Designed specifically for Ascher Racing's McLaren Esports series , it's the ideal choice for those seeking a realistic, reliable, and durable shift feel in their sim racing wheel.

Absolute precision and maintenance-free reliability

Each activation conveys a clear and consistent mechanical sensation thanks to its optimized architecture.

Key advantages:

• Magnetic “snap-action” function with firm and defined response
• Contactless Hall sensor for unlimited electrical lifespan
• More than 20 million mechanical activations
• Pre-tensioned ball bearings for smooth, backlash-free operation
• Noise reduction through damped rubber bumpers
• Sealed electronics with IP67 protection
• Ultra-low power consumption (40 µA), ideal for wireless steering wheels

The result is a clean, quiet, and stable shift, even after years of intensive use in your sim racing cockpit.

Evolution compared to the previous generation

Gen6 significantly improves upon Gen5 in key aspects for competitive sim racing :

• Complete elimination of internal mechanical switches
• Measurement based on NS orientation of the magnet (not on intensity)
• Perfect signal without the need for additional filters
• Greater operational smoothness
• Permanent precision without adjustments

Each improvement is focused on delivering a more robust, repeatable, and professional change experience.

Available cam options

You can configure the shifter according to your driving style:

• Formula – 26 mm wide, 67 mm high, 13 g each
• GT – 34 mm wide, 122 mm high, 30 g each

Perfect for adapting your steering wheel for simracing disciplines such as Formula, GT or endurance.

Compatibility and requirements

• Compatible exclusively with the Ascher Racing McLaren Esports Series
• IP67 protection (requires gasket between the cam and the steering wheel housing, not included)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to +85°C
• To convert a dual-shifter steering wheel to a single-shifter, the Gen6 Shifter Conversion Cable for Artura Series is required.

Ideal for advanced professional sim racing setups seeking maximum precision and durability.
