Know before you buy
The IPM (Interior Permanent Magnet) motor is an industrial-grade component engineered specifically for this unit to provide faster response times and higher efficiency. It allows for a more refined force feedback delivery that is both more powerful and quieter than traditional servo motors.
35 Nm provides significant headroom, allowing you to run high-load forces without the motor clipping or losing detail. While it is certainly professional-grade, the primary benefit is the ability to experience subtle road textures and grip cues with extreme clarity, even when not running at maximum power.
The unit is designed for flexibility and supports both front and bottom mounting configurations. It includes versatile adapter options to ensure it can be integrated into most high-end aluminum profile rigs without needing custom fabrication.
The next-generation algorithms process telemetry data more rapidly and accurately than previous iterations. This results in a more immediate connection between the game's physics and your hands, making vehicle behavior and surface changes feel more intuitive and responsive.
Yes, the re-engineered electronics and the specific design of the IPM motor significantly reduce operational noise. It is built to run whisper-silent, even during intense sessions where the motor is under high load.
