The Bottom Line

Asetek SimSports offers two distinct hardware upgrades: one unlocks wheelbase compatibility for your steering wheel, while the other fine-tunes the physical compression of your brake pedal. Choosing between them depends entirely on whether you need to bridge the gap to a non-Asetek wheelbase or fix the stiff, short-travel feel of your Asetek pedals.

Watch out

US buyers often face high shipping fees and import tariffs for the QR Adapter Plate due to frequent stock shortages on the domestic webshop. Additionally, Asetek's confusing marketing and lack of clear documentation make figuring out the exact required adapters a frustrating process.

Note

The QR Adapter Plate requires a third-party quick release to function, while the Elastomer Kit is a direct drop-in upgrade for Asetek's own pedal sets.

Why choose 3rd Party QR Adapter Plate

8.0
Utility Rating

  • Enables seamless integration of Asetek steering wheels with third-party wheelbases like Simagic, Moza, and VRS.
  • Built from solid aluminum with zero flex, ensuring a highly rigid and precise steering feel.

Why choose Asetek SimSports Elastomer Kit

7.5
Utility Rating

  • Significantly improves trail braking consistency and modulation by adding much-needed pedal travel.
  • Features a quick, tool-free swapping process to easily adjust your brake pedal resistance.

The Verdict

If you want to pair an Asetek steering wheel with a third-party wheelbase, the $39.00 QR Adapter Plate is a rigid, flex-free necessity despite its frustrating documentation and US availability issues. Meanwhile, the $49.00 Elastomer Kit is a must-have for Invicta, Forte, or La Prima owners looking to soften their stiff brake pedals and improve trail braking modulation.
