The Daytona Evo adds three things to the standard Daytona shell: removable double leg cushions that clip to the lower bolsters, Kinder Point inserts built into all the main contact zones, and broader Airnet coverage that extends across the seating surface and both shoulder panels as well as the back. The fibreglass shell, head support bolsters, five harness openings, HANS cut-outs, side-mount fixings and FIA 8855-1999 approval all carry over from the standard Daytona. Part code is SERDAYTEVOBKL.
Kinder Point is MOMO’s term for the softer load-distribution zones at the points where the harness and bolster structure press against the driver. On a plain seat those loads land on the harder shell material. On a longer event, the difference in comfort is significant, particularly at the shoulder and hip contact areas where a five-point harness concentrates force.
The leg cushions are removable. Drivers who prefer closer contact with the shell for feedback can take them out and put them back for endurance work. The standard Daytona does not offer this option.
Airnet on both shoulder areas as well as the seating surface means more ventilated contact area against the back of a race suit. In a sealed cockpit this reduces heat build-up compared with a seat that has Airnet only on the back panel.
The Evo weighs 9.5 kg in standard form, the same as the standard Daytona. FIA 8855-1999 approval applies. Side mount only. For the taller back of the XXL shell with the same Evo features, the Daytona Evo XXL (SERDAYTEVOXXL) is available.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Momo Daytona & Daytona Evo Arrive In-Store. 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 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 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.
