Full Pilot Seat Set Including Shock Mitigating Pedestal & Upholstered Seat – Includes Watertight Under-Seat Storage
The RIB04 Suspension Pilot Seat is a premium shock mitigating seating system designed to provide outstanding comfort, safety and durability for both commercial and leisure boats. Combining an advanced suspension pedestal, ergonomic jockey-style seat and integrated watertight storage, the RIB04 is the ideal solution for high-speed marine applications where operator comfort and protection are essential.
Built around the proven MPS suspension base, the RIB04 features a convenient front-mounted adjustment control, allowing users to quickly fine-tune the suspension to suit their weight. The infinitely adjustable spring rate accommodates users between 60kg and 130kg+, while the progressive suspension system prevents bottoming out, even in demanding sea conditions.
Developed in collaboration with world-renowned suspension specialists Kayaba and Öhlins, the shock absorber system has been endurance tested to simulate 500 hours of heavy-duty boating (+6G) per year for over 30 years, delivering exceptional long-term reliability and performance.
The suspension pedestal is topped with a comfortable jockey-style pilot seat, upholstered in premium black marine-grade vinyl for durability, weather resistance and easy maintenance. Beneath the pedestal is an integrated 30-litre watertight storage compartment, providing valuable dry storage without compromising deck space.
Certified to ABYC H-31 Type AO standards, the RIB04 is suitable for RIBs, rescue boats, patrol boats, workboats, military craft and high-performance leisure vessels operating at speeds of up to 50 knots.
