Moroso Roll Bar Padding

Moroso Roll Bar Padding: Racer-Engineered Cockpit Protection

When it comes to cockpit safety, few details matter more than keeping the driver separated from the hard steel of a roll cage. Moroso Performance Products has been answering that call since 1968, bringing the same racer-first philosophy that built the brand's reputation to every piece of safety equipment they produce — including their line of roll bar padding.

Moroso was started in 1968 by Dick Moroso, one of the most successful modified production drag racers on record, who left his racing career to design, test, and manufacture specialized products aimed exclusively at racers' needs — and the performance world quickly recognized that Moroso products were a cut above because they were designed and built for racers, by a racer. That heritage is evident even in a product as focused as roll bar padding.

What Sets Moroso Roll Bar Padding Apart

Moroso's offset roll bar padding is engineered with a deliberate structural advantage: the high-density foam provides maximum safety and protection from impact, and the installation holes are offset to position extra padding on the driver side, where it's needed the most. This isn't just foam slipped over a tube — it's a purposeful safety solution.

Moroso's offset roll bar padding is packaged in single 3-foot lengths, and the special flame-retardant padding is extruded from high-density foam for maximum safety and protection. The flame-retardant formulation is a critical feature in any race environment, helping prevent the material from dripping or melting in a fire event.

The padding features a 3-inch outer diameter extruded from high-density foam, with an inside diameter of 1‑5/8 inches that is offset by 7/16 inches to position extra cushioning toward the driver — and it is available in black, red, blue, and orange. The color options let racers coordinate with their car's livery or meet team/series requirements without sacrificing protection.

For builders who need to meet sanctioning body requirements, Moroso also offers an SFI 45.1 certified padding option — a higher-spec piece designed to satisfy the rulebooks of organizations that mandate certified roll bar padding in competition vehicles.

Built in the USA, Trusted on the Track

Moroso's facility has been manufacturing products right in Connecticut, USA since 1968, and all fabricated and welded products are built by hand by talented men and women, some of whom have dedicated over 40 years of service to Moroso. That commitment to domestic craftsmanship means each piece of roll bar padding meets the consistent quality standards that racers and safety inspectors expect.

The company has an impressive list of customers, ranging from grass-roots racers to top-level NASCAR and NHRA/IHRA race teams — and Moroso roll bar padding fits just as naturally into a weekend bracket racer's cage as it does in a national-level competitor's cockpit. Whether you're building a dedicated drag car, a road-race machine, or a multi-purpose track vehicle, Moroso delivers the coverage, compliance, and confidence to keep you safer behind the wheel.
