Wheel Bases

Asetek direct-drive wheelbases in three tiers. Every base uses the Asetek Racing Quick Release and is set up through the RaceHub software.

How to choose
  1. Platform first. PlayStation: the T598 is the only base here that runs on it. Xbox: a MOZA R12 V2, R16 Ultra or R25 Ultra with the ESX wheel. PC: any of them.
  2. The wheel you want picks the brand. MOZA wheels need a MOZA base; Asetek wheels an Asetek base (the RaceView display wheels a Forte or Invicta); Thrustmaster wheels, including the Ferrari licensed SF-25 and 488 GT3, a Thrustmaster base. Cube Controls wheels and the Heusinkveld One go on a MOZA or Asetek Racing base with an adapter we add; Cube Controls wheels bolt straight to a VNM x Cube Controls base.
  3. Compare torque like with like. MOZA R9 and R12 are rated at peak, the Ultras sustained, Thrustmaster constant, Asetek Forte and Invicta at a level held for up to 40 s, and the Initium and the VNM x Cube Controls bases at max. 12 N·m peak is not 10 N·m constant, and more torque is headroom, not a setting you must run.
  4. Budget the path, not just the base. The five MOZA bases, from $299 to $899, share one wheel family. The Initium steps up to 8 N·m with the $89 Boost Kit.
  5. For shared rigs, check the stop. Asetek’s Torque OFF box, the T818’s force-feedback button, or MOZA’s E-stop port; hands-off protection on the R12 V2, R16 Ultra and R21 Ultra. Thrustmaster rates the T818 for home use, 21 and up.

Where Asetek Racing fits: Asetek publishes slew rate, holding time and slip-ring life, and puts a torque cut in the box on Forte and Invicta. PC only; you pay more per N·m than with MOZA.

How torque is rated. 12 N·m peak is not the same as 10 N·m constant. More torque is headroom, not a setting you must run.

How these features work (2)

Stopping the force. How each product cuts the force, for shared rigs and first-time drivers.

  • Torque OFF box in the box: Asetek Forte and Invicta.
  • Force-feedback off button on the base: Thrustmaster T818.
  • Start/Stop torque button on the wheel: Asetek Initium wheel.
  • E-stop port on every MOZA base, for the MOZA E-Stop switch.
  • MOZA E-Stop: cuts the force while pressed (USB or DASH port), or all power (E-STOP port).
  • Hands-Off Protection on the R12 V2, R16 Ultra and R21 Ultra: centers the wheel and damps oscillation when you let go.
  • MOZA HMA150: built-in E-stop; it lowers slowly on power loss.
  • EMC stop button in the box: VNM x Cube Controls bases.

Quick release and power. A wheel goes on the base family it was made for. Wheels on a standard hub use an adapter we add.

Asetek Invicta Wheelbase

Asetek Invicta Wheelbase

27 N·m Direct-Drive Wheelbase

$1,449

Asetek's flagship base with 27 N·m of peak torque and a 22-bit absolute encoder. Built for drivers who want maximum detail and headroom at the top of the range.

What sets it apart
  • 27 N·m, held for up to 40 s, with a 9.4 N·m/ms slew rate.
  • Headroom: Asetek’s point is that running below the maximum keeps curb and texture detail clear instead of compressed at the top of the range.
  • Same torque-off box, 22-bit encoder, 200-million-rotation slip ring and USB-C hub as the Forte.

Good to know: 11.3 kg. Asetek says desk clamps and wheel stands are not suitable; it needs a rigid rig such as Core or Grand.

Steering Wheels & Button Boxes

Wheels and button boxes that clip onto any Asetek base through the Asetek Racing Quick Release. Button boxes need a rim or handles, which are sold separately.

How to choose
  1. Your base decides the brand. MOZA on MOZA, Asetek on Asetek, Thrustmaster on Thrustmaster. Cube Controls and the Heusinkveld One use a standard hub: we add the adapter on MOZA or Asetek Racing bases; Cube Controls wheels bolt straight to a VNM x Cube Controls base. They are not offered on Thrustmaster.
  2. Console? Xbox: the MOZA ESX on a supported MOZA base. PlayStation: a Thrustmaster wheel on the T598; the GT Wheel adds PlayStation buttons and is mapped for you in Gran Turismo. Everything else is PC.
  3. The cars you drive set the rim shape. Formula, about 270–300 mm: open-wheel. Butterfly or D, 300–325 mm: GT. Round, 320–340 mm: road, rally and drift. The oval Hypercar: Le Mans prototypes. 400 mm: trucks.
  4. Screen or lights? Screens run from 2.85 in to 5.4 in. LED-only wheels often cost less and pair with a dash such as the MOZA CM2 or an on-screen overlay.
  5. Clutch and power. For standing starts, pick dual clutch paddles with a bite point. Wheels powered through the quick release never need charging; the wireless ones (Heusinkveld One, Cube F-PRO, F-CORE EVO, GT PRO V2, Mercedes-AMG edition) do.

Where Asetek Racing fits: Modular: one button box takes swappable GT rims or formula handles, with power and data through the quick release. PC only.

Pedals

Asetek pedals range from Hall-sensor entry sets to the hydraulic T.H.O.R.P. brake, which recreates the two-stage feel of a real race car brake. S-Series sets split brake and throttle into separate adjustable units.

How to choose
  1. What do you play on? PlayStation: the Raceline Pedals III LC through the T598. Xbox: MOZA CRP2 through a MOZA base, depending on the game. PC: all of them; Asetek, Heusinkveld, the mBooster and the Cube Controls SP01 Core are PC only.
  2. Compare brake force at the pedal, not the load-cell size. Heusinkveld Sprint: up to 65 kg (120 kg cell). Heusinkveld Ultimate+: up to 140 kg (200 kg cell). Thrustmaster: 25–100 kg. Asetek Forte and Invicta: up to about 180 kg. MOZA states the cell range (SRP2 0–100 kg, CRP2 0–200 kg), not the force at the pedal.
  3. Pick the brake feel. Load cell with springs or elastomers: MOZA, Thrustmaster. Two-stage with a hard wall: Asetek Forte. A spring, then rubbers that firm up: Heusinkveld Sprint. Real hydraulic pressure: Asetek Invicta. Hydraulic damping: Heusinkveld Ultimate+. Feel set in software: MOZA mBooster.
  4. Want to feel ABS in your foot? The PHF kit ($39) vibrates SRP2 or CRP2 pedals; the mBooster moves the pedal itself. Nothing else here does this.
  5. Clutch and layout. Three pedals in the box: Thrustmaster, Sprint 3, Ultimate+ 3. Add a clutch later: MOZA, Asetek S-Series and T.H.O.R.P. II, Heusinkveld. Separate pedal units: Asetek S-Series. Hanging pedals: the CRP2 inversion kit. Upgrade later: the Initium kits.

Where Asetek Racing fits: From the $119 Initium with upgrade kits to the two-stage Forte and the hydraulic Invicta. PC only.

How to choose

How to choose a shifter

  1. Your cars. H-pattern for road, classic and trucks: the HGP. Sequential for GT and rally: the SGP, MagShift and MagShift Mini. Both: the Asetek Dual Mode and the TH8A.
  2. Feel. A spring or damper you tune: the SGP damper, TH8A resistance, Asetek throw length. A magnetic click with a set force up to 11 kg: Heusinkveld.
  3. Console. The TH8A, through the T598 on PlayStation. The rest are PC.
  4. Space. The MagShift Mini is the compact one, the SGP mounts forward or reversed, and the Asetek fits left- or right-hand drive.

Where Asetek Racing fits: One unit for H-pattern and sequential, with an adjustable throw.

How to choose a handbrake

  1. Force or position. A load cell reads how hard you pull: Asetek, Heusinkveld. The MOZA HBP and the Thrustmaster TSS read how far the lever moves.
  2. Double duty. The TSS is also a sequential shifter; the Asetek has a digital (button) mode.
  3. Console. The TSS only, through the T598 on PlayStation.
  4. Mounting. All four mount vertically or horizontally. Heusinkveld adds 26° of fine tuning; Asetek fits left- or right-hand drive.

Where Asetek Racing fits: 200 kg load cell; analog or digital (button) mode.

Handbrake: load cell. Reads how hard you pull, not how far the lever moves.
