Playseat® Trophy Black is the answer for racers who want all-day comfort without compromising performance. With a frameless structure that adapts to your body and full adjustability across every mounting point, this cockpit bridges the gap between minimalist design and rigid support. The ActiFit™ breathable fabric keeps you cool when the race heats up, and the lightweight frame makes it easy to store. It’s versatile, sleek, and ready to evolve with your rig as your racing demands grow.
What Sets the Playseat® Trophy Black apart?
-
Frameless Comfort with Locked-in Stability Most cockpits force you to choose between comfort and rigidity. The Trophy’s frameless seating design conforms naturally to your shape while remaining absolutely planted through bolted adjustments. The backrest reclines independently, and the tension can be tuned to give just the right lumbar feedback—something sorely missing in other lightweight rigs.
-
Adjustability That Actually Matters The Trophy doesn’t just offer "adjustability" as a tagline. You can raise, lower, tilt, and shift every mountable component to fit your height, leg length, or wheelbase setup. Whether you're dialing in a Formula-style posture or something closer to a road car, it’s designed to get you there with minimal effort and no flex under pressure.
-
ActiFit™ Fabric That Breathes with You A standout feature praised by long-session racers, the ActiFit™ material offers breathable support where it counts. Unlike the padded vinyl or faux leather of many rigs in this price range, this fabric stays cool, adapts to your shape, and helps prevent heat buildup in long endurance events or triple stint marathons.
-
Gearshift and Handbrake Integration Out of the box, the Trophy supports shifter and handbrake mounting—no add-ons needed. The included bracket gives solid lateral support for peripherals like the Logitech Driving Force Shifter or Fanatec's handbrake unit, so you can push hard without worrying about lateral flex or annoying wobble.

Playseat® Trophy Black Compatibility
The Playseat® Trophy Black is designed with a wide range of compatibility in mind. It supports most major wheels and pedals including Logitech G29/G923, Thrustmaster T300/T818, and Fanatec CSL/DD1/DD2. The base plates are pre-drilled and highly adjustable, so whether you're using a belt-driven setup or a more robust direct drive system, you're covered. While it handles heavy hardware well, it's best suited for DD systems under 20 Nm to ensure minimal flex at the pedal plate during aggressive braking.
In terms of gaming systems, the Trophy Black is compatible with PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, depending on your racing hardware. The seat itself doesn't restrict platform use—its role is to securely house the peripherals that connect to your game. Racers using iRacing, rFactor 2, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Gran Turismo 7, and Forza Motorsport report a consistently stable and comfortable experience, regardless of platform.
