The Simucube VALO GT-23 is a high-end wireless sim racing wheel with 18 programmable RGB LEDs and dual hall-effect clutches, available with a 320 mm D-shape rim in Alcantara or leather, or with the 315 mm open bullhorn rim of the EVO version, compatible with Simucube 2 direct drive wheelbases and with Simucube 3 through an adapter.
It is the flagship wheel of the Simucube range: a black anodised CNC-milled aluminium rim wrapped in Alcantara or leather, with an unusually complete set of controls — 10 industrial-grade buttons with aluminium guards, 2 seven-way joysticks, 2 front rotary encoders, 2 thumb encoders, 2 magnetic shift paddles and 2 clutch paddles with adjustable position. The D-shape versions weigh 2.1 kg and run on a rechargeable 2,000 mAh NiMh battery that lasts between 30 and 60 hours depending on the LED setup.

Which version should you choose?
The two 320 mm D-shape versions are the all-rounders: Alcantara gives more grip with gloves and over long stints, leather a smoother feel that is easier to clean. The Valo EVO swaps the rim for a 315 mm open bullhorn in leather: it clears your view of the screen and places your hands naturally, as in a real single-seater. Electronics, paddles, controls and the 18 LEDs are identical across all three.
Compatibility
- Simucube 2 Sport, Pro and Ultimate: direct fitting with the included Simucube Quick Release.
- Simucube 3 Sport, Pro and Ultimate: through the Simucube 2 Quick Release adapter for Simucube 3.
- The Simucube Link Hub is required to drive the 18 LEDs from Simucube Tuner. If you do not own one, tick the “Add Simucube Link” option when ordering.
- Compatible with 70 mm bolt-pattern quick releases.
- Platform: PC only. It is not compatible with PlayStation or Xbox.
