Description

Overview

The Asetek Forte Wheelbase brings direct drive force feedback to a compatible PC sim racing setup. With a stated maximum torque of 18 Nm and adjustable settings through RaceHub, it lets you tailor steering feedback to your preferences across different cars and racing scenarios.

Direct Drive Force Feedback

A direct connection between the motor and steering wheel delivers force feedback without a belt or gear transmission. The supplied specifications list 18 Nm peak and holding torque, with holding torque defined as continuous output for up to 40 seconds rather than an indefinite rating. A stated peak slew rate of 6.7 Nm/ms describes how quickly torque can change.

High-Resolution Position Sensing

A 22-bit absolute encoder tracks steering position. The supplied data lists an angular resolution of 0.000085° and approximately four million steps per revolution, supporting detailed position measurement without promising faster lap times.

Quick Release And Connectivity

The Asetek Racing quick release system allows a compatible steering wheel to be detached by pressing its release paddle. A five-port USB-C hub supports your connected setup. Third-party steering-wheel use requires the appropriate compatible quick release or adapter; compatibility should be checked for the chosen wheel rather than assumed.

Personalise Your Setup In RaceHub

RaceHub lets you create and save setup profiles and adjust steering range, bumpstop hardness and bumpstop range. Overall force, basic damping and basic smoothing controls help you configure how the wheelbase responds.

Configurable RGB Lighting

Four lighting zones each contain 21 RGB LEDs. Use RaceHub to configure the lighting, adjust brightness or switch the LEDs off entirely.

Aluminium Housing And PC Support

The wheelbase uses an anodised extruded aluminium housing and weighs 8.5 kg. Its dimensions are 133 mm high, 132 mm wide and 293 mm long including the quick release. The supplied platform specifications list PC support with Windows 10 and Windows 11.
