Asetek Forte Formula Wheel

Inspired by real-life Formula cars, the Asetek SimSports® Forte® Formula Steering Wheel is crafted for ultimate performance.

Equipped with 128 individual input options, the Forte wheel allows you to customize and map all buttons, switches, encoders, and paddles to create the steering wheel that fits you the best.

To reinforce the overall anti-flex and create a proper interface for the removable handles, the chassis features a metal spider interface. This guarantees a rigid, non-flexing steering wheel that allows you to change handles over time, ensuring the wheel always suits your needs perfectly. 

Ergonomic and Functional Design:

  • Comfortable Silicone Rubber Handles: The handles are made of durable, soft silicone rubber, which provides optimal grip and comfort. They are easy to clean and can be easily customized for future upgrades, such as color, size, shape and hardness.
  • 2mm Woven Carbon Fiber Front: The front of the handlebar is made of light but strong carbon fiber, making the handlebar both stylish and functional. It provides enough space for the buttons and switches without compromising the sturdiness of the design.
  • Customizable Settings: Thanks to the Asetek SimSports® RaceHub™ software you can easily adjust all settings to optimally tailor your steering wheel to your preferences, whether pushbuttons, switches, encoders or paddles.

Vervent Simracer Functionality:

  • 49 Programmable ARGB LEDs: The steering wheel features 49 customizable ARGB LEDs, including speed lights, flag lights and button illumination. The lights can be easily dimmed, changed color, and in RaceHub™ you can fully customize and map them for a completely personalized experience.
  • Full Assignment of Buttons and Switches: With 12 push buttons, 2 two-way toggle switches, 2 seven-way kinky switches strong>, 3 rotary knobs and 6 thumb encoders you have 128 individual input options that you can configure to your own wishes. This offers you the opportunity to easily and quickly operate all functions of your simulator, from pit stop control to dynamic steering settings.
  • Contactless Magnetic Shift Paddles: The contactless magnetic paddle shifters provide speed and precision when shifting, significantly improving steering wheel responsiveness. You can even upgrade to a dual-clutch system, ideal for performing perfect starting procedures and strategic overtaking actions.

Premium Build Quality:

  • Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composite Chassis: The steering wheel is constructed with injection molded carbon fiber reinforced composite, resulting in an ultra-light and rigid< /strong> construction that is robust enough for intensive use. The laser-etched carbon structure on the back increases both the strength and aesthetics of the design.
  • Automotive Grade Pressure Sensors: The steering wheel uses 16-bit electronic resolution and automotive grade pressure sensors to ensure accurate input and response, even under the toughest racing conditions.

Dynamic Software Features:

  • RaceHub™ Software: The RaceHub™ software allows you to easily adjust your settings, including the assignment of buttons, switches and encoders. In addition, it offers the possibility to adjust Rev lights, set the pit lane control and pit limiter, and a night mode for an even more immersive experience.
  • Automatic Connection and LED Start-up Sequence: The software offers automatic connection detection so you can get started quickly and hassle-free. When starting up your rig you will see an LED start-up sequence that further enhances the aesthetics of the handlebars.
