ASETEK INVICTA 27 NM DIRECT DRIVE WHEEL BASE – FORTE GT WHEEL BUNDLE
We welcome you to full immersion sim racing!
When we set out to develop our range of direct drive wheelbases, we wanted to develop the best sim racing wheelbases on the market measured on all parameters but without breaking the bank. We had greater aspirations than just reselling a standard industrial servo motor and then trying to adapt everything else around it. It was a tough task but like with our award-winning pedals and steering wheels, we started from a clean sheet.
We bought and implemented IP from market-leading vendors, we teamed up with Mige, a well-known motor supplier to sim racing, and after years of development of grounds-up electronics, software, firmware, mechanics, cooperation, design, test, and validation, we are now ready! Please meet the Invicta™ 27Nm, the 18Nm Forte®, and the 12Nm upgradeable La Prima™ wheelbases.
True to the spirit of our other products, at Asetek SimSports®, you will get the same quality, durability, engineering excellence – and most importantly – the same user experience, independent of whether you buy our entry-level La Prima™ series or our top-tier Invicta™ products. Each wheelbase from 12-27Nm features a high-end 22-bit encoder, slipring, and electronics providing an unrivaled driving experience, leaving cogging and lagging in ancient history. All vital parts are of course made of aluminum and steel.
All Asetek SimSports® wheelbases provide smooth, super responsive, and precise feedback to the driver, where you will feel even the smallest bumps and curbs on the road. As an example – each of our wheelbases has a resolution of 0,000085 degrees or roughly 4.000.000 steps in just one revolution of the wheel! In other words, with an Asetek SimSports® wheelbase, you do not have to choose between a true high-fidelity driver experience and a low price. You can get it all!
As all wheelbases are designed from the ground up, we have been able to develop an extremely compact and flexible form factor accommodating any rig and need. The wheelbase will serve as the central hub in your simulator, where you can connect your Asetek SimSports® pedals, wheels and future peripherals with up to 5 USB-S ports in the rear.
In its simplest mounting form (default from factory), the bases come with T-nuts pre-installed in bottom groves enabling the motor to slide back and forth in your rig without installing long and expensive steering wheel spacers that ultimately can compromise the life and reliability of your wheelbase. For all wheelbases, we have developed mounting options for any rig ranging from a table clamp solution, bottom mount, side mount and all the way to our integrated front mounts.
Many sim racers love to tinker with and show off their great rig, and therefore we have implemented up to six fully customizable aRGB LED strips – allowing you to match your wheelbase to the rest of your Asetek SimSports® equipment, team colors, or even the color of your fireproof racing underwear! Everything is managed by our central software RaceHub ™, which is also the home for your wheelbase, where you, in addition to all your other Asetek SimSports® equipment, can adjust the base and driving experience exactly to your preference!
All Asetek SimSports® wheelbases feature our own quick release that is as easy to use as shifting gears – literally, as to disconnect the wheel from the base, all you have to do is to press a paddle, and the wheel will be in your hands! Needless to say, we are not relying on wireless signals, batteries that need to be charged or cables that can break or fall off. Everything is included in our easy-to-use no-play quick release.
We do realize that many sim racers have personal preferences for their steering wheel and instead of locking you into a specific eco-system, we have teamed up with a number of leading wheel vendors that will offer native support for the Asetek SimSports® Direct Drive wheelbases, meaning you can rest assured that you will be buying into a flexible and ever-expanding ecosystem.
Our relentless focus on Performance and Precision without breaking the bank, gives the Asetek SimSports® wheel a competitive edge, allowing you to get down to the tarmac and be one with your virtual racecar. Also providing you with the quality and durability you have come to expect from Asetek. Designed to last. Engineered, assembled and tested in Denmark!

Asetek Forte GT Button Box
From track to trail: Introducing our Button Boxes, customize your experience by easily swapping rims to fit your preferred racing style. Rally, Touring or GT? The choice is yours!
Personalized Racing: The type of steering wheel you choose can significantly impact your experience. This is why we’ve designed a wide selection of rims, so you don’t have to compromise your performance. Each rim is designed with specific racing styles in mind, and knowing how to utilize them to your advantage is key. Whether navigating smooth tracks, mastering GT cars, tackling rally challenges, or executing a daring drift maneuver, there is a rim designed for your needs.
All the inputs you’ll ever need: With 112 individual input options, the Asetek Simsports® Forte® Button Box will give you all the options you need to take the lead and earn the win. Every button, encoder and switch is located within easy reach for simple on-the-go adjustments. All buttons and encoders are bindable, no matter if you need to activate DRS, adjust brake bias, and traction control, or turn on your windscreen wipers, we’ve got you covered.
Supporting additional paddles, you have everything you need to be on top of your game.
Designed for strength and rigidity: Most Steering wheels, Sim- or Real-racing get their strength and rigidity from the front face plate and the wheel rim, oftentimes in a closed construction, meaning that the wheel rim is fixed to the front face. The downside to this is that the handles are locked in size and design. We do not believe that “one size fits all” and therefore, we have designed our steering wheels to have interchangeable handles.
Sleek looks and High-Quality materials: To achieve maximum stiffness, we use an injection molded chassis with a composite material consisting of carbon, glass, and plastic. This material provides very high rigidity and strength. Featuring a sleek-looking forged carbon look exterior with a 2mm woven carbon front face plate, providing a beautiful home for all the buttons and switches.
Customizable LEDs for buttons, encoders, REV- and Flag-lights are everything you need and more in terms of personalization.
