Steering wheel Formula Forte™ Asetek SimSports
Brand: ASETEK SimSports
Inspired by real-life formulas!
The Asetek SimSports® Forte® formula Steering wheel has been painstakingly designed by real drivers and simracers alike. It lives up to the feel of real-life racing while embracing the feedback from sim racing. With this and other feedback in mind, we started from scratch and a blank sheet of paper on a mission to create the best Steering wheel type formula racing simulation possible, but like our other products, being affordable and economical. We are pleased to say that we did just that: meet the Steering wheel Forte® Formula!
Many Steering Wheels, simulation racing or real-life racing, get their strength and stiffness from the faceplate and grips, often in a closed construction (the handlebars are mechanically connected at both ends). Unfortunately, that also makes them limited in size and design. To achieve maximum rigidity and at the same time allow you, the user, to easily change grips, add clutches, DRS cams, etc. We use an injection molded chassis with a carbon/glass/plastic composite material that provides very high natural stiffness and strength and features a laser etched forged carbon exterior without relying on the handlebars to provide strength and stiffness.
To add overall anti-flexion and a proper interface for the removable grips, the chassis features a metal spider interface inside and together results in a rigid Steering wheel that won't bend where the grips can be changed or upgraded over time to give you the Steering wheel you want! For now, we have two different sizes, the default provides a perfect fit and grip for average sized hands and an XL version for larger hands.
The ergonomic grips are made of a comfortable, soft and durable silicone rubber that is easy to clean and disinfect and will give you maximum comfort and control, regardless of whether you wear racing gloves or not. You will have the option to easily change grips to quickly implement future upgrades in color, size, shape and hardness.
The front of the wheel is made of a 2mm woven carbon plate that provides a beautiful home for all switches/buttons.
With many inputs, the Asetek SimSports® Forte® formula Steering wheel , through our RaceHub ™, will give you the option to customize and assign all the buttons, switches, encoders and cams you need to be on top. With 12 push buttons, two 2-way toggle switches and two 7-way ripple switches, three rotary encoders and six thumb encoders, you can control all the desired configurations.
All buttons, switches and rotary switches are of the highest quality standards and are fully tested and validated on our automatic button testing machines to guarantee years and years of daily use.
The Steering wheel Forte® features no less than 49 fully customizable aRGB LEDs, including rev lights and flags, allowing you to not only customize the look of your Steering wheel, but also help you make those split-second decisions that can make the difference between success or failure. LEDs can, of course, be adjusted, dimmed, customized in color and mapped in RaceHub, with many more features to come. Each button and LED can be clearly marked via the provided decal sheet that provides a backlit label for each function on your Steering wheel.
The rear end features, by default, two contactless magnetic shift paddles for fast and smooth gear changes. Easily upgradable to a double clutch for a perfect race start, as well as two additional adjustable cams that, for example, can be used for effortless overtaking and DRS activation. All cams and their associated mechanics are, like the wheel chassis itself, injection molded in an ultra-light and rigid carbon composite material.
All Steering Wheels Asetek SimSports® feature our own Quick Release system that is as easy to use as shifting gears; literally, to disconnect the Steering wheel from the base, all you have to do is just press a paddle and the Steering wheel is in your hands! Needless to say, we don't rely on wireless signals that can fail or be inaccurate, batteries that need to be charged, or cables that can break or get in the way. It's all included in our quick release.
Our relentless focus on performance and accuracy gives the Asetek SimSports® Forte® formula Steering wheel a competitive edge! Giving you the quality and durability you expect from Asetek.
