Asetek Sim Sports ClutchvsClubSport Pedals V3 Inverted

The Bottom Line

Comparing these hardware pieces comes down to your current rig setup, as the Fanatec ClubSport Pedals V3 Inverted is a complete three-pedal load cell system, whereas the Asetek Sim Sports Clutch is an add-on single pedal designed for existing Asetek base plates. Your choice hinges on whether you need a full inverted pedal assembly or are simply looking to expand an Asetek pedal set with a dedicated clutch pedal.

Watch out

The stock brake on the ClubSport Pedals V3 Inverted feels noticeably spongy out of the box, making Fanatec's official Brake Performance Kit a strongly recommended upgrade to get proper stiffness. For the Asetek Sim Sports Clutch, installation is surprisingly tedious because you must unmount the main pedal base and open the bottom casing to route the proprietary cable, while its tool-free adjustment bolts can back out over time if not tightened firmly by hand.

Why choose Asetek Sim Sports Clutch

7.4
Overall Score
  • The Invicta model delivers an authentic two-stage mechanical bite point that accurately mimics a real clutch release bearing.

Why choose ClubSport Pedals V3 Inverted

8.4
Overall Score
  • Provides a full three-pedal inverted layout straight out of the box, complete with a 90 kg load cell brake.
  • Features a heavy-duty metal build paired with reliable contactless Hall sensors on the throttle and clutch.

The Verdict

If you are already in the Asetek ecosystem and want a true mechanical bite point, adding the Invicta clutch model makes total sense despite the tricky cable routing. However, drivers seeking a complete standalone pedal set with inverted ergonomics and load cell braking will find the Fanatec ClubSport Pedals V3 Inverted to be the complete package, holding firm at its $449.99 price point over the last 90 days.
