Conspit H.A.O Carbon Fibre Wheel Hub

Take control your way with the Conspit H.A.O (Hub, Alternative, Open) Carbon Fibre Wheel hub. Paired with a Conspit wheel rim or BYO 3rd party rim. Add it to a Conspit Ares wheel base or any base with a 3rd party quick release. It's your choice, your race. You choose. 

Features:

  • Full carbon fibre housing 
  • 2.99-inch display, 
  • 9 RPM LEDs
  • Illuminated buttons.

Buttons

  • 10 Buttons: The total of 10 buttons are illuminated and five different colours can be set: Purple, white, gold, red and green. The very firm and tactile buttons acknowledge each press with a flashing light.
  • 2 Funky-Switches: The two funky switches with aluminium caps are positioned so that you can operate them without having to take your hands off the steering wheel (especially on the CX295 Rim). Due to their relatively tall design, they are very easy to operate, but do not provide overly precise feedback.
  • 4 Thumb-Encoders: Conspit has attached a total of four aluminium thumb encoders to each corner of the hub. These have a light to medium trigger force and are easy to operate thanks to the strong rasterisation. The encoder at the bottom right is reserved for setting the display mode.
  • 2 Rotary-Switches: There are two rotary switches in the lower section of the hub, each with 12 positions (so each position corresponds to a freely assignable button). Here too, the caps are made of aluminium and the force required is in the medium to high range.
  • 2 Toggle switches: A two-way toggle switch is located relatively centrally on each side. During the review, these were assigned to FFB +/- and MFD +/-, for example.

Paddles

  • Shifter Paddles:  The two magnetic shifters are made of carbon (paddles) and aluminium (housing). They are also large enough for bigger rims and can be adjusted slightly in their position using slotted holes. The special highlight here: The end stop and thus the actuation travel can be adjusted using two grub screws. The shifting feel is clearly defined and, compared to other shifters, is of medium firmness. The noise development is comparatively quiet, but still not suitable for a living room.
  • Dual Clutch: Like the shifter, the double clutch is equipped with carbon paddles that provide a pleasant resistance via a spring. The paddles are asymmetrical (one paddle is longer) and can be mounted according to preference.
  • Swift-Triggers: A special highlight of the H.AO Hub are definitely the two push/pull paddles, which Conspit calls swift triggers. They are perfectly positioned and have a crisp trigger feel. They offer clear added value compared to normal additional paddles (which are usually placed below or above the other paddles) and significantly enhance the hub!

Software

Conspit Link offers various configuration options in addition to the possibility of firmware updates:

  • RGB-Settings: The colours of the buttons (Default, White, Off) as well as the functions (Pit Limiter, Shift Point Flash) and the trigger times of the RPM LEDs can be set here.
  • Paddles Settings: The four paddles can be calibrated here and the release point of the clutch can be set.
  • Launch Control: An interesting feature can be found in the Launch Control tab. Similar to the CPP.Lite pedals, a launch control can also be used here, which automates the launch with predefined values. 

 

Third-party manufacturers

The centre-mounted funkys and toggle switches can be easily removed from the hub thanks to the magnetic design, allowing the use of any steering wheels from other manufacturers with a 70mm bolt circle:

Conversely, the 70mm bolt circle of the Conspit rims makes them compatible with hubs from other manufacturers

Full Carbon Fibre Shell

Unlike fiber reinforced injection solutions, the H.AO HUB features a genuine full carbon fiber shell. The rear shell is crafted using carbon fiber prepreg molding process, aiming for rigidity, durability, and lightweight performance in line with steering wheels of real race cars.

All paddles are concealed within the shell, maintaining a sleek appearance while retaining depth and tactile sensation. The unique texture and luster of carbon fiber, paired with its rigid yet lightweight features, bestow exceptional quality and feel to the entirety.

Form Follows Function

The frontal layout discards complex curves and variations in shape, embracing a functional form. It employs multi-line frames to outline the frontal profile.

Outer guards of buttons and screen enrich the visual elements of the entire plane while distinctly delineating the distribution of button functions.

Swift-Triggers™

Breaking with tradition with dual-action push-pull levers, Swift-Triggers™ can be used as standalone buttons or combined to expand the possibilities of control and interaction.

POGO Magnetic Control Module

The 7-way switch and rocker switch integrated control module, compatible with CONSPIT original CX, DX, RX series steering wheels, is easily detachable to be compatible with a wider range of steering wheels.

Asymmetrical Dual Clutch Cams

The asymmetrical design meets the demands of competitive dual-clutch paddle shifters. The primary paddle shifter provides instant release, while the secondary paddle shifter provides precise clutch control. The two paddle shifters can be interchanged left and right to suit individual preferences.

ErgoTouch™ RGB

The ErgoTouch™ RGB button module has undergone meticulous evaluation and optimization in terms of keystroke and force, ensuring that each press produces perfect confirmation and feedback.

It will allow users to switch between rotary switch/encoder modes.

With a built-in 2.99-inch screen, it offers comprehensive information display and quick switching between different modes. A small footprint with big potential, enhancing your racing experience.

Select Your Quick Release

The Conspit HAO Hub includes the Quick Con 50/70mm Quick Release Adapter for easy attachment to the wheel base of your choice.  Note: Wheel Side Quick Release* required specific to your wheel base.  *Sold Separately.

Connect To Any Wheelbase: 

All Conspit wheels include a 50:70 Wired Quick Release Adapter with an aviation-grade USB wired connection, providing compatibility with all major 3rd Party 70mm Quick Release systems.
