The Next Level Racing ES1 Haptic Seat combines the acclaimed ES1 bucket-style design with the proven haptic technology of the HF8 Pro, delivering a fully integrated seat built for high-performance simulation. Featuring the same eight high-torque haptic motors found in the HF8 Pro - delivering 200% more torque, 400% more power, and 60% faster motor speed - the ES1 Haptic provides detailed, real-time feedback that transforms every gear shift, curb strike, and surface change into true-to-life sensation.
Each motor is embedded directly into the seat shell, ensuring balanced, low-latency feedback without vibration loss, while the durable racing suede fabric and cold-molded foam offer long-lasting comfort and stability during endurance sessions. With side-mount compatibility for precise positioning and easy integration into professional cockpits, the ES1 Haptic combines precision, control, and immersion-defining a new standard for competitive sim racing.
Leading Features
Integrated Power and Comfort
Unlike traditional haptic pads, the ES1 Haptic integrates its eight high-torque motors directly into the bucket seat shell, delivering precise, low-latency feedback that follows every movement of the vehicle. This fully embedded design eliminates shifting or vibration loss, ensuring that every sensation - from tire slip to kerb strike - is felt exactly where it happens. The durable racing suede fabric provides superior grip and comfort, while cold-molded foam maintains firm support through long sessions. Designed for maximum body stability and endurance, the ES1 Haptic gives drivers the confidence and connection needed for competitive simulation.
Customized Haptic Control
With full support for Next Level Racing HFS Software and SimHub integration, users can fine-tune all eight feedback zones for total control over their racing experience. Adjust motor strength, response, and trigger behavior to replicate effects such as engine RPM, road texture, braking, and collisions. The HFS software runs at 75 frames per second, providing ultra-low latency and highly accurate feedback. A built-in physical controller allows quick intensity adjustments. For console use, the 3.5 mm audio input converts in-game audio into dynamic vibration feedback for racing, flight, or multimedia experiences.
Built to Integrate and Perform
The ES1 Haptic is designed for seamless integration with a wide range of professional simulator setups. Its side-mount compatibility allows precise positioning and angle adjustment with most industry-standard seat brackets, while the compact, lightweight design ensures easy installation across popular cockpits. The haptic system complements existing motion and tactile solutions, creating a unified feedback ecosystem for serious racers. With its rigid shell, ergonomic shape, and high-performance haptic technology, the ES1 Haptic delivers unmatched control, comfort, and immersion - built for the most demanding sim-racing environments.
Notes:
When using on console, haptic feedback is generated through audio-based vibration only. Individual motor control and telemetry-based effects are ONLY available on PC via HFS Software or SimHub
Cockpit & electronics accessories are not included. Seats are designed for simulators and esports, not for road use or in vehicle
