Inspired by real-life formula cars, the Asetek SimSports® Forte® Formula Wheel has been painstakingly designed by racers and sim racers alike. The wheel has been designed and manufactured to live up to the feel of real-life racing whilst also embracing the feedback from sim racing. With this and other feedback in mind, we started from scratch and from a blank sheet of paper with a mission to create the best sim racing formula wheel possible, but like our other products, without breaking the bank. We are happy to say that we achieved just that – meet the Forte® Formula Wheel!
Many wheels, both sim racing and real life racing, get their strength and stiffness from the faceplate and handlebars, often in a closed construction (handlebars are mechanically connected at both ends). Unfortunately, that also locks them in size and design. To achieve maximum stiffness while still allowing you, the user, to easily change handlebars, add DRS clutches and paddles. We use an injection molded chassis with a carbon, glass, and 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 increase overall anti-flex and a proper interface for the removable handles, the chassis features a metal spider interface on the inside and together it produces a rigid, non-flexible steering wheel where the handles can be changed or upgraded over time to help give yourself the steering wheel YOU want! For now, we have two different sizes, the default one that gives a perfect fit and grip for average sized hands and an XL version for larger hands.
The ergonomic grips are made from a comfortable, soft and durable silicone rubber, which is easy to clean and sanitize 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 the grips to quickly implement future updates in color, size, shape and hardness.
The front face of the wheel is made from a 2mm woven carbon plate that provides a beautiful home for all the buttons and switches.
With 128 individual input options, the Asetek SimSports® Forte® Formula Steering Wheel, via our RaceHub™, will give you the option to customize and assign all the buttons, switches, encoders, and paddles you need to be at the top of your game. With 12 buttons, two 2-way toggle switches, and two 7-way curly switches, three rotary encoders, and six thumb encoders, you’ll be able to control all the settings you want.
All buttons, switches and rotary switches meet the highest quality standards and are fully tested and validated on our automated button testing machines to ensure years and years of reliable daily use.
The Forte® wheel features no less than 49 fully customisable aRGB LEDs, including rev and flag lights, allowing you to not only personalise the look of your wheel, but also help you make those split-second decisions that can make the difference between success and failure. Of course, the LEDs can be adjusted, dimmed, colour-customised and mapped in RaceHub, with many more features to come. Each button and LED can be clearly marked using the provided sticker sheet, which provides a backlit label for each wheel function.
The rear features, as standard, two contactless magnetic shift paddles, for fast and fluid gear changes. Easily upgradeable to a double clutch for perfect race starts, as well as two additional assignable paddles that can, for example, be used for effortless overtaking and activating the DRS. All paddles and associated mechanics, like the wheel chassis itself, are injection-moulded from a rigid and ultra-light carbon composite material.
Featured: Speed is everything: Meet Quick Release
All Asetek SimSports® wheels feature our proprietary quick release system, which is as easy to use as shifting gears – literally, to disconnect the wheel from the base, all you have to do is press a paddle and the wheel is in your hands! Needless to say, we don’t rely on wireless signals, batteries that need to be charged, or cables that can break or fall off. It’s all included in our easy-to-use, play-free quick release.
Our relentless focus on performance and precision without breaking the bank gives the Asetek SimSports® Forte® formula wheel a competitive advantage, allowing you to step onto the track and be one with your virtual race car. Giving you the quality and durability you expect from Asetek.
