Last year I was tasked with reviewing the early design of the Champion Series from EwinRacing and it has drastically changed my desk comfort and productivity. I have learned that sitting in a quality chair, that has been adjusted and tweaked for my desk environment has a significant impact on my mood, letting me get more done at my desk, while keeping me comfortable throughout.
The latest iteration of the Champion Series has a more ergonomic design, updated instructions, and the same premium build and materials continue to make EwinRacing a strong contender in the gaming chair scene.

My weekly time spent in a chair has gone down over the past year, which is why when I do get the time to sit at my desk, and play some games the experience needs to be as comfortable as possible, and the latest model of the Champion Series is exactly what I am looking for. The textured, diamond stitching feels better to sit and lean against, while also delivering a cooler experience, thanks to the additional airflow. Like most other gaming chairs, the Champion Series offers great customization over height, armrests, dual-pillow support and reclining.
After having spent the better part of a year with a similar model, I now have a better understanding of when to angle my armrests in which direction, and how I like to place the back and neck pillows for the best support. The amount of configurations for the “4D” armrests is staggering, and are perfect for switching tasks at my desk. I raise them when I am typing, and rotate the fronts to point in to give my elbows more support while keeping my hands and wrists level to the desk, to reduce strain.
One thing I would change is the leaning functionality. A bit more pressure is required than I would like to have to rock back, and there is no ability to lock the angle in place. There is a tensioner at the base of the chair that is supposed to make things stiffer or looser, but I couldn’t get it loose enough to accommodate my lazy lounge desires.
My desk space doesn’t require much rolling, but the wheels and base of the Champion Series have no issue in my carpeted space, or the hard floors in my other rooms.
THE GOOD
Customizable seating configurations to meet a session’s demands
Easy, 15 min setup time (quicker than before)
Durable, comfortable materials designed for long sessions
Premium feeling components and build which match the price
THE BAD
After prolonged use, support pillows need to be readjusted.
The difference in SKUs and models aren’t clearly delineated online.
High listing price is still intimidating without getting to sit in first.
The Final Word
A quality chair is essential to a comfortable desk experience, and the Champion Series from EwinRacing is indeed great quality. While it is very configurable, it doesn’t fully meet the leaning and rocking capabilities to accommodate every sitting mood I have, it still offers an above satisfactory experience for most situations.
