Description
The Simpson Racing Hybrid Sport is the premier choice for drivers who prioritize elite-level safety without the premium price tag. Specifically tailored for drivers requiring an X-Large frame, this device is crafted from a specialized DuPont carbon/polymer composite. This advanced material provides the high-tensile strength required to manage extreme G-forces while maintaining a lightweight profile that reduces driver fatigue during long sessions.
This model is equipped with the M61 Quick Release system and a Multi-Tether configuration, offering the fastest possible detachment from the helmet. With a simple pull of the release tethers, the driver is instantly disconnected, facilitating rapid vehicle egress—a critical advantage in emergency situations.
Advanced Engineering & Safety
-
SFI 38.1 Certified: Fully compliant with the rigorous safety standards required by major racing sanctioning bodies for frontal head restraints.
-
Multiple Load Paths: The internal structure is meticulously designed to dissipate head loads through several structural paths, significantly reducing the concentrated stress on the neck and spine during an impact.
-
Continuous Protection: Unlike devices that rely exclusively on seatbelt tension, the Hybrid Sport remains securely positioned against the driver, offering consistent protection through multiple impacts, flips, or rolls.
-
Seatbelt Containment: Features a sleek, modern profile with defined "wings" that act as guides, ensuring your harnesses stay properly positioned on the device throughout the race.
Ergonomics & Driver Comfort
-
Multi-Tether System: The dual-end/multi-tether setup is engineered to provide an increased range of side-to-side head movement. This allows drivers to check mirrors and apexes more naturally without compromising vertical safety.
-
Low Profile Integration: The slim, compact frame is designed to "disappear" into the racing seat. This eliminates the discomfort of bulky hardware and ensures the device won't catch on roll bars or window nets during vehicle exit.
-
DuPont Carbon/Polymer: By utilizing advanced composite technology, Simpson has achieved a balance of high durability and low weight, making it comfortable for both sprint and endurance racing.
-
Size: Adult X-Large.
Ready for Competition
-
Race Ready: The Hybrid Sport ships fully assembled and ready for the track, including the M61 post anchors and the multi-tether kit for immediate installation.
-
Superior Maneuverability: Optimized to provide the perfect balance between rigid vertical restraint and the flexibility needed for technical steering and cockpit operations.
-
Reliable Protection: The carbon-reinforced polymer frame is built to withstand the harsh vibrations and environmental stresses of the racing environment.

Care & Maintenance
To ensure the long-term integrity of your Hybrid Sport, inspect the device before every race for any signs of hairline cracks, hardware damage, or fraying tethers. Clean the composite frame with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the polymer. Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Note that SFI 38.1 devices require recertification every five years; check the manufacturing date on your SFI tag to ensure your gear remains compliant with your track or series regulations.
