Precision. Focus. Endurance: qualities of every high-performance endeavor, from athletics to gaming. With the demand it places on equipment designed for maximum comfort and support, COUGAR looked to motorsports for inspiration, resulting in our latest gaming chair: the Hotrod.

The product has been designed for those gamers who prefer subtle design and comfort during long hours of gameplay. One of its key benefits are installed cushions (lumbar and headrest). This enhances the ergonomics of the model, keeping players healthy during long sessions. Its unique look, on the other hand, makes the armchair blend in both with standard gaming setups and other rooms, like a living room or a bedroom.

The Nitro 440 G2 has been enhanced in many other areas. This time around the manufacturer used a metal frame in order to make the construction more durable. Apart from that the chair is equipped with 60 mm nylon wheels (compared to the previous 50 mm), covered with the CareGlide, which greatly reduces the risk of scratching the floor. The arm rests have also been redesigned. Up until now they could not be configured at all. The G2 model allows users to change their height (1D customization).
