The T5 kart seat is a World Championship winning product, used by Lando Norris.

The T5 shape is now days predominantly used by younger or smaller drivers.

This model has a flat bottom and a more upright back position. The 63° back angle allows a powerful shoulder turn, which helps the very young racers.

With the T5 model, Tillett created the first ever “flat bottom” style seat. This innovation was eventually replicated by many other brands, as the iconic design feature gives a favourable performance advantage.

The T5 range offer four rigidities. T5VG is between the T5t and the softest rigidity T5VTi. See rigidity chart below for a better understanding.
