What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly view the Asetek SimSports Forte pedals as a premium, performance-enhancing upgrade, positioning them firmly in the high-end enthusiast category. The sentiment centers heavily on the exceptional engineering and robust construction; users frequently highlight the CNC machined aluminum components, which contribute to a feeling of uncompromising durability and stiffness, essential for high-force braking. The centerpiece of the system, the M.L.C.P.C. (Mechanical Load Cell Powered Cylinder) brake pedal, receives near-universal praise for delivering a highly realistic and consistent feel, allowing drivers to build crucial muscle memory for trail braking. This consistency is often cited as the primary factor leading to improved lap times and driver confidence. The throttle pedal is also commended for its smooth, precise action and high degree of adjustability, enabling fine-tuning of the pedal curve through the intuitive RaceHub software. While the price point places these pedals firmly in the enthusiast category, the consensus is that the performance gains and longevity justify the investment, positioning the Forte pedals as a top-tier choice for serious sim racers looking for professional-grade fidelity and reliability. Minor critiques occasionally touch upon the necessity of a very sturdy rig to handle the maximum brake force, but these are generally seen as inherent requirements of high-end load cell pedals rather than product flaws, confirming high satisfaction across the user base.
Know before you buy
The Forte pedals use a mechanical load cell to simulate the firm, progressive resistance found in real race cars. It provides a consistent, high-pressure feel that allows for precise trail braking and muscle memory development.
You can fully customize your ergonomics by adjusting the pedal angle, spacing, and spring tension. This allows you to tailor the pedal geometry to match your specific rig setup and personal comfort preferences.
No, the brake system is designed to be zero-maintenance. Its robust, all-metal construction ensures long-term reliability without the need for frequent adjustments or part replacements.
The Asetek SimSports Forte pedals are designed exclusively for PC use via Windows. They connect directly to your PC via USB or through a compatible Asetek SimSports wheelbase.
RaceHub is the central interface for calibrating your pedals and fine-tuning their performance. It allows you to adjust deadzones, customize the brake curve, and update firmware to ensure your inputs are as precise as possible.
While the brake uses a load cell for pressure-based resistance, the throttle utilizes a contactless magnetic Hall Effect sensor. This technology ensures highly accurate, smooth input tracking that won't degrade or become noisy over time.
