Something the installation manual doesn't include until the end of the book is that you have to turn the latches and tighten them before you sit in the chair. I didn't realize that they had to be turned and locked in place and so when I sat down in the chair the first time it completely collapsed on me. I thought I must have been too fat for the chair but after I adjusted the latch and tightened up everything it held the frame firmly and hasn't collapsed again.
The chair set can be folded up although it is difficult right now with all my gear bolted onto it. If I wanted to travel with it I would have to detach everything and that would be a pain at this point.
I really like this setup and for $60 a month it is certainly affordable for me.
Assembly is kind of a pain and there's a lot of forcing things to go where they should but once it's all set up, it's very sturdy. As for the folding, it kind of folds away. It's been impossible for me to get it folded away like you see in the pictures on here and on the box, but I've gotten it pretty close. The only problem is that it isn't something that you will pull out, use for a few hours, and then put away because it's too much of a hassle to fold it up into anything compact. Took me like 15 minutes to get it folded into a decent size so I mostly leave it out and fold it away when I know I'm gonna need some more space.
As for comfort, it's great for the first couple of hours but since it's more of a hammock and less of a chair, the rounded part where the seat meats the backrest gets very uncomfortable on the tailbone. I guess it's kind of a good reminder to get up and do something else, but it isn't ideal and that's why I took off a star. The folding issues aren't really issues, just inconveniences, but the comfort is an issue IMO
If you have a wheel you're eventually going to want to get a chair like this for $300 ish Cdn dollars - to see if you actually like racing games. This one does the job well. Comfortable - I'm just under 6 feet and I way about 230 so I'm pretty tubby. Happy racing and get out of my way if I'm coming up from behind you!!!
It's good once it's built, quite large and wide so it's not the easiest thing to lug around, but it's totally doable.
The benefit of the size is that it's comfy in terms of width, but it's not a good setup for long sessions - maybe add some padding or something.
Good for starters though

While this cockpit does offer a certain level of adjustability, it is fairly limited. Seat angle and steering wheel height are non-adjustable, but the way it comes, seems to mostly do okay for me.
My biggest gripe, is that the seat itself is nothing more than a butt hammock with zero support for your lower back. The way the material curves under you and suspends between the rails will put quite the curve into your lower back, and any session over 40 minutes results in a numb bum due to the pressure of the material pushing against your tail.
For the price paid, I actually did not expect much more, and the size footprint when folded for storage is a huge plus, and is also the main reason why I'd purchased this. I did hope the steering wheel platform did have a bit more stability to it, as the thin rails can flex the entire chassis under very spirited driving. A cable management system would have been nice as well. Overall, it's not perfect, but for what it is and the price, it's "good enough".

Facile da montare, in circa un'ora sei pronto per l'utilizzo. Regolabile in varie misure, seduta molto comoda, e materiale resistente.
Molto consigliata!
If you've got the Logitech shifter, it doesn't REALLY fit that well because the folding hub is in the way of the shifter mounting point. Some other shifters probably fit better, but I was able to mount my logitech with a single bolt and the clamps keep it in place. Not an issue, just seems like an oversight.
The hubs are really easy to use but they do make folding the chair a bit more difficult than I'd like. Next Level Racing offers a video instructional on how to fold the seat, but they don't fold it the same way as it's folded on the marketing, which is strange. It DOES fold up nearly flat with the wheel and pedals mounted, but it is awkward. Again, it's not a major issue because it does work, but its confusing that they would photograph it folded a certain way and then give instructions to fold it in a different way that makes it less compact.
Wire management is lacking, but I'm not sure there's much to do differently. I used small velcro straps.
TL;DR - this is a FOLDING chair so there are going to be compromises made. It will never be as good as a stationary setup, but this is the BEST product for anyone who doesn't have enough space to devote to a permanent solution. Compared to 'other' folding chairs, this is an amazing value.
Some suggestions for the manufacturer:
A lumbar pillow would make a great accessory, I find that I am much more comfortable with a pillow, this could just be a personal preference but the option of adding a matching pillow would've been great.
Would LOVE to have a nylon drawstring bag to slide over the seat when it is folded up. The included strap helps keep it from coming unfolded but a drawstring bag would be a cleaner way to store this when not in use.
Pros:
1.) Mostly already pre-built out of the box
2.) Quick set up time. (10-20 minutes-ish).
3.) Seating angle and height are adjustable (not a huge amount, but should be enough to get your comfy racing position sorted).
4.) Front arm bar (for steering wheel attachment) swings forward so you can enter and exit easily.
5.) Easily collapsable, takes up very little room. I have really quite a small room so this is perfect.
6.) It looks awesome (in my opinion).
7.) There are plenty of quality features: Strong/neat stitching, breathable mesh for your back area, two cushion like 'bumps' either side of rib cage area to gently keep you in the middle, the branding and colours give a presence.
8.) Foot pedals can be moved forwards or backwards very easily with quick release bolts.
9.) Foot pedal frame can be easily swapped from angled position or flat on the ground.
10.) Affordable price tag for what you get.
11.) A well thought out logical design.
Cons:
1.) The seat is essentially like a suade/leather type material, so there is no cushioning. This starts to become uncomfortable during an extreme session, maybe after about an hour or so this happens. I put a weighted blanket over the whole chair (if needed after an hour) and it is considerably more comfortable without interfering with my racing.
2.) Watch out for the (red) clip that clamps the front arm bar (for the steering wheel) as the edge is quite sharp, so be extra careful entering and exiting.
3.) The plate that the steering wheel screws onto has a knob that is tightened when you have the correct wheel position. What I found is because the clamp is on a single bar, the plate/wheel can slip downwards around that bar. To remedy this; each time I used the rig, that knob, I just gave that extra bit of muscle, tightening very slightly each time, to a point that I could feel it wasn't going anywhere anymore, no problems with this anymore so far. If you are super strong, make sure not to go overly aggressive as it could potentially break or bend.
Some bonus tips if you decide to get one. And also if you managed to read this far:
1.) DO NOT over tighten the nuts/bolts, it WILL bend the tubes. All the nuts are nylon lock-nuts, so once they are tightened, they won't work loose.
2.) Don't lift or move the rig with the steering wheel. Grab a solid part of the frame.
3.) The foot pedal frame swings up into a storage position. This can slam down on the floor, so mind those toes!
4) It can be a bit awkward adjusting all the various positions, the first time I managed to collapse the whole rig in on itself. A second pair of hands makes it much easier (and safer).
5.) I cannot comment on the manual gear shifter attachment as I do not use it. However, from what I've heard, it does do the job well but can wobble a small amount (from what I've seen from video reviews).
What racing wheel/pedals do I use?
I use the Thrustmaster T300RS, completely stock with no extras or modifications. It all fits perfectly with this racing rig, no problem.
Have I previously owned a steering wheel or racing rig?
No this is my first one and I'm very happy with it.
How tall am I?
About 5 foot 11 inches (but I have short-ish legs).
Hope this helps a little bit in making the right choice for you.
