The Bottom Line

Choosing between these two aluminum profile cockpits comes down to whether you value a seamless, premium ownership experience or are willing to risk severe logistical headaches. While both frames deliver outstanding, flex-free rigidity under high-torque direct drive wheels, their execution and customer support are worlds apart.

Watch out

The 6S-120 V2 Sim Racing Chassis is plagued by a notorious reputation for terrible customer service, misleading "in-stock" statuses, and severe shipping delays. Buyers frequently report receiving incomplete bundles, with critical components like seats or accessories arriving weeks or even months after the main frame.

Note

The Next Level Racing® GT Elite features angled wheel uprights that can make mounting certain third-party accessories or positioning a monitor directly behind the wheel somewhat awkward. Additionally, the tall uprights may occasionally intrude into your field of view if you prefer a low-mounted monitor setup.

The Clear Winner: Next Level Racing® GT Elite Racing Simulator Cockpit – Wheel Plate Edition

The Next Level Racing® GT Elite Racing Simulator Cockpit – Wheel Plate Edition is the superior choice for drivers who want a premium, frustration-free build and a lighter overall footprint.

  • Lighter and easier to manage: At 34.5 kg compared to the 38 kg of the 6S-120 V2, it is easier to position and move in your space without sacrificing any structural integrity.
  • Flawless out-of-box experience: It features excellent build quality, premium packaging, and clear assembly instructions paired with official video guides, avoiding the incomplete shipments and poor documentation of its competitor.
