Next Level Racing GT Lite Foldable Simulator Cockpit (NLR-S021)

The coolest, funnest, and realistic gaming toy I’ve ever experienced. It’s like driving fast sports cars and more. My son bought this for me, yes me, grandpa! I stopped playing video games many decades ago. I’m very active for a senior, so my sons encouraged me to play games and enjoy life live life while you can, lol! So I did it, I made myself play gaming again and I love it. I play about once a day for an hour and it is FUN! The system is made high quality great views, and a reasonable price. Very easy to operate and I’m big, I fit in the seat perfectly it adjustable for us bigger old guys. It came wrapped up tight in boxes. Delivered in less than a week by far!!!.

This is the best folding racing chair, period. Super solid construction, no wobble when you're using it, it's easy to get in and out of, and is fairly customizable to fit players of many different sizes.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.

This seat is surprisingly rigid and solid when built properly and surprisingly easy to adjust/fold away for storage (with wheel, pedals, shifter etc. attached!). I thought this would be a major convenience and space saver, but this is my first racing sim seat - in reality, if you have the space and interest in a sim seat setup, you should basically assume that it will be a dedicated piece of furniture. Once folded you might be able to store it in a closet, but you won't necessarily stack anything on top of it, for example, and the sq. footage/footprint is still basically the same minus the little part holding the pedals. Unless you unbolted all the accessories and the wheel, etc. it won't be something you slide in a cubby type space etc. and removing all of that's only a few steps removed from completely disassembling the thing.So all in all, it's absolutely great and I love it. It does exactly as advertised and is solid. However, now that I know what's detailed above I may have just invested more in a completely solid setup from Next Level Racing - the caveat to that however, is this model is much cheaper! So I'm not upset in that regard, just keep in mind that it is barely any more 'stowable' than a completely rigid/solid setup.NOTE: My bag of screws came with a tiny tear allowing all the small screws to roll around inside the box - thankfully I checked before freaking out and calling support! The larger bolts were still in the bag so I really thought I was going crazy looking at the very clear and accurate instructions. Something to keep in mind for any buyers as well as the manufacturer!

This setup is great for anybody who wants to get a little more serious with sim racing, I have probably about 100 hours in the seat with multiple games and I don’t have many complaints! I’m 6 feet tall and it is slightly cramped for my legs even on the farthest settings but it never gets uncomfortable. This thing is great build quality and I haven’t noticed much flexing besides forwards and backwards if you’re to pull or push on the wheel with some force but nothing left to right. I’d like to see some backrest adjustability as it’s a little too far leaned back for my taste but my fix is putting a pillow between me and the chair and it brings me to the perfect level of lean. There are no cushions so your butt will get a little sore during long sessions but for the price point it’s definitely something I wouldn’t be concerned over.The folding aspect could be better if you keep your wheel mounted but it’s better than not being able to fold it up. I would have also liked an extension on the shifter plate for a hand brake but if you’re creative you can make it work with some heavy duty zipties LOL. All around a great racing sim for the price and Id definitely recommend to ANYBODY looking to get more serious about sim racing!Hope this helps somebody make a decision! :)

I was not expecting it to be this sturdy . I am a smaller guy but still very strong long lasting construction. Was a little worried at some of reviews saying pieces wouldn’t fit right. Mine went together perfectly. Some pieces were a little work but that’s so they fit right and won’t wobble later after years of use . I love the ability to swing wheel over and hop out anytime. Folds up nice too. Exactly what I was looking for!

so i got a lot of mixed reviews when i was looking at this an they were good an bad an i am very glad that i bought this an cant wait to buy another one for my other gaming wheels its very comfy i cld literally sit in it all day long an ask for the bad reviews i seen on this product i can only say make sure u tighten the clamping clamps cause i had my 400pnd brother in it for almost 8 hours an with him bouncing around an getting excited it never once loosened or undone it held up great an still is an the adjustment work great for taller an shorter people i can set it up perfectly for my 4ft neice an my 7ft bro inlaw great buy for sim racers

Been using NLR wheel stand lite mount for a while now, but its kinda gone out on me, so decided to treat myself to the full thing, thought the folding design concept would be great due to my limited space inside of my room. Was super excited to use it, then was super disappointed using it.First of all, putting it together is takes about an hourish if ur a bit slow like me, but i got it together, folded it up, and went on with my day. Later that night, unfolded it and started setting everything up, pedals on, wheel base sadly clamped on due to moza lol, and everything wired up. Hopped in, and the pedals were to close, so pushed them back, closed the wheel mount thing, and the wheel was way too close. Now here comes the problems, when u attempt to adjust one part, like the base mount, or shifter mount, or the chair itself, everything else decides to go along with it. I found this out rlly fast. I spent 2 hours tinkering with it, trying my very best to get it setup to be comfortable for me, and eventually just settled on something that was doable, and hopped in EA wrc, excited to beat sum pbs. Racing was good, everything was relatively sturdy, but wheel was still way too close and chair was getting uncomfortable. Did a couple stages and decided to call it a night instead of messing with the rig anymore. Got off work the next day, decided heck, ill give it another shot, maybe i can make it work.Spoiler alert, i couldnt. The design where everything is adjusted via the same "gear" area or whatever, proved to be the most annoying thing ever. Plus, due to the size of each gear, u couldnt get an accurate adjustment. So the wheel is either a foot away from ur chest, or hitting ur legs and is too far away. The seat is difficult to adjust, and in adjusting it, everything gets messed up, causing u to have to readjust everything back to how u just had it. Speaking on the seat, what the crap, the pads make no sense, they dont support anything or cushion anything, the fabric is odd, and its get uncomfortable after 30 minutes(im 6ft 200lbs, so may be the problem). Idk what the heck they were smoking in NLR, but i want some. Because this thing has got to be the worst design ive seen. I do not recommend this to anybody honestly, especially if u dont want to end up with anger management problems after a day. Im a big NLR fan, but lord have mercy gents, yall couldve done something better than this. Like seperate the gears so when u want to adjust something like the base mount or shifter mount, the entire thing doesnt want to fold in on itself. Now i plan on getting there more expensive, semi foladable victory cockpit or whatever for 299, but please dont buy this one, or the more expensive version either bc im sure it has the same problems. Now sorry for the rant, love NLR but this is not it by a long shot boys. Returned after a day of owning. Dont buy

It’s a pretty good gaming chair for the cost. Fairly comfortable in my 150# and 5’-11” height. The wheel and foot pedals I’m using attached with screws provided by the chair people, which was very nice. I didn’t like the angle that the upper back made my head/neck tip forward. There are several other reviews that say the same thing. I tried it but it’s just not comfortable for me. So I took the upper back apart and bent the frame slightly so it’s now basically straight up…much better. Frankly this is about the only change I’d request for this chair.

Aucun problème tout est parfait

Great entry level cockpit that is extremely ridged for something that folds down! I have a Logitech G923 mounted to mine and I have no issues whatsoever.. just a heap of fun!While I have no issue with product, I did have an issue with ordering the product through Amazon AU. They used DHL as the courier service and after a week my package never came. After a lot of back and forth with Amazon support, my purchase was eventually refunded and I was able to go down and get JB Hi-Fi to price match them.If you are on the fence about getting the GT Lite, don’t let me poor experience with DHL deter you from purchasing this! It is definitely worth it, but consider avoiding using Amazon.

It's a great entry level rig. The only problem is that there is no space to install a shifter and handbrake at the same time. Can be fixed with additional metal plates though.

So, if you're like me you bought a nice wheel / pedals / shifter kit and then realized how terrible it would be to play using your normal gaming chair. In short, it doesn't. At all. And I thought about making my own chair but thought about how rediculous that would be. So I decided to buy a purpose-built chair for my wheel and driving rig.I settled on the Next Level Racing GT Lite (Foldable) for one key reason: I wanted the chair to be movable. While I'd love something solid, the reality is that this chair will have to move and frequently, so the lightweight frame of the NLR-SO21 was appealing.The box arrived and it's a 2-person box or 1 person if you're reasonably strong. Hopefully you're the latter. I'm of average height, weight and strength. How about that for a guideline?Assembling this thing by yourself is akward at best. The largest struggle was screwing in the main frame. It was a struggle, and it sucked, but eventually I assembled the thing.I have the Logitech racing wheel / pedals kit and it suits the NLR-S021 just fine. I used wire ties (purchased separately) for cable management. The chair itself slides out pretty easily at a few key areas, so it's usable from people sized 6"3 down to 5" or so.It folds, too. Although truth is I don't expect to fold it much.Once you're in the thing it's comfortable enough, but here are some things to be aware of:- the seat doesn't recline. That's suboptimal, but the current recline setting is comfortable enough.- the shifter attachment doesn't properly sit my Logitech shifter for some reason. I've made it tight enough, but it's not 100% perfect. It just doesn't align with the screwholes in a way that accommodates the unit vs. the chair itself.- the seat is low and it can't be lifted to any significant degree. So if you're going to be playing at a desk, try to make sure the monitor isn't too high.Overall, I'm happy with this purchase given the price point of the alternatives. I appreciate that the NLR-S021 is light and easy to move and it's secure and comfortable for the purpose. However, the shifter - with it not sitting strong - is a structural weak point against more demading shifter games.I'd recommend this for an entry level purpose that would be used by a single user or user(s) who were of similar size. While it's easy enough to adjust to accommodate users of different sizes, chair adjustment is also not without effort.While there are other, likely more comfortable chairs out there, this one wins for my purpose: light, comfortable, affordable, structurally sound for my reasonable usage.
