Racing Roll Bar Paddings
Roll bar padding adds a protective foam layer around roll cage bars and other contact points in the race car cockpit. It helps cushion areas where the driver’s helmet or body could contact the cage, making proper fit and placement an important part of cockpit safety. Behrent’s carries roll cage padding from trusted racing brands including Kirkey, Moroso, Allstar Racing, and Simpson, with options for different tubing sizes, cockpit layouts, and installation needs. Replace your worn padding, outfit a new cage, or pair fresh padding with window netting for a more complete cockpit safety setup.

How to Choose Roll Bar Padding
Match the padding to your roll bar diameter and the area of the cage you need to cover. Offset, U-shaped, and mini styles can suit different tubing sizes and cockpit clearances, while classes that require SFI 45.1 padding need products specifically identified as meeting that specification.
| Padding Option | Best For | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Offset padding | Cage areas where space or driver clearance affects placement | Check tubing diameter, padding dimensions, and available cockpit space. |
| U-shaped padding | Wrapping exposed sections of roll cage tubing | Match the opening and overall size to the bar diameter. |
| Mini padding | Tighter cockpit areas where full-size padding may not fit | Confirm dimensions, bar fit, and clearance around the driver. |
| SFI 45.1-rated padding | Classes or tracks that require padding meeting SFI Specification 45.1 | Verify the specific product is identified by the manufacturer as meeting SFI 45.1. |
| Individual pieces | Replacing a worn section or padding a small number of bars | Check the length, quantity, and areas that need coverage. |
| Case quantities | New builds or larger cage-padding jobs | Estimate the amount of padding for roll bars needed before ordering. |
Check the areas of the cage that may contact the driver’s helmet or body, the installation space, color preference, and the quantity needed. Confirm current track, class, and rulebook requirements before choosing standard or SFI 45.1-rated padding.
Frequently Asked Questions About Roll Bar Padding
Is roll bar padding required in a race car?
Requirements vary by track, class, and sanctioning body. Many rulebooks specify padding in areas where the driver could contact the cage, so check the current rules for your racing application before installing or replacing it.
What is the SFI rating for roll bar padding?
SFI Specification 45.1 covers roll cage padding used in competitive motorsports and establishes minimum testing and performance standards. Look for products the manufacturer identifies as meeting SFI 45.1 when your class or rulebook requires it.
When should you replace roll bar padding?
Replace it when it becomes worn, loose, cracked, compressed, damaged, or no longer stays securely in place. Fresh padding may also be needed when rebuilding the cockpit or when current rules call for a different specification.
