Simpson Hybrid Quick Release Sliding Tether Kit

The Simpson Hybrid Quick Release Sliding Tether Kit is a professional cockpit safety upgrade engineered to bring instant, effortless detachment to your head and neck restraint system. Designed as a direct, bolt-on replacement for the standard, fixed-loop HANS tethers supplied with all Simpson Hybrid models, this high-strength assembly eliminates the awkward wrestling matches usually required to free your helmet inside a cramped racing seat.

When combined with Simpson M61 quick-release helmet posts, this sliding tether layout allows you to instantly sever the connection between your helmet and your body harness with a quick pull of the post’s integrated cord. The fluid "sliding" design allows the durable tether strap to glide smoothly through the rear channels of your Hybrid device, guaranteeing uncompromised side-to-side head rotation, maximum peripheral vision when hunting for the apex, and zero binding or resistance when looking down the circuit lanes. It is the definitive setup for fast paced rally environments, endurance driver changes, and solo mechanical adjustments in the staging lanes.

Key Features:

• Effortless Cockpit Disconnection: Upgrades your Hybrid device to a true quick-release configuration, completely removing the hassle of sliding rigid metal plates off standard posts.
• Fluid Sliding Geometry: Engineered on a low-friction tracking strap to provide a superb lateral range of motion, letting you check your mirrors and turn your head effortlessly.
• Direct Factory Replacement: Designed to bolt smoothly directly onto all existing Simpson Hybrid FHR devices, quickly replacing standard-issue fixed HANS tethers.
• High-Tensile Webb Material: Forged from ultra-durable, competition-grade safety webbing optimized to manage extreme energy dissipation without tearing or stretching.
• Modern Safety Standard Ready: Fully certified for competitive use when matched with modern homologated helmets fitting FIA 8858-2010 / Snell SA2010 or any newer safety directive.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

• Can I use these tethers with the standard HANS posts that came on my helmet No. These specialized quick-release tethers feature a dedicated mechanical lock profile and must be used in conjunction with Simpson QR Helmet Posts (such as the M61 series). They will not lock onto or engage with standard, fixed-metal slide-slot HANS posts.
• Is it difficult to change my standard tethers over to this sliding QR version Not at all. The swap is straightforward and can be carried out in the service park or paddock. You simply unbolt the current fixed tether loop from the rear anchoring points on your Hybrid frame, loop the new sliding tether through the integrated guide channels, and torque the premium mounting hardware back down to factory spec.
• Does this upgrade affect the safety rating of my FHR device No, it does not. This is a genuine Simpson factory upgrade component manufactured to the identical rigorous performance metrics as their stock tethers. When fitted correctly to an approved Hybrid device and paired with certified M61 anchors, your safety restraint maintains its full, uncompromised safety compliance.
