Ultra-realistic and immersive force feedback
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.

Compact, anodized aluminium housing
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.
Includes Asetek SimSports Invicta quick release kit
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.

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.
