The Cube Controls F-CORE is Cube Controls' premium entry-level formula wheel for PC: a light, rigid wheel with a carbon fibre faceplate and competition electronics, designed to step up to serious sim racing with a dual USB + Bluetooth connection and configurable magnetic paddles.
Made in Italy, it combines a 4 mm carbon fibre faceplate with a die-cast aluminium body for a rigid assembly of just 895 g. Its ergonomic elastomer grips give a firm hold even without gloves, and its formula-style Quick Release mounting (3 bolts, 70 mm PCD) makes it compatible with most direct drive wheelbases on the market. It is a fully customisable wheel that can grow with you over time.
