Why Choose the Pole Position ABE
The ABE version of the Pole Position is ideal for drivers who want track-level support without committing to a full FIA race seat. The fixed shell prevents flex under high cornering loads, improving driver feedback and consistency, while the ergonomic profile remains comfortable enough for extended road use.
This makes it a popular choice for BMW M-cars, Porsche track builds, and high-performance road cars where driver control and seating position are critical.
