The brand new Asetek Simsports® Forte® Formula Steering Wheel boasts a sleek and minimalistic design inspired by Danish industrialism. Designed and produced in in Denmark, this wheel is built with deep precision and high attention to detail.

Programmable ARGB LEDs

One of the outstanding features of this wheel is the 49 programmable ARGB LEDs, which help to provide an immersive racing experience. The wheel is also equipped with 15 aRGB RevLEDs, 6 aRGB FlagLEDs, 12 Button ARGB LEDs, and 12 aRGB LEDs for the backlit rotary switches. All of these lights can be configured to your unique preferences.

Assignability

In addition, the wheel has 12 push buttons, 2 two-way toggle switches, 2 seven-way “kinky” switches (“kinky” is the Asetek equivalent of “funky”), 3 twelve position rotary encoders, and 6 thumb encoders. You’ll not be left wanting for more input options!

Another notable feature of the wheel is the 2 contactless magnetic shifter paddles, which can also be upgraded with additional paddles.

All buttons, switches, and rotaries on the steering wheel are of the highest quality and are rigorously tested and validated in automated machines for long-term, daily use.

Innovative reinforced composite chassis

The wheel also has an injection molded carbon fiber reinforced composite chassis with a laser etched forged carbon structure and 2 mm woven carbon fiber front face. The wheel also has exchangeable handles and an easy-to-use, no-play quick-release which ensures stable data and power transmission without the use of cables, batteries, or wireless signals.

What makes the Forte special is that the steering wheel has a metal “spider interface” that adds to its rigidity and prevents flexing. This also allows for the grips to be easily replaced or upgraded to personalize the steering wheel. Currently, two handle sizes are available: a standard size for average-sized hands and an XL size for larger hands. The XL size adds 4mm to the diameter of the wheel.

RaceHub

Asetek’s RaceHub software is designed for simple, visual customisation and ease of use. It allows full button, switch, encoder, and paddle custom mapping, so you can tailor the wheel to your specific needs and preferences. Additionally, the software has customizable Rev lights, Pit lane control and Pit limiter, Night mode, LED start-up sequence, Auto connection detection and Clutch configuration. This ensures you can make the most out of your wheel and get the best racing experience possible.

A: The Forte® Formula Steering Wheel has a 290 millimetre diameter. If you add the thicker grips, the wheel becomes 4 or 5 millimetres larger

Q: Are the grips stiff or softer?

Q: What can I configure in the software, RaceHub?
A:
