Ascher Racing F64-SC V3vsSOELPEC – Spectra XR

The Bottom Line

The Ascher Racing F64-SC V3 is an ultra-sturdy, screenless formula rim built for pure tactile reliability. In contrast, the SOELPEC – Spectra XR is a premium, display-equipped wheel designed for maximum visual immersion and high-end ergonomics.

Watch out

The Ascher Racing F64-SC V3 can suffer from occasional missed paddle shifts due to static or low battery, and its rubber grips easily attract dirt. Meanwhile, the SOELPEC – Spectra XR requires a wired USB connection on non-Asetek bases, and its tiny central rotary encoder screws strip very easily if you are not careful.

Why choose Ascher Racing F64-SC V3

8.5
Overall Rating
  • Rock-solid chassis: The CNC-machined aluminum construction offers zero flex and exceptional durability for high-torque wheelbases.
  • Massive input capability: It provides a massive array of 64 inputs at a much more accessible price of $1,239.

Why choose SOELPEC – Spectra XR

9.2
Overall Rating
  • Integrated display and more buttons: The built-in screen integrates seamlessly with SimHub, complemented by 17 tactile physical buttons for on-the-fly adjustments.
  • Superior ergonomics and size: The larger 302 mm diameter and premium 50A overmolded silicone grips offer excellent comfort with or without gloves.

The Verdict

If you want a bulletproof, screenless wheel with a rock-solid aluminum build and do not mind managing a complex encoder setup, the Ascher Racing F64-SC V3 is an outstanding value at $1,239. However, if you want a larger 302 mm wheel with a gorgeous integrated display, superior silicone grips, and have $1,999 to spend, the SOELPEC – Spectra XR is the ultimate premium upgrade.
