Know before you buy

The wheel features a polyurethane grip treated with a specialized coating. This design provides a tactile, textured feel that remains comfortable and secure even during extended periods of intense driving.
Yes, the 4.3-inch IPS display comes with 15 pre-installed dashboards. Because the wheel supports SimHub telemetry, you can also customize your data layouts to display the specific metrics you need most while racing.
Hall sensors use magnetic fields to detect movement, which eliminates physical contact points that wear out over time. This ensures your gear shifts remain crisp, consistent, and durable for years of heavy use.
The standard configuration includes magnetic shifter paddles. Clutch and option paddles are available as optional add-ons if you require extra inputs for advanced vehicle control.
The XF1 Sport-USB features a standard 70mm mounting hole pattern. This is the industry-standard size, making it compatible with the vast majority of quick-release systems and direct-drive wheel bases on the market.
