The Asetek THORP II Hydraulic Brake Upgrade Kit is an upgrade kit for sim racing pedals that converts your brake to the second-generation THORP II hydraulic system, designed to reproduce the two-stage braking of a real race car.
Its refined hydraulic system, with wider chambers, improves modulation and trail braking, and adds more travel and force adjustment than the previous generation. It is a modular upgrade within the Asetek ecosystem: you upgrade just the brake without replacing the whole pedal set. It is compatible with the La Prima and Forte pedals in the Asetek SimSports range. For the Initium brake pedal there is a dedicated THORP II kit.
