Two black Corbeau Revenge X System 1 XL FIA bucket seats, 1330 for the pair. Fibreglass, fixed back, side mount, head support, four or six point harness compatible, FIA 8855-1999, 36 to 40 inch waist, driver under six feet.
The Revenge X in a pair
Lateral head support, a deep shell, and the wide XL section for 36 to 40 inch waists. The standard width pair is 1290 and suits 32 to 36. The Revolution XL pair is the same 1330 with a different shell shape, and choosing between the two is a matter of sitting in them.
Harnesses
Listed as four and six point compatible. If you intend to run a head and neck restraint, use the six point, since a HANS needs at least five points and the four point will not do it.
Pair pricing
The single black Revenge X System 1 XL is 670, so the pair is two singles less ten pounds. Coloured shells cost more and are made to order.
The rest
System 1 is the fibreglass shell; the Kevlar System 3 is lighter at more money. FIA 8855-1999 with the expiry on each seat’s own label. Side mount, so mounts and frames are separate. Tell us the car.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Which Is Right For You? Corbeau Revenge VS Revolution, and Corbeau Revenge VS Cobra Sebring. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers under 6ft in height with a 36in to 40in 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 is a side-mount seat: it hangs between side brackets, the motorsport-style stack with fine height and angle control. 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.
