The Asetek Initium is a direct drive wheelbase of 5.5 Nm for sim racing, compatible with PC, aimed at drivers stepping up to Direct Drive who still want precise force feedback with room to grow.

Designed and built by Asetek SimSports, the Initium brings Danish engineering to the entry tier: a 5.5 Nm Direct Drive motor with a 1.9 Nm/ms slew rate, a 14-bit absolute encoder and an aluminium housing. When you want more torque, the Boost Kit takes it to 8 Nm without changing the base.

Key features of the Asetek Initium

5.5 Nm Direct Drive with a 1.9 Nm/ms slew rate: immediate force feedback, with no belts or gears in between.
14-bit absolute encoder (16,384 steps, 0.022°) that relays every detail of the track to the wheel.
Upgradeable to 8 Nm with the Initium Boost Kit, a plug-and-play upgrade that keeps the same base.
Compact aluminium housing (133 × 132 × 235 mm, 5.7 kg) with a table clamp included for desk or cockpit.
USB-C hub with 5 ports for Asetek peripherals: clean, centralised cabling.
Asetek RaceHub software to tune force feedback curves and effects and update the firmware.
