Know before you buy
A 12Nm peak torque provides a significant step up from entry-level gear-driven or belt-driven bases. It offers enough strength to feel detailed road textures and high-speed cornering forces without requiring the intense physical conditioning needed for professional-grade 20Nm+ bases.
No, the SIMAGIC EVO 12nm is sold as a base-only unit. You will need to purchase a compatible SIMAGIC steering wheel and a mounting solution, such as a desk clamp or aluminum profile rig, separately.
Direct Drive technology connects the motor directly to the steering shaft, eliminating the lag and mechanical friction found in belt or gear systems. This results in immediate, unfiltered force feedback that allows you to react to understeer and oversteer much faster.
The EVO is designed for PC-based sim racing and is compatible with all major racing titles, including iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, and rFactor 2. Ensure your PC meets the software requirements for the SIMAGIC driver suite to manage your force feedback settings.
While the base itself is compact, you should ensure your rig or desk is sturdy enough to handle the 12Nm of force. We recommend a rigid aluminum profile cockpit or a high-quality, heavy-duty desk mount to prevent unwanted flex during intense racing sessions.
