Simpson Hybrid Pro Lite Carbon FHR Device

The Simpson Hybrid Pro Lite represents the absolute pinnacle of professional-grade head and neck safety. Forged from an ultra-lightweight, high-modulus carbon fibre matrix, this premier frontal head restraint (FHR) is engineered for elite competitors who refuse to compromise between weight reduction and structural defense. It is significantly lighter than composite alternatives, yet delivers massively superior material strength and impact energy dissipation under extreme deceleration forces.

As the only FIA-approved alternative to a traditional, rigid HANS yoke, the Hybrid Pro Lite utilizes a low-profile chassis and an independent torso-strap architecture. Because it anchors directly to your body rather than resting heavily on your collarbone, it is not dependent on tight safety harnesses to stay perfectly in position. This provides uncompromised safety during vehicle entry, cockpit navigation, and emergency egress—eliminating the risk of the device catching or hooking onto aggressive seat bolsters or roll cage bars. Its clever, highly adaptable geometry contours naturally to 90% of all motorsport seating angles, making it equally at home in upright rally cars, GT cockpits, or reclined sports prototypes.

Key Features:

• Premium Carbon Fibre Construction: Manufactured from elite carbon weave to cut weight to an absolute minimum while drastically raising structural shell rigidity.
• The Ultimate HANS Alternative: Elite body-strap configuration that lifts heavy loading off your chest and collarbones, giving you unprecedented physical freedom inside the car.
• Ultra-Low Profile Geometry: Designed specifically to be the lowest profile FHR on the market, preventing cockpit snags and allowing rapid, restriction-free emergency exits.
• Universal Cockpit Adaptation: Sculpted frame geometry naturally accommodates 90% of racing seats, eliminating the need to buy separate device angles for different cars.
• Standard HANS Tether Configuration: Ships as standard with heavy-duty sliding tethers ready to secure onto factory-installed helmet HANS posts.
• Dual Global Safety Homologation: Fully certified to international FIA 8858 and SFI 38.1 safety directives for immediate use in all national and international logbook championships.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

• Can I upgrade this device to a quick-release setup later on? Yes, absolutely. While the Pro Lite ships as standard with classic sliding HANS tethers, it is fully compatible with Simpson's quick-release upgrade kits. You can purchase Simpson Quick Release Sliding Tethers and matching M61 Helmet Anchors separately at any point to switch over to an instant, cord-pull disconnect system.
• Why should I choose the Carbon Pro Lite over the composite Hybrid Sport? The Pro Lite is crafted from pure carbon fibre, making it noticeably lighter on your shoulders and substantially stronger under peak impact loads. If you are racing in long-distance endurance events, high-G track classes, or tight weight-restricted categories where reducing driver fatigue and cabin ounces is critical, the Pro Lite is the premium choice.
• Does this carbon device require a specific type of harness belt? No. The structural shoulder channels on the carbon frame are optimized to securely capture and guide standard 3-inch harness belts as well as modern, HANS-specific 2-inch shoulder straps, keeping your harness perfectly centered during an accident.
