GT Omega RS6 vs RS9 Racing Seats 

How dosen’t this channel have more subs. This is one of the most informative channels on sim Racing on RU-vid. 🙂

I didn't think I'd laugh at anyone comparing seats, but Karl, you had me in stitches... :)

Holy Dolly! Everytime I search for something, 1-2 weeks later you create a video about it! Fantastic, thanks a lot. Ultra helpful video.

Found this channel recently and I feel like I’ve been binge watching every review since. Love your content!

Karl, thanks so much for this video. The only comparison I have been able to find between the two seats! I ended up getting an RS9. I was hesitant when I first put it together at the lack of side bolster and the tight shoulder area, but in racing situations it has turned out to be perfect.

Damn you're good. You keep making these perfectly esoteric videos that are exactly what the SR community is interested in learning 👏🏽 keep it up man!

Great stuff Karl. You've really been the go-to on solving questions regarding high end rigs. (comparison to p1x, the original omega pedal tray, the differences between rs6/9) thanks for everything you do.

Thanks Karl. Really appreciate your vids, you've been priceless in helping me decide on my rig. I bought the GT Omega Apex stand on your recommendation a couple of months ago and now I've gone ahead and ordered the Apex seat frame and RS9 seat, with a nice little discount as well. Very much appreciated! Keep up all the good work sir!👍👍

what a review man, so glad i found this

Hell yeah. Ordering one and choosing a seat. Honestly, I never thought Id find reviews on the seats, letalone comparisons. A very long overdue cheers my man.

Purchased the GT titan rs9 seat, thanks to your videos, very helpful man, used your code aswell!! Great info!!

Thanks for your great videos, very informative. Grabbed the Titan with RS6 after seeing your videos. They have been a great help! 🙏🏻 I love how at 10 minutes you are saying ‘this is actually quite a useful video’

Thank you Karl - again! You've helped me with Quest 2 questions and now with chairs. I'm about to buy a rig and I'm maybe going for GT Omega TITAN. You had a great review for that one!

Cheers Karl was about to purchase the rs6 but after this comparison I'm going for the rs9!

Skipped past this video when it came out. Didn't think it would be very interesting. Wrong as I could be. Don't know how but it answers questions I hadn't even thought about. Well done fella.

Another top video Karl! Just the info I was looking for. Great channel!!!!

Bless this man,i've been stressing trying to figure out what seat to get especially since i'm a bigger man

Thanks for this helpful review. I've recently bought the Apex stand and now looking to buy one of these seats. Your review has helped me decide on the 9. Great reviews and I've subscribed as a result👍

Great review as always Karl. 👍 I got the ART rig with the RS9 seat.....and with your discount, got it for the price of the RS6. Very happy with the choice. I'm 5' 10" and not a heavyweight by any stretch of the imagination and the RS9 is real comfortable for hours and hours of continuous use. ACC is my Sim of choice and it's nothing to do a hours practice, half hour of qualifying and a two hour race with no problem what so ever. Cheers from Australia mate 👍. Keep up the great work.

Thank you Karl for your detailed review. I just purchased the Prime and integrated triple monitor mounts and used your affiliate discount code for an additional 5%. Take care

Just what I needed, fantastic help!! Cheers!

thank you Karl! keep up the great content!

Great video I’ll pick up the RS9 I was only trying to pick between the 2 a few days ago ! 😁

Thank you so much for this side by side comparison Karl!!!! This really helped me decide on which seat to get after drooling over GT Omega's cockpits. Just placed my order for the Titan Cockpit with the RS9 can't wait! As a newbie to the sim world videos like this really help. Keep up the great work! P.s thanks for saving me a little $$$ 😎

I have the RS9 and being my only racing sim seat, that I've own, I like it. The only thing I probably would change, would be, to maybe add a little more padding on the backrest. I just throw a couple of pillows for my back/neck, to make it a little more comfortable for me. Also having a pillow behind my back, if I want to recline it to like 170° I don't have the bottom of the backrest digging into my lower back. Sometimes if I'm not racing or gaming, and just sitting/laying there watching RU-vid. It feels pretty comfortable for me.

Thanks for this Karl. Really useful😀

Love your reviews!. You made me laugh and get some really important information. I am going GT Omega just trying to decide which one. I have the wheel stand. So many decisions. Get the add-on to the stand. Get the Titan. Get the Prime. Thanks for your reviews.

Cheers for video helped with my choice just about to order

Thank you for this very well presented review, Karl. I'm 6ft and very skinny with a curved spine. Your review has really helped me to decide which seat to select. I've just ordered the Titan cockpit and RS6 seat combination using your affiliate link. All the best

cheers for this review karl. i just got an apex stand a few days ago, £6 off thx to your code too, and while looking i wondered about these seat options, so thx for the video i can say an rs9 will do me as im a short arse anyway

Haha the fist one too funny keep it up the good work bud.

Thx for the video✌🏻👌🏻now I can buy one🙏🏻👍🏻

Thanks Karl, great review!

Thanks. That really helped me to decide!

Super-helpful Karl thanks! Just used your discount code on an ART cockpit - thanks for that too!

Bro love the reviews. Even 2 years later these videos are helping a yankee like myself learn about and help me shop around for sim racing gear. I am really wanting to get the omega titan with that rs9 seat. Hopefully this combination is still a good buy in 2023 with the budget at max of $600 (current price of the titan with rs9).

Thanks for the video comparing the RS6 and RS9 racing seats. I am considering the GT Omega prime cockpit. I asked GT Omega and they did not respond. Makes me think twice about buying from them. Ken

thx for great video, just orded the rs9 with your code

The code on this video is good!!! Saved me 35$ on the Titan xl rs 12!!!! Thanks man

Great review thanks Karl.

Had to watch this because in Australia both seats are the same price at the moment, cheers!

Great vid.. I own a Rs9 🤛🤜 Comfy sim seat for an average built guy, my 1 main grape with the seat is the back tilt mechanism makes a loud rattling noise when my Buttkicker 2 is on.

Thanks so much for this! I really wanted to know the base length because I'm only 5'8" and I always have an issue with computer chairs having long bases. Much appreciated!

I got my rs6 yesterday and as a slimmer guy it's a perfect fit for me

I am literally sitting in that exact seat as I type haha! (The RS6) She's being looked after mate! Loving the rig still Karl!! have now lost my life in sim racing haha!!

Been waiting for a review as I just got the omega art and monitor stand but they was out of stock of seats

Great video Karl, thanks! I have been trying like crazy to decide between the GT Omega seats and honestly I am still a bit stumped. At 5' 8" and 150 lbs I am not on the big side at all so I am not really sure. Since I live in south Florida I am partial to the fabric on the RS12 but that definitely seems to be a bit bigger of a seat. I reached out to GT Omega for advice but they didn't really have any other than to point me to the website. At least this gives me more info than I had on the RS6 and 9. 😁

loved the video bro had my in stitches with the fisting 🤣 best review on cockpit chairs i have seen so far :)

very nice video bro!!!! they also have the xL rs9

I own the XL version from GT Omega, nice seat but loads of flex in the back and eventually the whole back rest bent backwards I had to manually bend it forward to where it originally was. Used it for about a year, now it sits in my shed cause I bought a NRG Prisma Large fix bucket... much better. Spend the extra $100 and get a way better seat elsewhere.

only one problem mate, cant get either seat lol been waiting for months to finish my cockpit. excellent comparison!!

Thank you

“Why do I find myself always saying stupid sht?” Absolutely Hilarious. Great review in the seats as I try and make a choice. Curious about the xl rs if anyone has tried it?

You mentioned being able to separate the ART cockpit. I've been going back and forth between the ART/Apex and was curious if that was possible with the apex as well? Also think you sold me on an rs9. I was back and forth being thin but also relatively short. Enjoy the sub for the genuine mate vibe and not someone force feeding marketing info.

I've just taken delivery of their XL seat and very happy with it, the reason I went for the XL was not because I'm a large person but because I have a disability and have trouble getting in and out of chairs and I thought it would be easier than the other two. Also thank you Karl as I used your discount link. 👍

Interesting review. I am in the middle of shopping for a GT Omega rig, and this was actually a decision I was unsure of. Your review has helped me decide which chair to get. RS6 by the looks of it.

Hey Karl, great comparison! Really appreciate the measurements. I'm still trying to decide between the two seats, I think the XL version is just too big. The issue I have is both the wife and I drive, though its mostly me. I'm 6'0, 205#, and average build. She is 5'5" medium build (can't share numbers or I'm in BIG trouble). The seat length is a big question for the two of us as she doesn't want her legs dangling like a kid, but if its too short it may not be comfortable for me. The more important question is width fit. One question I have for you is waist. You said you fit snug in the RS6. Would you mind sharing your waist and chest measurement? We don't have a motion platform and I don't have any plans to get one in the near future, so the RS9 may be fine in that regard. My issue is whether we will fit properly in the RS6 width-wise. Thanks, and subbed!

The voice crack at 3:05 😂👍🏻

I'm about to get me a GT Omega rig this Christmas. I've been an RS9-guy for quite some time but now tend towards the RS6. After your wonderful review, still can't decide really, but since the RS9 is sold-out, I don't have to XD

Ciao Karl, I don’t know if you are planning a comparison between RS9 and XL omega seat. In case I will appreciate 🙂. 👋🏻👋🏻

Hey Karl. I see in the comments you have the XL version also. I already have a XL office chair but wondering how much smaller the RS9 is compared? Looking to swop out my rSeat RS1 bucket seat for a recliner as an on the latger side and feel uncomfortable after a while in a bucket seat.

Hey Karl, i was wondering i'm going to check you other videos ive seen some of your cockpit videos but is the XL racing seat a better option for bigger guys? Like i'm pretty big shoulders wise and i've got this medical condition called fat fuckeritis a lot of these types of seats the diverts on the sides dug into my thighs and my balls would get squashed. Is there a newer chair that would be better for me?

9:25 ahhh... Those "that's what she said" jokes :)

Hi Karl! Could you measure how much travel the slider of rs9 has? Thanks a lot!

Hi Karl, I was wondering if you could mount either of these seats on a sim lab cockpit like the GT1 evo? Great video BTW

RS9 for me!

Say, after watching, it looks like the rs6 wouldn't be for me. Did you ever do the xl vs rs9?? It seems the xl has a wider seat. It gives up the nugget tray though...😄. Tough to judge the side bolsters on the xl. Great job showing those details between the 6 and 9.

Cheers Karl, tough call but the RS9 seems a better option for me

Damn I went for the RS9 and only after the seat was shipped to me (Portugal) I saw this video, now with all these measures I am regretting wenting for the RS9 and bot the RS6 because the RS6 has the exact same dimensions as my car seat, so it would be perfect 😓

Karl im bigger than the average bear, and have just gone from the rs6 to the xl rs. I found the rs6 to be a bit more uncomfortable than the xl rs. Also the rs6 side pads on the cushion had the metal bars come through (not pierced the vinyl) so that's why I upgraded, would've considered the rs9 if I new it was a tad bigger.

I keep wondering what should I choose between bucket and reclined seat , maybe the reclined are more comfy but I need that extra way to tilt back the bucket seats when is mounted with the brackets, can u do that also with the reclined ones ?

I was put off by the hump on the RS9 and similar seats. It looks like it might make left foot braking harder, or interfere with my crown jewels, although I've never sat in one and don't know if either is true. For all I know it could make left foot braking more comfortable by adding a little extra cushion for the leg that's crossing over.

£465 for the omega lite and rs9 with kg5 code, thanks!

Damn Karl you're talented, no way I could get a fist in lol. No comparison to the XL?

Excellent review Karl (notwithstanding the fisting demo🤣). Someone local to me is selling an unused rs9 for $100 (Canadian).

Great review man, just wondering if you've reviewed the RS XL seat yet? I'm an average sized guy, 5 11, 13 1/2 stone. I prefer the all black look of the XL, I'm actually planning to put it in a flight sim rig, just wondring if you think the XL would be too big for me?

Can you move the seat forward and backward or maybe move the plate with the pedals? Im pretty short so might have a problem reaching the pedals otherwise

Hi, Is the seat foldable, i mean like the playseat that can be easily stored? Thanks

Hi Karl I have the RS9 I wouldn't have the strongest back! I find it doesn't have great support. Have you heard of and work arounds for this I'm using a standard car seat at the moment 😢

alright ive decided on the titan cockpit with the rs6 seat. Im looking into the G920 wheel and pedals for my first go around. Should I hold off on the G920 setup and get something Im going to enjoy longer down the road? I'm a PC player. Thanks for you advice!

9:26 and subscribed lol

Great comparison. How is the seat cushion? Is it firm or soft and squishy. Apologies if I missed it in the video.

Would be nice to actually be able to buy one... Constantly sold out. Of everything but a seatless frame.

A lot of folks get the bucket seats because they are more stable under heavy braking. Do you find there's any measurable flex in the seat when braking hard?

Do you get any flex of the back under heavy (load cell) braking?

Does anyone know where to get help on building a DD1 setup the fanatec website is so confusing. .. thank you for the info

We have a RS9 on GT Omega Art, how is the hinge flex on these seats after a few years? Thanks in advance.

I have a two questions, I’m not sure if you still reply but would these seats work on a next level racing cockpits? And if so would the seat slider work with the next level racing cockpit? Preferably the Gtelite lite, sorry I can’t find anything on this, thanks!

I'm 5'9 but the xl rs and the rs6 are the same price. Would you chose the xl rs even as a smaller guy? Heard good things about that seat.

Got the RS9 last year and am very happy. RS6 looks a little “childish” maybe?

Hello Karl, which of the seats would you suggest for me just in terms of size? I’m 6’2/3, and 75kg. (I’m 16 years old by the way, so I might be growing a little bit more.)

Can i montage this on the playseat evolution

Can other seats be fitted to the GT Omega Prime cockpit or only these two? I'm wondering if a Sparco seat would fit for example

Great video, but you never mentioned your height and weight. Would appreciate knowing your height and weight for a better comparison. I am 6’ and 220lbs and still undecided between the two. Thanks

Can you use your own seat? Neither of those 2 seats relieve pressure off your legs. Your base pedal set does when it should be your seat. Just curious because I'd love to use one of my seats on this setup.

Hello, may I please ask for advice for seat? I am 6’1 but thin with like 65kg, will be RS9 seat enough? Thanks. :)

I know you can recline the seats, but can you also fold it towards the steering wheel to save some space?

Just put my rs9 together. Is there a bit of play in the back of the seat if u lean forward and back?

Little question. Would you recommend paying extra €10 for package protection from Gt omega ?

does tyhe bump in the middle of the rs9 seat affect left foot braking?
