Personalized Racing: The type of steering wheel you choose can significantly impact your experience. This is why we’ve designed a wide selection of rims, so you don’t have to compromise your performance. Each rim is designed with specific racing styles in mind, and knowing how to utilize them to your advantage is key. Whether navigating smooth tracks, mastering GT cars, tackling rally challenges, or executing a daring drift maneuver, there is a rim designed for your needs.

All the inputs you’ll ever need: With 112 individual input options, the Asetek Simsports® Forte® Button Box will give you all the options you need to take the lead and earn the win. Every button, encoder and switch are located within easy reach for simple on-the-go adjustments. All buttons and encoders are bindable, no matter if you need to activate DRS activation, adjust brake bias, and traction control, or turn on your windscreen wipers we’ve got you covered. Supporting additional paddles, you have everything you need to be on top of your game.

Designed for strength and rigidity: Most Steering wheels, Sim- or Real-racing get their strength and rigidity from the front face plate and the wheel rim, oftentimes in a closed construction, meaning that the wheel rim is fixed to the front face. The downside to this is that the handles are locked in size and design. We do not believe in “one size fits all” and therefore, we have designed our steering wheels to have exchangeable handles. To achieve maximum stiffness, we use an injection molded chassis with a composite material consisting of carbon, glass, and plastic. This material provides very high rigidity and strength. Featuring a sleek- looking forged carbon look exterior with a 2mm woven carbon front face plate, providing a beautiful home for all the buttons and switches.

Customizable LEDs for buttons, encoders, REV- and Flag-lights are everything you need and more, in terms of personalization.
