The Forte wheelbase servo motor is developed by Simucube and Mige

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.

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.
