Complete your sim racing rig with the Asetek Forte bundle.
The Forte direct drive wheelbase delivers silky-smooth and super responsive feedback, letting you feel every bump and curve as you tear up your favourite tracks around the globe.
Equipped with a meaty 18Nm of torque, top-notch 22-bit encoder, slip ring, and state-of-the-art electronics, the Asetek Forte wheelbase smooths out any cogging and lagging, making them things of the past.
The included Asetek wheel in your chosen bundle is made to the same high-standard Asetek is renowned for and is designed to give you an edge on the virtual track.
Arguably one of the best direct drive wheelbases on the market today, Asetek have gone all out when developing the Forte direct drive wheelbase.
Partnering with market leaders Simucube and Mige, Asetek has developed a high-end, 18Nm servo motor.
The creation of the Forte wheelbase involved thousands of man-hours and development from the ground-up including electronics, software, firmware and mechanics.
The result? The Asetek Forte wheelbase delivers some of the smoothest, most immersive, and realistic force feedback you could wish for in your sim racing experience.
Every Asetek SimSports wheelbase is crafted to deliver unbelievably smooth, ultra-responsive, and incredibly precise feedback, letting you soak in every little detail of the track.
Imagine sensing every minor bump and even the most subtle shifts in road texture—that's the depth of realism Asetek injects into your driving experience.
Take, for example, the remarkable resolution of 0.000085 degrees, or about 4,000,000 steps per wheel revolution.
This level of detail turns the slightest movement into significant sensory feedback.
This heightened sensitivity means that every small tweak you make is precisely mirrored on the track, boosting your confidence to pull off exact manoeuvres and fine-tune your racing tactics.
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, Next Level Racing and more
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 set up and save profile presets, customise 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.
Step into the fast lane with Asetek's Formula and GT sim racing wheels, where unmatched precision meets exhilarating performance.
Designed for the true racing aficionado, these wheels are a fusion of advanced engineering and ergonomic excellence.
The Formula wheel, with its sleek, compact design, is tailored for those who crave the intense, high-speed world of Formula racing.
On the other hand, the GT wheels are perfect for those who want to jump behind the wheel of a rally or GT virtual vehicle.
The Asetek Forte Wheelbase + Wheel Bundle includes the Forte direct drive wheelbase, an Asetek SimSports wheel (choose between Formula or GT options), an Australian power supply, installation accessories, and a user manual.
The Asetek Forte Wheelbase delivers an impressive 18Nm of peak torque, allowing you to experience ultra-realistic force feedback and precise control on every track.
The bundle offers two wheel options: the Formula wheel, designed for high-speed precision in Formula racing, and the GT wheel, ideal for rally and GT racing with enhanced control and comfort.
The Forte Wheelbase uses advanced electronics, a high-quality 22-bit encoder, and a slip ring system developed in partnership with Simucube and Mige, ensuring silky-smooth, cogging-free, and lag-free performance.
Yes, the Forte Wheelbase is designed to integrate seamlessly into most racing cockpits, with front and side mount options available. It is compatible with popular brands like Trak Racer and Next Level Racing.
Absolutely. Using the RaceHub software, you can fully customize the force feedback, adjust steering range, bump stop settings, and even fine-tune damping and smoothing to match your racing preferences.
The Forte Wheelbase features a compact anodized aluminium housing, while the wheels are made from high-quality carbon fibre reinforced composite materials, ensuring durability and a premium feel.
The Asetek Forte Wheelbase + Wheel Bundle comes with a 2-year limited warranty, covering manufacturer defects and faults. It does not cover normal wear and tear or misuse, but Asetek will repair your items if any system failures occur during this period.

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.
The moment you buy anything (yes, anything!) from Gamer Gear Direct you’re automatically covered by our 30-day return policy.
Buy today and if your item is not performing as it should or is faulty just return inside those first 30 days, in 'as new' condition for a refund or exchange. Please note that our return policy does not cover 'change of mind' purchases.
On top of our 30-day return policy, you’re also covered by a manufacturers’ warranty. Every product we sell is covered by a MINIMUM 6-month warranty (most are covered by a 1 year or better warranty).
When you buy from us, you’re buying top quality, brand name products (no crap ‘grey import’ products here), that’ll do exactly what they say on the box.
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.
Remember, we are always happy to chat with you at any time. You can open a live chat (at bottom right of screen). Email us at support@gamergeardirect.com.au or give us a call on (03) 9961 0240.
