Precision Performance

8 Nm holding torque with a maximum torque change rate of 4 Nm/ms, read by a 21-bit magnetic encoder, for fast and faithful response at the rim.

Skew-Pole Motor

A motor designed for sim racing rather than adapted to it, with ultra-low cogging torque and asymmetric dual processors for a smooth, quiet, natural steering feel.

CDR Quick Release System

Auto-locking for tool-free wheel swaps, with spring contacts that hold signal under electrical interference and an industrial-grade slip ring behind them.

Compact, Cool, Safe

A single-piece aerospace-grade aluminum housing at 134 x 150 x 196 mm and 5.9 kg, with real-time thermal monitoring and an optional CES E-Stop.

FAQ

Is 8Nm enough to feel like direct drive?
Yes. The difference between direct drive and a belt or gear base is detail and immediacy, not raw strength. At 8 Nm you get all of the first and plenty of the second, on a desk or a light rig.
Does it come with a quick release?
The base side is built in. The wheel-side CDR quick release is optional, so you can match it to the wheel you are running. Ask us and we will confirm which part you need.
Can I mount it to a desk?
Yes, with the ARES wheelbase desk mount. At 8 Nm a solid desk holds it comfortably, which is not true of the 20 Nm bases.

Why Simpatico

Bought, tested, and supported by people who actually race

We run this equipment on our own rigs before it goes on the site. That is why we can tell you which base a rim really fits, how a pedal set feels after fifty laps, and when something is not worth the upgrade. Fitment gets checked against your setup before anything ships.
