The Asetek THORP II upgrade kit turns the brake on your Initium pedal set into a fully hydraulic brake, with progressive pressure and natural return that reproduce the feel of a real race car.
It's the most advanced brake upgrade in the Initium range and the step above the MLCPC load cell brake: every lock-up and deep braking zone feels authentic, with modulation right at the limit of grip, built for professional sim racers and demanding enthusiasts.
- Fully hydraulic braking: simulates fluid compression and the system's progressive resistance.
- Race feel: fine modulation at the limit of grip, with full control.
- Short, firm travel: progressive response with real pedal pressure.
- Premium build: handles high forces and long sessions.
- Modular install: fits the Initium brake pedal without replacing the whole pedal set.
- Configurable in RaceHub™: adjust response, deadzones and behaviour.

What does this brake kit improve?
It turns the Initium brake into a hydraulic brake with progressive pressure and natural return — the range's ultimate braking realism.
What do I need to use it?
The Initium brake pedal on your Initium pedal set; the kit installs modularly onto it.
How is it different from the load cell brake?
The load cell reads force with a sensor; the THORP II is hydraulic and reproduces fluid compression and the real feel of a car's brake.
Can I configure it?
Yes. Response, deadzones and behaviour are adjusted in RaceHub™ software.
Do I need a rigid cockpit?
It's recommended: braking by force at high pressures means a rigid cockpit gets the most from the system.
