MX-5 Roll Bar Buyer's Guide: GC1 vs GC2 vs GC3

Choosing the right roll bar for your MX-5 can seem overwhelming with multiple options available. This guide breaks down the differences between our GC1, GC2, and GC3 roll bars to help you make an informed decision.

GC1 - The Essential Choice

The GC1 is our entry-level roll bar, but don't let that fool you - it's built to the same exacting standards as our entire range. Featuring a single diagonal brace, it provides excellent protection while maintaining a clean aesthetic.

Best for: Track day enthusiasts, daily drivers wanting added safety

GC2 - Enhanced Protection

The GC2 adds a second diagonal brace, creating an X-pattern that significantly increases torsional rigidity. This not only improves safety but also contributes to sharper handling through better chassis stiffness.

Best for: Regular track users, hillclimb competitors

GC3 - Full Specification

Our flagship model, the GC3 incorporates full bracing with an integrated harness bar. It's the ultimate choice for serious competition use where maximum protection is paramount.

Best for: Competition use, sprint events, racing

Wide Profile Options (GCR Series)

For drivers who want maximum headroom or are running bucket seats, our GCR series offers wider profile versions of each model. These sit further back and provide additional clearance.
