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.

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.
