Complete your sim racing rig with the Asetek Forte wheel base and Gomez Sim Industries wheel combo.
When Asetek set out to develop a range of direct drive wheelbases, the goal was to develop the best sim racing wheelbases on the market.
That goal has well and truly been achieved. The focus on performance and precision gives Asetek Simsports wheelbases a competitive edge, allowing you to get down to the tarmac and be one with your virtual race car.
It also provides you with the quality and durability you have come to expect from Asetek. designed to last. Engineered, assembled, and tested in Denmark.
This bundle includes your choice of GSI wheel. Choose from the X-29, Hyper SL, GT-MAX32, or Hyper P1. Each of these high-end sim wheels bolts directly onto the Asetek Invicta wheelbase.
Asetek have pulled out all the stops when it comes to producing the Forte direct drive wheelbase. Partnering with market leaders Simucube and Mige, Asetek has developed a high-end servo motor.
After thousands of man-hours of development from the ground-up including electronics, software, firmware, mechanics, cooperation, design, test, and validation, the Forte 18Nm direct drive wheelbase is here. And it produces the most silky-smooth, immersive and realistic force feedback around.
Bolt this wheelbase to your rig and you won’t be able to wipe the smile off your face.
Gomez Sim Industries is a small company out of Texas that churns out some of the best high-end sim wheels you’ll lay your eyes on.
Choose your preferred wheel from the options above – X-29, Hyper SL, GT-MAX32, or Hyper P1. Each wheel is made from the highest quality materials and features multiple buttons and functions.
Each GSI wheel includes an AH50 hub to quickly and easily bolt your wheel to the Asetek quick release system.
All Asetek SimSports wheelbases provide smooth, super responsive, and precise feedback to the driver, where you will feel even the smallest bumps and curbs on the road.
For example, each of our wheelbases has a resolution of 0,000085 degrees or roughly 4,000,000 steps in just one revolution of the wheel. With an Asetek SimSports wheelbase you get a true high-fidelity driver experience.
The Asetek Forte direct drive wheelbase packs incredible specs and looks great, too.
The Forte housing is just 30cm long (including the quick release). So, not only is the Forte direct drive wheelbase amongst the most powerful and realistic direct drive wheelbases on the market, it’s also compact.
With front and side mount options, you can bolt this wheelbase to practically any racing cockpit including brands like Trak Racer and Next Level Racing.
Every Asetek wheelbase and wheel bundle includes the Asetek Invicta quick release kit. This unique quick release system allows you to plug your wheel into the wheel hub, thereby doing away with the old-school USB cable.
The Invicta Quick Release Adapter makes it possible to mount any steering wheel with a standard hole pattern (70 mm & 50.8 mm bolt patterns) on your Asetek SimSports Wheelbase.
To disconnect the wheel from the base, all you have to do is to press a paddle and the wheel will be in your hands.
The Invicta quick release system includes three hub lengths, 80 mm, 150 mm, and 200 mm and is made from high-quality aluminium.
Just plug your new Asetek wheelbase into your PC, fire-up the RaceHub software, calibrate your wheel and start racing.
RaceHub is easily the most sophisticated peripheral software on the market today. You can quickly and easily setup and save profile pre-sets, customize your settings to fit your car, track, and conditions. You can also adjust steering range, bump stop hardness, and bump stop range, adjust overall force, basic damping, and basic smoothing.

If you’ve clicked on this tab, you’re obviously looking for a reason or two on why you should shop for your gaming goodies at Gamer Gear Direct, rather than those other online stores.
And we’ll (not so) humbly say there are SEVEN reasons we think you should shop with us and not hand over your hard-earned cash at one of those big box retailers like Harvey Norman or JB Hi-Fi.
We’ll bend over backwards to ensure you are 100% happy and satisfied with your order and our world-class customer service. We want you to rave about your experience with us to your friends and family.
But we know that’ll only happen if we treat every customer like you’re the most important customer in the world. And you are! Without you we wouldn’t be in this business. We’ve only got to where we are today by treating our customers to a high level of service that you’ll rarely find online.
We’ll literally bend over backwards to ensure your experience with us is one you’ll shout about to your neighbour or mates at work. See, we’re not one of those big box electronics stores with a multi-million marketing budget. Those companies treat you like a number. Because they can afford to! They’ve got money coming out of their ears.
We’re different. We’re a small Aussie owned and operated business. Every single potential customer that hits our website is precious to us (that includes you). So, again, we’ll do everything we can to make sure you’re over the moon with your Gamer Gear Direct shopping experience.
Do you think Harvey Norman can promise that kind of service?
Probably not. In fact, I’d bet my house they won’t. But look, you don’t have to take my word for it. Here’s what our customers are saying about us…
Ashley Woolnough says: ‘I want to say a huge thank you to Blake and the team at Gamer Gear Direct. The service has been absolutely impeccable from the moment I first looked at items to the moment they were delivered. I bothered Blake quite a bit, but nothing was too much trouble and he went above and beyond to help me. 5-star service’.
Luke H. had this to say: ‘Amazing, Excellent Service. I'm very impressed. Well informed staff and good quality selection of Sim Racing gear. Staff even went above and beyond to answer a query regarding whether a certain set of pedals would properly mount to a specific cockpit by testing it themselves on my behalf. Delivery is ridiculous fast and free. Less than 24 hour delivery to Sydney NSW which is impressive. Definitely my go to place for all future gear'.
And this from Brendan: ‘Hands down the best online supplier in Australia atm. Customer service is above an beyond any other Australian company. Blake is always happy to try an keep the customer as happy as possible an with the best deal. I will be back...a forever shop and first stop when hunting any sim upgrade.’
That’s not an exhaustive list, either. There are plenty more happy customer stories we could share with you. But let’s move on to reason number two…
We’re around to support you and help you out with your questions and queries between normal business hours (Mon to Fri, 9am to 5pm).
We understand a lot of our customers (like you) are busy individuals.
Sometimes, you’ve only got time to peruse our website when you’re sitting down on the couch, chilling out after a hard day at work (maybe with a cold beverage in hand).
If you need a hand with anything, or you’ve got a question. Just tap on the live chat widget (at the bottom right of screen), email us (support@gamergeardirect.com.au) or call on (03) 9961 0240.

You'll find more details on our return policy HERE.
That doesn’t mean we’ll always beat the competition on price. Some of the big-name stores bulk up big time on products. We’re still competitive, but may not have the margin to beat them.
That aside, our prices are easily some of the cheapest you’ll find online. Plus, when you bundle several items together, we’re more than happy to chat about a bundle discount
Hit us up and we’ll chat more about price (you can open the chat widget at the bottom right of screen and start a conversation).
When you’re shopping online, you want your order delivered fast, right? We understand. That’s why 99% of our orders are shipped within one to two business days from the time you order.
Your order will usually arrive at your doorstep within 3 to 5 business days from the day you ordered. Doesn’t matter whether you order a 50kg racing simulator cockpit or a mousepad, we’ll make sure you get your order in super quick time.
We use the fastest couriers in the country to make sure you get your order in record time.
You can track your order the entire time, too. As soon as your order is on the way we’ll send you an email with tracking details, so you can keep your eye on where your order is the entire time.
Of course, if you have any questions or queries about your order simply email or call us and we’ll help you in any way we can.
Nothing worse than buying something online and it’s faulty, right?
We feel you.
That’s exactly why every item we stock is covered by a minimum 6-month warranty.
If the product you ordered from us doesn’t work right, simply return it to us and we’ll get it fixed for you under warranty.
Or if we can’t have it fixed, we’ll provide you with a replacement item as soon as possible.
Our shopping cart is fitted with SSL encryption.
What the hell does that mean, you ask?
Well, that simply means all your data is 100% secure when you shop on the Gamer Gear Direct website.
We don’t save or share any of your payment details. Nor are those precious details stored anywhere on our website.
So, there you have it. There are our 7 big reasons on why you should buy all your sim goodies from us and not the competition.
