Asetek SimSports Forte Formula Pro Steering WheelvsREXING FORMULA MAYARIS 2 CARBON FIBER FORMULA STEERING WHEEL (4 PADDLE VERSION)

The Bottom Line

The Asetek SimSports Forte Formula Pro and the Rexing Formula Mayaris 2 represent two entirely different design philosophies. While Asetek focuses on a rigid, tactile ecosystem wheel, Rexing delivers an ultra-premium, carbon-fiber input powerhouse.

Note

Asetek sells its wheel grips separately, which increases the initial purchase cost. Both wheels feature integrated displays, though their real-world visibility and utility vary based on mounting and design.

Why choose Asetek SimSports Forte Formula Pro

8.2
Overall Rating

  • Larger Diameter: The 300 mm diameter offers a wider, more stable grip compared to the 290 mm Rexing.
  • Tactile Controls: It features highly praised, premium tactile aluminum buttons and encoders on an exceptionally rigid chassis.

Why choose Rexing Formula Mayaris 2

8.5
Overall Rating

  • Massive Input Array: It dominates with up to 125 inputs and 7-way switches, making complex on-the-fly adjustments effortless.
  • Ultra-Lightweight Carbon Fiber: The hand-made carbon fiber body weighs only 1.15 kg while maintaining absolute rigidity.

The Verdict

The Asetek SimSports Forte Formula Pro is highly rigid and features excellent tactile aluminum buttons. However, you must tolerate loud magnetic shifters and a screen that sits too low for easy viewing.

The Rexing Formula Mayaris 2 offers unmatched input customization and an incredibly light carbon fiber frame. On the downside, its mini OLED screens feel gimmicky, and the soft thumb encoders lack precision when wearing gloves.
