige S2 full cages the rear screen has to be replaced with a Lexan sheet. Safety Devices describe them as not a DIY fit.
A cage that is not fitted properly can fail to protect as it should and may not pass scrutineering, so Garreth’s advice is to plan for a professional installer from the start, and to allow for it in the budget.
Which Lotus models do the Safety Devices cages fit?
The range covers the Elise S1, Elise S2 (K Series and Toyota engines), Exige S2 and Exige S V6.
Is there a rear cage only option for my Lotus?
Yes. From the 2025 update, every Lotus full cage in our range has a rear cage version listed separately.
Are the Safety Devices Lotus cages a DIY fit?
No. They need trim and bodywork changes, and Safety Devices describe them as not a DIY fit.
Which approval do I need for my cage?
It depends on your championship. Check the approval on the listing against your class regulations.
