Our take on the Playseat Challenge Black Actifit Black

The Playseat Challenge Actifit is a folding racing seat built around a tubular steel frame and Actifit fabric that flexes with your body. It folds flat in seconds and weighs about 44 lb, so it suits people who race in a living room and need the rig out of the way afterward. It holds up to 269 lb and mounts a wheel and pedals directly, but the fabric seat and light frame flex more than a fixed aluminum cockpit. Owners like the fold-and-stow convenience and the comfortable seating position; the common complaints are movement under heavy force feedback and a pedal plate that flexes under hard braking.

Best forApartment and living-room racers who need to fold the rig awayCasual to mid-level sim racers on console or PCDrivers who want a compact cockpit without a permanent rigPlayers with limited floor space

Questions and answers

Does it work with a direct-drive wheel?
It mounts one, but the light frame flexes noticeably under high torque. It suits belt- or gear-driven wheels better.
Can it be folded with the wheel and pedals attached?
The seat folds with the frame, but most owners remove the wheel and pedals first to keep the folded package compact.
How much weight does it hold?
Up to 269 lb (122 kg).
Is a shifter mount included?
No. A shifter mount is sold separately and attaches to the frame.
Does it fit tall drivers?
The pedal plate and wheel deck adjust, and most drivers up to around 6 ft 2 in report a workable position, though very tall users may feel cramped.
Is it console-compatible?
Yes. It is a passive cockpit, so any wheel that works with your PlayStation, Xbox or PC mounts to it.
