2 Venym Atrax PedalsvsVNM Lite Pedals Set – Professional Load Cell Sim Racing Pedal System

The Bottom Line

The Venym Atrax targets formula enthusiasts who crave long pedal travel and specialized ergonomics, but it comes at a steep premium. Meanwhile, the VNM Lite Pedals Set focuses on delivering exceptional structural rigidity and smooth actuation for a much more accessible price.

Watch out

The Venym Atrax has an internally wired USB 2.0 port that fails to work with standard USB C-to-C cables, requiring a USB A-to-C cable instead. Furthermore, some users have reported game-specific detection issues where the pedals are not recognized out of the box in titles like Le Mans Ultimate.

Note

While the VNM Lite is highly rigid, it is not compatible with VNM's official hydraulic damper kit upgrade. If you find the stock white elastomers too spongy under heavy braking, you will need to use stiffer springs or the official elastomer upgrade kit.

Why choose 2 Venym Atrax Pedals

7.2
Overall Score
  • The Formula-inspired design and long pedal travel are highly effective for precise trail braking.
  • The default ultra-stiff elastomer setup can be easily customized using the included softer elastomer kits.

Why choose VNM Lite Pedals Set

8.8
Overall Score
  • It offers incredibly smooth ball-bearing actuation and exceptional structural rigidity at a highly competitive $360.00 price point.
  • The light out-of-the-box throttle tension can be easily resolved with simple manual preload adjustments.

The Verdict

At $619.99 plus high shipping costs, the Venym Atrax is a tough sell for anyone who isn't strictly looking for a specialized formula layout with long travel. For most racers, the $360.00 VNM Lite Pedals Set delivers a far more reliable, rigid, and cost-effective experience.
