Palette MATCHES the existing Champion and Legend listings (Neil,\n   2026-09-09): theme blue #0277bd for accents on white, #4a90c4 muted, #c8e6f8 pill\n   borders, #d0e8f8 borders, #f0f7fd tint, #0d1b2a ink and dark bands, brand blue\n   #25B1FF on the dark band. Vero red was tried first and rejected: we do not use it.\n   Stat pills keep the CURRENT gold-standard SQUARED shape (6px radius, transparent\n   fill, tinted border) as on the TR120S V2, NOT the old 50px fully-rounded pill the\n   Champion and Legend bodies still carried.\n   No drop shadows and flat white behind product shots, per the standing rules. *\/\n\n.vmp-wrap * { box-sizing: border-box;

Nothing tells your body what the car is doing, which is why heavy braking in a sim feels like nothing at all. The Rival fixes that. Two motors behind the seat pull a 5-point harness against you with up to 60 kg of force, timed to the car's own physics, so braking pushes you into the belts, acceleration releases you, and kerbs and gear changes arrive as sharp hits through the shoulders. It bolts to the aluminium profile you already have and runs through SimHub.

In a real car, deceleration throws you into the harness and the belts push back on your chest and shoulders, and drivers read braking largely through that pressure. The Rival reproduces it by winding the shoulder straps in and out in time with the car's telemetry, so braking loads you up, acceleration releases you, and kerbs and gear changes arrive as distinct hits. On a static rig it is usually the single biggest step in immersion after the wheelbase itself.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eIs a belt tensioner the same as a motion platform?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"vmp-faq-a\"\u003eNo, and they are not really substitutes. A motion platform physically moves the rig, which is very good at transient movement like pitch, roll and impacts. A belt tensioner applies sustained pressure to your body, which is what long braking zones and steady cornering load actually feel like, and which motion platforms find hard because they run out of travel. Many high-end rigs eventually run both. If you want the rig to move, look at the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/vero-motion-champion-professional-grade-motion-simulation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eChampion Series\u003c\/a\u003e instead.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eHow strong is 60 kg of pull in practice?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"vmp-faq-a\"\u003eStrong enough that heavy braking genuinely presses you into the seat rather than tugging at your shoulders. The Rival's two motors deliver up to 30 kg each, 60 kg combined, through the shoulder straps. Force is adjustable in software, so most people set it well below maximum for everyday driving and keep the headroom for the heaviest braking events.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eWill I feel more than just braking?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"vmp-faq-a\"\u003eYes. Because the effects are driven from live telemetry through SimHub, the tensioner can respond to engine RPM, gear changes, kerbs, road texture, bumps and wheel lock as well as longitudinal load. The 250 mm per second response is what makes those smaller, faster events readable as separate hits rather than blurring into general movement. How much of each effect you run is up to you in SimHub.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cp class=\"vmp-faq-group\"\u003eSetup and compatibility\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eDo I need SimHub?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"vmp-faq-a\"\u003eYes. SimHub is what reads telemetry from your sim and drives the Rival's effects, so it is required rather than optional. The good news is that it is free, it is the most widely used telemetry tool in sim racing, and a lot of owners are already running it for dashboards or bass shakers. It also means the Rival works with any title SimHub supports rather than a fixed list, and that you can tune each effect to taste.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eDoes it work on PlayStation or Xbox?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"vmp-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The Rival is a PC device, because SimHub is Windows software and telemetry is what drives the effects.

The Rival connects to your PC by USB, not to your wheel base, so the brand of your base, wheel or pedals makes no difference at all.

In a real car, deceleration throws you into the harness and the belts push back on your chest and shoulders, and drivers read braking largely through that pressure. The Rival reproduces it by winding the shoulder straps in and out in time with the car's telemetry, so braking loads you up, acceleration releases you, and kerbs and gear changes arrive as distinct hits. On a static rig it is usually the single biggest step in immersion after the wheelbase itself.\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"Is a belt tensioner the same as a motion platform?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"No, and they are not really substitutes. A motion platform physically moves the rig, which is very good at transient movement like pitch, roll and impacts. A belt tensioner applies sustained pressure to your body, which is what long braking zones and steady cornering load actually feel like, and which motion platforms find hard because they run out of travel. Many high-end rigs eventually run both. If you want the rig to move, look at the Champion Series instead.\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"How strong is 60 kg of pull in practice?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Strong enough that heavy braking genuinely presses you into the seat rather than tugging at your shoulders. The Rival's two motors deliver up to 30 kg each, 60 kg combined, through the shoulder straps. Force is adjustable in software, so most people set it well below maximum for everyday driving and keep the headroom for the heaviest braking events.\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"Will I feel more than just braking?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Yes. Because the effects are driven from live telemetry through SimHub, the tensioner can respond to engine RPM, gear changes, kerbs, road texture, bumps and wheel lock as well as longitudinal load. The 250 mm per second response is what makes those smaller, faster events readable as separate hits rather than blurring into general movement. How much of each effect you run is up to you in SimHub.\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"Do I need SimHub?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Yes. SimHub is what reads telemetry from your sim and drives the Rival's effects, so it is required rather than optional. The good news is that it is free, it is the most widely used telemetry tool in sim racing, and a lot of owners are already running it for dashboards or bass shakers. It also means the Rival works with any title SimHub supports rather than a fixed list, and that you can tune each effect to taste.\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"Does it work on PlayStation or Xbox?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"No. The Rival is a PC device, because SimHub is Windows software and telemetry is what drives the effects.

The Rival connects to your PC by USB, not to your wheel base, so the brand of your base, wheel or pedals makes no difference at all.
