What sets the TREQ STS Seat apart?
-
No-Ears Design for VR Comfort The absence of side 'ears' gives the TREQ STS Seat an edge, especially for sim racers using VR headsets. This design provides more freedom of movement, ensuring you don't feel restricted by the seat when turning your head during virtual racing. It’s a small but impactful detail that can enhance your overall comfort.
-
Cooling Velour Fabric Many seats can leave you overheating after a few laps, but the STS’s velour fabric provides enhanced ventilation. This breathable material allows better airflow compared to traditional bucket seats, keeping you cooler during long races, which is especially appreciated during hot weather or under the pressure of tight races.
-
Built-in Smartphone Pouch Losing track of your phone during a race? Not anymore. The STS seat comes with a dedicated pouch to store your phone securely. It’s an understated but incredibly useful feature that prevents your phone from falling out of your pocket or getting lost under your pedals mid-race.
-
Lightweight Fiberglass Shell The TREQ STS is crafted with a lightweight fiberglass shell, which makes it easy to mount without adding unnecessary bulk to your setup. This material is durable and long-lasting, ensuring that your seat can handle the rigors of daily sim racing sessions while still being easy to maneuver when setting up or adjusting your rig.

TREQ STS Seat Compatibility
The TREQ STS Seat is built for sim racing setups and requires seat brackets for proper mounting, which are sold separately. An optional seat slider can also be used to adjust the seat position, adding another layer of customization to your setup. With its wide design, the seat fits most sim rigs, though it's worth noting that it might feel oversized in more compact rigs. Measuring your rig and ensuring bracket compatibility is crucial before purchasing.
Since the STS seat is **non-FIA homologated**, it’s not suitable for real-world racing, focusing purely on the sim racing experience. Its lack of racing safety features makes it a better fit for dedicated sim racers who want comfort without the need for harness slots or real-world regulations. Be sure to check that your rig has the correct **bracket spacing** to accommodate the seat.
The TREQ STS seat does not directly connect to gaming platforms or consoles, but it pairs well with **PC-based racing simulators** like iRacing, Assetto Corsa, and rFactor 2. It also works with most rigs designed for these platforms, but it’s important to verify that your rig can handle the **wide seat base** and mounting points for a proper fit.
