DIRECT AXIAL ACTION MOTOR
With an Axial Flux motor, Direct Axial Drive is the next-generation Direct Drive motor for simracing, allowing perfect and clear movement of the wheel rim without gears.
The result: high-fidelity Force Feedback and sharper effects. Feel every detail instantly with greater precision and intensity.
NEXT GENERATION SENSATIONS
The constant 5 Nm torque has +100% overdrive capability to greatly increase its power and deliver super-amplified effects with an ultra-low latency of 5 ms.
HARMONY technology generates high-frequency vibrations to feel all the physics of the game, down to the smallest details. Soundtracks and screeching tires have never been so loud.
RACING BOARD SCREEN
Adjust settings and save profiles directly through the Race Dash screen. Over 10 settings are configurable, including the innovative GEAR JOLT to feel the gear shift on the rim*.
In games, Race Dash displays over 10 race information* such as speed, best time, position or race flags. *The list of compatible games is available on the Thrustmaster website.
REMOVABLE RIMS FOR SPORTS CARS
With a sporty and versatile design, the 30 cm rim with rubber grips adapts to all styles of simulation. Magnetic shifters with clear and precise actuation enhance the sporty driving style.
The multi-function encoder lets you freely assign 12 additional in-game actions to keep your favorite functions close at hand. Thanks to its extremely light design (811 g), you will really feel all the power of the engine!
SET OF SCALABLE METAL PEDALS
Raceline Pedals LTE (Long Term Evolution) features 2 pedals with H.E.A.R.T. sensors, ensuring precision and longevity. Customize the firmness of the pedals thanks to the different springs included and the 3 adjustment notches on the back of each pedal.
Non-slip pads stabilize the pedals on the floor. The pedals can be upgraded with a third Load Cell pedal thanks to the Raceline Pedals Upgrade Kit (sold separately, available soon).
