Asetek Forte Formula Steering Wheel

The Asetek Simsports Forte Formula Steering Wheel is a top-of-the-line sim racing wheel that has been designed with input from professional racers and sim racers alike. Asetek’s  goal was to create a sim steering wheel that can offer the realism of real-life racing while incorporating feedback from sim racing enthusiasts to produce a high-end sim racing experience at a reasonable price. The result is a high-quality wheel that offers the best possible sim racing experience without breaking the bank.

The brand new Asetek Simsports Forte Formula Steering Wheel boasts a sleek and minimalistic design inspired by Danish industrialism. Designed and produced in in Denmark, this wheel is built with deep precision and high attention to detail.

Programmable ARGB LEDs

One of the outstanding features of this wheel is the 49 programmable ARGB LEDs, which help to provide an immersive racing experience. The wheel is also equipped with 15 aRGB RevLEDs, 6 aRGB FlagLEDs, 12 Button ARGB LEDs, and 12 aRGB LEDs for the backlit rotary switches. All of these lights can be configured to your unique preferences.

Assignability

In addition, the wheel has 12 push buttons, 2 two-way toggle switches, 2 seven-way “kinky” switches (“kinky” is the Asetek equivalent of “funky”), 3 twelve position rotary encoders, and 6 thumb encoders. You’ll not be left wanting for more input options! Another notable feature of the wheel is the 2 contactless magnetic shifter paddles, which can also be upgraded with additional paddles. All buttons, switches, and rotaries on the steering wheel are of the highest quality and are rigorously tested and validated in automated machines for long-term, daily use.

Innovative reinforced composite chassis

The wheel also has an injection molded carbon fiber reinforced composite chassis with a laser etched forged carbon structure and 2 mm woven carbon fiber front face. The wheel also has exchangeable handles and an easy-to-use, no-play quick-release which ensures stable data and power transmission without the use of cables, batteries, or wireless signals.

What makes the Forte special is that the steering wheel has a metal “spider interface” that adds to its rigidity and prevents flexing. This also allows for the grips to be easily replaced or upgraded to personalize the steering wheel. Currently, two handle sizes are available: a standard size for average-sized hands and an XL size for larger hands. The XL size adds 4mm to the diameter of the wheel.
