Fanatec CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit
Best performance upgrade for sim racers seeking realistic, consistent braking control.
Upgrade your Fanatec CSL Pedals with the Load Cell Kit for a truly realistic braking experience. This kit replaces the standard brake pedal with a high-precision load cell, measuring pressure for more accurate and consistent braking. With adjustable brake force up to 60 kg, you can fine-tune the stiffness to your preference. The durable construction, featuring a steel pedal arm and reinforced composite housing, ensures longevity. Its modular design allows you to convert your 2-pedal set into a 3-pedal system by reassigning the original brake as a clutch. This upgrade offers a significant performance boost, bringing pro-level sim racing technology to your setup.

Know before you buy
The standard pedal uses a position sensor, whereas the Load Cell Kit measures the actual pressure you apply. This provides a firm, realistic resistance that mimics a real race car, allowing you to develop muscle memory for more consistent braking.
Yes. The kit includes a new load cell brake pedal, and the modular design allows you to move your original brake pedal to the clutch position, effectively upgrading your setup to a 3-pedal system.
The brake force is fully adjustable. You can fine-tune the stiffness through the Fanatec software to match your personal preference and the physical limitations of your rig.
Because the load cell requires significant pressure to operate effectively, it is highly recommended to mount the pedals to a sturdy racing rig or a fixed surface. Using it on a desk setup may cause the pedals to slide or lift during heavy braking.
The pedal arm is constructed from durable steel, while the housing is made of reinforced composite. This combination ensures the pedal can withstand the high pressure required for load cell braking without flexing.
