Know before you buy
The DFP20 is compatible with any steering wheel that uses a standard 70mm PCD bolt pattern. You will need a compatible quick-release adapter to attach your rim to the stainless steel shaft.
The 22-bit optical encoder provides extremely high resolution, allowing the wheelbase to translate subtle track details and tire slip into precise force feedback. This level of detail helps you feel exactly what the car is doing, making it easier to catch slides and find the limit of grip.
No, the unit is designed with a premium CNC-milled aluminum housing that acts as a passive heatsink, and it includes a 400W fanless power supply. This ensures the wheelbase remains silent during operation while maintaining consistent performance during long sessions.
Yes, the DFP20 supports both front and bottom mounting options. If you are using a standard aluminum profile cockpit, you can use the front-mount configuration or purchase the optional bracket for bottom mounting to suit your specific rig layout.
This is an industrial-grade motor built for high-duty cycles, meaning it is designed to handle constant, high-torque loads without overheating or degrading. It offers a raw, unfiltered feel that is widely considered the gold standard for direct-drive sim racing.
The NextGen FFB software is designed to be powerful yet accessible. While it offers deep customization for advanced users to fine-tune their force feedback curves, the interface is straightforward enough that you can get up and running with a solid baseline setup quickly.
