Good vibrations

And when we say: ‘significantly better’, we mean five-times better thanks to Bcomp’s ampliTex™ flax fabric and powerRibs™ technology. Greater vibration absorption and impact resistance makes the natural fibre material well suited to use in the driver’s seat. It improves comfort and reduces vibration in the cockpit, which can have a fatiguing effect on drivers, especially over a race distance and particularly at circuits with aggressive kerbs.
