Know before you buy
This shifter is specifically engineered for the AP-Xtreme simulator chassis. While it features a cockpit-mount design, it is optimized for the mounting points and ergonomics of the AP-Xtreme system.
The RT-Spec is designed for PC compatibility. You will generally need to map the shifter inputs within your racing simulation software's controller settings to ensure proper gear recognition.
The shifter is built to provide a crisp, mechanical feel that mimics a real-world H-pattern gearbox. Its robust construction is intended to deliver a satisfying, positive engagement for every gear change.
The RT-Spec is strictly an H-pattern shifter. It is designed to provide an authentic manual transmission experience, so it does not support sequential shifting modes.
The unit is built with high-quality materials designed to withstand the repetitive, high-force inputs common in competitive sim racing. It is engineered for longevity and consistent performance over extended use.
