Asetek SimSports® Forte Direct-Drive Wheelbase (18 Nm)

Hit the sweet spot of power and precision. The Forte delivers up to 18 Nm of direct-drive torque with exceptional detail and smoothness—ideal for serious sim racers who want top-tier feel without going ultra-heavy. Built around Asetek’s high-resolution control and tuned through RaceHub, Forte translates tire grip, kerbs, and chassis weight shifts with incredible clarity.
