Review of GTRacing gaming chairs
GTRacing has four different product lines. This section summarizes each one.
Ace S1 Series
GTRacing price: $199.99
In 2020, GTRacing launched the Ace S1 Series. That model disrupted the cheap gaming chair pricing model by offering higher-end features than other cheap chairs.
Ace S1 Features
The GTRacing Ace S1 Series comes in three PU leather styles and two soft fabric ones. All models cost less than $200. Features include fully-adjustable 4D armrests and an impressive 5-year warranty.
- Functionality: 4D armrests; recline to 165°; rocking and tilt tension.
- Comfort: high-density foam padding; neck and lumbar support cushions.
- Foundation: steel frame; Class 3 gas lift; XL PU-coated casters.
Ace S1 Sizing
The Ace S1 chair suits average sizes with slim figures. Users with thick legs or wide hips may find Ace chair dimensions a bit too snug:
- Seat width x depth: 19.69″ (W) x 21.65″ (D)
- Backrest width x height: 21.26″ (W) x 32.28″ (H)
- Floor to seat range: 17.72″ to 22.14″
- Chair height: 49.21″ to 53.15″
- Size rating: 5’3″ to 6’1″; maximum weight capacity 290 pounds.
Buying advice
The GTRacing Ace S1 is an upgraded version of the super-popular GTRacing Pro Series chairs. Compared to the Pro Series, Ace chairs offer better features and a longer warranty.
Paying $40 more to buy an Ace over a Pro Series chair is well worth it. Even at $199.99, this chair is a bargain. To learn more, check out our GTRacing Ace S1 Series chair review.

Ace M1 Series
GTRacing price: $259.99
A few months after the debut of the Ace S1, GTRacing launched the Ace M1 Series. This model offers pro esports gaming chair features and a 5-year warranty for less than $300.
Ace M1 Features
Ace M1 chairs have the same rich features as the world’s best pro esports gaming chairs.
- Functionality: 4D armrests; recline to 170°; multifunction tilt-lock.
- Comfort: high-density foam padding; neck and lumbar support cushions.
- Foundation: steel frame; powder-coated aluminum base; gas lift; PU-coated casters.

Pro Series
GTRacing price: $169.99 to $175.99
The GTRacing Pro Series is GTRacing’s most popular product line. Like Ace Series chairs, these chairs have compact dimensions best suited to slim adults of average height.
Features
Most chairs at this price range offer fixed (or 1D) armrests and a 6-month or 1-year warranty. GTRacing Pro Series chairs stand out with 2D armrests and a 2-year warranty. Summary of features:
- Functionality: 2D armrests; recline to 170°
- Comfort: high density foam padding; neck and lumbar pillows.
- Cover material: standard PU leather trim in 2-tone or tri-color designs.
- Support: steel frame; metal base; class 4 gas lift; smooth rolling casters.
Sizing
Pro Series seats are a good fit for teens and slim adults of average height. GTRacing rates Pro Series chairs to support up to 330 pounds. In reality, people that heavy would be too wide for these chairs. For slim adults or teens, the 330-pound rating ensures a super-solid build. Sitting in a Pro Series chair feels like sitting in a tank.
- Seat width x depth: 21.26″ (W) x 22.8″ (D)
- Backrest height x width: 32.5″ (H), 21.5″ (W)
- Floor to seat range: 17.32″ to 21.56″
- Total height: 48.8″ to 52″
- Size rating: 5’4″ to 5’11”; maximum weight capacity 330 pounds
To learn more about Pro Series chairs, check our detailed Pro Series chair review. Below is a summary of the most popular Pro Series model.
Classic GT099-RED
This is the original GTRacing gaming chair and still one of Amazon’s top sellers. This model comes in classic red with black trim.
GT099 Red from GTRacing USA $169.99
Americans, Canadians, and UK residents can buy from Amazon for USD$149.99. Europeans can buy the GT099 Classic for €169.99 from GTRacing.eu.
Bluetooth Music Series
GTRacing price: $159.99 to $195.99
We’re not fans of gaming chairs with Bluetooth speakers — proper speakers of a gaming headset works much better. Even so, GTRacing Music chairs are very popular. Big holes fit into the upper backrest to house the speakers. You need to run a USB from the backrest to your computer to charge the speakers.
A 3-hour charge will get you 5-6 hours of music time within a 5-meter range of your PC. For this to work, your computer needs to have a built-in Bluetooth connection. If not sure how to check on a Windows machine, refer to this Microsoft guide for help.
Despite the clunky charging process, the end result is pleasing. Stereo sound effects blast from speakers on both sides of the chair. It’s an immersive sonic experience that enhances gameplay to a noticeable degree. Most people who try it will get blown away by the level of immersion.
If chair-powered surround sound appeals, check GTRacing’s Music Series chairs on their site.
GT890M Music Series
One model in the Music Series line is the GT890M. This is a GT099-RED (best-selling Classic model) with added speakers.
GT890M Music Series from GTRacing.com $189.99
Americans and Canadians can buy from Amazon for USD$173.99. Europeans can buy the GT890M for €179.99 from GTRacing.eu.
Footrest Series
GTRacing price: $159.99 to $195.99
Like Music Series chairs, some Footrest Series models are enhanced Pro Series chairs. When working upright, fold the footrest so that it stashes under your seat. When it’s time to relax, retract the footrest, deepen your chair’s recline, and kick your feet up. For example, the GT901 Series comes in four color styles and cost USD $199.99 on GTRacing.com.
GTRacing also makes footrest gaming chairs optimized for the living room. For example, the GTF39 Series comes with fixed, extra padded armrests and a retractable footrest. At a desk, the fixed padded arms aren’t ideal. In the living, room, those plus the footrest deliver a luxurious throne for gaming or watching movies. On GTRacing.com, GTF39 Series chairs cost $179.99.
