What customers say
Customer sentiment regarding the Asetek SimSports Invicta Pedals is overwhelmingly positive, positioning them firmly in the elite tier of sim racing peripherals. Users consistently highlight the exceptional build quality, noting the robust, CNC-machined aluminum construction that inspires confidence even under maximum braking force. The defining feature, the hydraulic brake system (or high-end load cell equivalent), receives widespread acclaim for delivering an incredibly realistic and consistent pedal feel, often described as transformative compared to traditional load cell or potentiometer setups. Racers appreciate the high degree of adjustability, allowing for precise tuning of pedal throw, stiffness, and angle to match individual driving styles using the intuitive RaceHub software. While the price point is acknowledged as premium, the consensus among serious sim racers is that the performance gains and durability justify the investment, viewing the Invicta pedals as an 'end-game' solution that significantly enhances immersion and consistency. Minor critiques occasionally surface regarding the initial complexity of setup or the requirement for a very stiff mounting solution to handle the high forces (up to 200kg), but these are generally seen as necessary trade-offs for professional-grade performance. Overall, the Invicta pedals are celebrated for their precision, realism, and contribution to faster, more consistent lap times, making them a top recommendation for competitive sim racers.
Know before you buy
The T.H.O.R.P. system uses actual hydraulic fluid dynamics to simulate the resistance and pressure build-up found in real race cars. Unlike standard load cells that rely on rubber elastomers, this system provides a more authentic two-stage feel that mimics the physical behavior of a real brake master cylinder.
Yes, the pedals offer significant flexibility, allowing you to adjust the distance between the throttle and brake by up to 400 mm. This ensures you can find the perfect ergonomic setup for your specific foot placement and heel-and-toe technique.
Absolutely. You can customize both the pedal hardness and the travel distance by up to 40% to match your preference. Whether you prefer a short, stiff pedal for formula cars or a longer, more progressive feel for GT racing, the mechanical adjustments allow for a highly personalized setup.
While these pedals are designed for high-end rig mounting, they are versatile enough to be used with a desk clamp or in a floor-standing configuration. However, given the 185 kg maximum pedal force, a sturdy, rigid mounting surface is highly recommended to prevent the pedals from moving during heavy braking.
All adjustments, including deadzones, pressure curves, and RGB lighting on the integrated heel rest, are managed through the Asetek RaceHub software. The system is plug-and-play, meaning once you connect via USB, the software provides an intuitive interface to calibrate your preferences.
The Invicta pedals connect via USB, making them compatible with virtually any PC-based sim racing setup. Because they function as a standalone USB device, they can be used alongside steering wheels and shifters from other brands.
