6S-160 V2 Sim Racing ChassisvsP1X Ultimate simracing cockpit

The Bottom Line

The 6S-160 V2 Sim Racing Chassis and the P1X Ultimate simracing cockpit both offer top-tier, zero-flex rigidity for high-torque direct drive wheelbases. However, they differ drastically in assembly user-friendliness and manufacturer support.

Watch out

The 6S-160 V2 suffers from frequent community complaints regarding poor customer service, shipping delays, and outdated assembly instructions. Additionally, users report that the optional 6 Sigma bucket seats can be uncomfortable during long racing sessions.

Note

While the P1X Ultimate is highly praised, some users note minor assembly annoyances like tight threading on pre-drilled holes due to the paint coating. Sim-Lab includes a thread cleanup tool to resolve this issue.

Why choose 6S-160 V2 Sim Racing Chassis

7.5
Overall Rating
  • Lighter chassis weight at 50 kg compared to the 55 kg P1X Ultimate, making it slightly easier to maneuver during setup.

Why choose P1X Ultimate simracing cockpit

9.2
Overall Rating
  • Significantly faster and easier assembly process due to pre-drilled holes, sandwich plates, and optimized brackets.
  • Straight vertical uprights make mounting accessories like button boxes and keyboard trays incredibly straightforward.

The Verdict

If you want a lighter frame and can tolerate poor customer support, the 6S-160 V2 delivers excellent rigidity once built. However, the P1X Ultimate is the superior premium choice, offering a painless assembly experience and highly practical vertical uprights.
