The Cube Controls Astra is a formula-style sim racing wheel built entirely from aluminium, with a carbon fibre faceplate, the new ELOI shifter and clutch system and RGB buttons configurable via SimHub. At just 1050 g (without hub), it is the lightest formula wheel in its category without giving up rigidity or build quality.
Cube Controls builds wheels for real F1, GT3, TCR and hypercar racing cars, and that know-how carries over to the Astra: a die-cast aluminium chassis, a 4 mm motorsport-grade carbon fibre plate, a much faster new processor and silicone grips developed over 12 months with professional esports drivers. It mounts on the direct drive wheelbases on the market via a formula-style Quick Release.

- 100% aluminium construction with a 4 mm motorsport-grade carbon fibre faceplate: rigid, light and durable.
