Do you have questions about Simucube ActivePedals? We've got them all answered here.

At Simufy, we know that Simucube 's ActivePedals spark a lot of curiosity. They're unlike any other pedal on the market, and if you're thinking about taking the plunge into the most advanced sim racing genre, you're probably asking yourself several questions. So, we've compiled the most frequently asked questions and answered them in detail here.

What makes Simucube ActivePedals so different from other simracing pedals?

Unlike traditional pedals (whether load-cell or hydraulic), ActivePedals have no springs, elastomers, or fluids . Instead, they use a precision screw motor that allows 100% digital control of pedal behavior. There are no passive elements: everything is managed by software.

This means you can adjust the pedal's hardness, travel, and even response down to the millimeter, without tools or disassembling anything. Plus, they offer real-time reactive force , something conventional pedals simply can't simulate. And if that's not enough, they can be configured as brake, accelerator, or clutch pedals , depending on your needs.

Will using ActivePedals make me faster?

There's no magic here, but there is science. With ActivePedals, you'll notice an improvement in your consistency, confidence, and control . With much more precise and clear feedback, it's easier to correct mistakes and understand exactly what the car and tires are doing at any given moment.

Many riders agree: a consistent and predictable feel helps you nail the braking pressure lap after lap , allowing you to push as hard as you can in every corner. It's not that they magically make you faster... they give you the tools to become faster.

Are they really worth what they cost?

It's a very fair question. The ActivePedals are designed as a high-end product, and that's reflected in their price. But also in their components:

• High-complexity force feedback motor.
• Custom and very precise electronics.
• Mechanics capable of withstanding between 110 and 170 kg of force .

All of this translates into a level of realism and customization you won't find in any other pedal. So, are they worth the investment? That depends on your budget and priorities. But if you're looking for maximum simulation fidelity, or you compete at a level where every little detail counts, then probably yes: this is one of the best you can get right now on the market .

What is the difference between the ActivePedal Pro and ActivePedal Ultimate models?

Simucube offers two versions: Pro and Ultimate . They share the same technological foundation, but with some key differences:

• Maximum strength: The Pro reaches up to 110 kg, while the Ultimate reaches 170 kg. The latter is ideal for professional pilots or those seeking the most extreme.
• Mounting : The Pro allows only standard mounting, but the Ultimate also supports inverted (hanging type) mounting and has an adjustable pedal arm to improve ergonomics in Formula or Le Mans type positions.
• Power Supply: Each Pro pedal requires its own power supply. The Ultimate pedals, on the other hand, can share a power supply (useful if you plan to set up two or three).
  
• Warranty: 3 years for the Pro, and 5 years for the Ultimate .
  

In short, the Ultimate is designed for those who don't want to compromise. The Pro , on the other hand, is the ideal option for enthusiasts who want the latest technology, but with a slightly more affordable approach.

Do I need an ActivePedal for each function (brake, accelerator, clutch)?

Yes. Each ActivePedal unit functions as a single, configurable pedal (it can be brake, gas, or clutch, but one at a time). So if you want both brake and gas, you'll need two units.

However, many sim racers choose to buy just one (usually for the brake, which is where the improvement is most noticeable) and combine it with passive pedals for the other functions. For example, you can have a Simucube ActivePedal as a brake , and continue using your current pedals for the gas and clutch.

Additionally, the Simucube Throttle is a passive accelerator pedal that connects directly to the ActivePedal. And if you already have other pedals like the Heusinkveld , you can use an optional adapter to integrate them into the same setup. This way, you can start small and expand your system as needed.

If you're looking for a fully adjustable, limitless, industrial-grade riding experience, the Simucube ActivePedals are for you.
