Nitro Concepts Gaming Chair Reviews

Nitro Concepts made its market debut in 2016 and focuses on entry level gaming chairs with a unique German made design approach. According to their website, the brand’s primary goal is to supply gamers with ergonomic, functional and eye-pleasing seats. A team of experienced textile industry veterans and seasoned gaming enthusiasts based in Germany is doing their best to accomplish these goals.

Nitro Concepts clearly is not a premium brand, so if you value features like 4D-armrests, high-end materials and precise craftsmanship you are better off checking out noblechairs. The current product range of Nitro Concepts is to be seen somewhere between the ranks of Arozzi and GT Omega. They offer decent quality and workmanship combined with essential features at an affordable pricing – that is the resume of my E220 EVO review.

All in all, the cost effectiveness of this brand is quite good and some of their designs stand out against its competitors in a positive manner. Nitro Concepts should be taken seriously within the market segment of entry-level gaming chairs and if you are on a budget, I strongly advise you to take their products into account!

Is A Nitro Concepts Chair Worth It?

A Nitro Concepts gaming chair is worth it depending on your personal preferences. The C80 models deliver more value for the money then low-level Arozzi chairs do (steel frame instead of plywood), and the fresh designs of the Evo and Race breathe new life into the market. Their right to exist is undeniable: Nitro Concepts pleases the average built gamer who is on a budget and looking for an ergonomic as well as stunning piece of furniture to boost their gaming setup.

Furthermore, I would like to underline that I have been in contact with the company both as a customer and as a professional and their support is on par with premium brands like noblechairs. Speaking of this platinum brand, I even found another similarity: Nitro Concepts also utilises perforated PU-leather on their E200 Race chair (quite a bit thinner though) to compensate for the usual lack of breathability – awesome!

Nitro Concepts chairs are stocked with …

perforated PU-leather (E200 Race), PU-fabric-hybrid (E220 Evo) or full synthetic leather covering
a steel frame resting on a nylon base with 50mm PU-casters carrying a max load of 120 kilos
a modifiable 15° rocking function and foldable armrests with a thick padding (C80 Motion)
a special fire-retardant surface material that complies with the UK Fire Safety Regulations
a metal sticker showing the brand’s logo as a bonus

Of course one has to lower the sights in matters of material quality, workmanship, flexibility and size diversity compared to brands like DXRacer, Vertagear or of course noblechairs but the economical prices are not by chance. You can not have everything.

Should I Buy Nitro Concepts?

For a gamer on a budget, Nitro Concepts offers a lot: Unique designs, forward-thinking (perforated PU, hybrid cover) and a second to none customer support. If “average” is a word you would describe your build with, their chairs will be an excellent fit, regardless of their limited adjustability.

Should You Skip Over NC?

4D-armrests, an adjustable backrest, neck and lumbar pillows, genuine leather and top-notch precision. If these are features you value, Nitro Concepts is probably not your cup of tea. Larger gamers will also hope in vain for a heavy duty seat or a chair with an expanded sitting height and backrest.

Recommended Alternatives

If you got to like the feature-set, quality-level and financial requirements of the Nitro Concepts chairs but dislike their designs, give Arozzi or GT Omega a try. The latter does cost a bit more but comes with a lot more flexibility. Want more quality or XL chairs? Check out noblechairs or Vertagear.

My Top 3 Nitro Concepts Chairs

I was very curious which seat you guys would buy the most, and so I did some research. The rather surprising outcome was: The C80 Comfort is the best-selling Nitro Concepts chair in Germany and the UK. Again this exemplifies that the majority wants to buy as cheap as possible and although I do not recommend doing that (bought cheaply will be paid dearly), I understand that the affordable C80 chair is what makes Nitro Concepts so appealing to the crowd.

Of course, buying an E220 Evo gives you a more sophisticated and feature-rich chair, that also comes with a bit more room for taller gamers, but at this price range, other brands might offer more bang for the buck. So it seems comprehensible that, even though the E220 I reviewed and the E200 Race are the better chairs, the C80 find more customers.

With the S300 which was released in late 2017, the brand brought its first almost-premium chair into the game that scores with its comfortable fabric covering.

Gold Award Winner For Best Cost-Performance-Ratio: The S300

The S300 offers excellent value for money and is by far the best Nitro Concepts chair. Quality, functionality and optically this seat is second to none within the low to medium budget sector. It is also equipped with the best fabric cover I have ever tested – it is just remarkably comfortable!

Supported by a solid steel frame instead of inferior plywood
Offers loads of adjustments like 3D armrests

Breathable Fabric With An Elegant Touch Of Pleather: The E220 Evo

While high-quality synthetic leather looks elegant and is easy to clean, it lacks breathability which hinders an overall comfortable sitting climate. A breathable fabric covering, on the other hand, tends to look rather antiquated and is more prone to attract stains. With the E220’s hybrid cover Nitro Concepts tried to combine the best out of both worlds and based on my in-depth review of this chair I can say that it worked out well.

Perforation Does The Trick For The E200 Race

The Germans seem to be the first to come up with the idea of perforating their PU-leather to offset for the poor climatic characteristics of common synthetic leather. Although I have not been able to do hands-on testing of the E200’s qualities yet, I know that this principle works based on my review of the noblechairs EPIC PU-leather chair. So if you adore an elegant looking and easy to care for pleather-cover, the E200 Race might be your thing.

Overview And Size Guide For Nitro Concepts

I spent quite some time comparing the measurements and ergonomic features of all the different Nitro Concepts chairs to put together a size-guide, but to be honest: This brand produces for the averagely sized guy.

The side boulders of the Excellence Class seats (E200, E220) are a bit more pronounced which gives the user more race car feeling but narrows down the effective space a bit. The C80 chairs do not give you that comfortable feeling of getting hugged from behind but provide larger gamers with insignificantly more breathing room. Furthermore, the Evo and Race models do offer a slightly elevated sitting height, but in the end, all these aspects have a pretty marginal effect.

The flagship of Nitro Concept’s range is the brand new S300 which I recently crowned to my no. 1 fabric covered gaming chair. It offers remarkable quality at low cost and is one of my favourite all around chairs on the market. The S300 offers a lot of breathing room and accommodates even beefier gamers with ease.

My advice: All Nitro Concepts chairs are suitable for the average gamer and fit optimally if you are within 1.75-1.85m in height and around 60-90 kilos in weight. To be honest: For this brand, there is only one choice in my opinion which is the S300 with its second to none cost-performance ratio! It carries 100+ kilos with ease, and 1.65m-1.90m is suitable regarding height.
