The Asetek Initium Boost Kit is the official upgrade that takes the Asetek Initium direct drive wheelbase from 5.5 to 8 Nm, compatible with PC, for more force without changing the base.

Developed by Asetek SimSports, it is a plug-and-play upgrade that installs with no tools and includes the 180 W power supply needed for 8 Nm. Beyond the torque increase, it raises the slew rate from 1.9 to 2.5 Nm/ms, and RaceHub recognises the new limit automatically.

Key features of the Initium Boost Kit

  • Takes the Initium from 5.5 to 8 Nm, with more force through corners, kerbs and braking.
  • Slew rate from 1.9 to 2.5 Nm/ms for a faster response.
  • Plug-and-play installation, with no tools and without disassembling the base.
  • Automatic recognition in RaceHub of the new torque limit.
  • Includes the 180 W power supply required for 8 Nm.
