With Ben’s recent post showcasing the ASM Recaro SP-X CL100, I thought this would be a good time to publish this post.

These Tecnocraft T1 seats are a measly 6 lbs. It can be hard to put 6 lbs into perspective but that’s less than a gallon of water which weighs in at about 8 lbs. These seats retail for $2,699 each, which I thought were crazy until I read the price tag for the ASM Recaro. I guess these are pretty cheap compared to the ASM Recaro, which costs a few times more.

The reason why I am posting this is not to say that these seats are superior, but rather a compare and contrast between 2 products. The ASM Recaro and the Tecnocraft T1 are both constructed out of pre-preg dry carbon and are made to be the best of the best. Enough though the ASM Recaro is more expensive, it is not without justifications. The Tecnocraft T1 is more simple in construction. The overall contour is smooth, and there are not many sharp edges. It is also not relinable. The ASM Recaro is more complex in design with sharp turns and different levels of reliefs. It is also reclinable. A combination of leather and alcantara are used to create not only an incredible seat, but an amazing piece of craftsmanship and artwork.
