Asetek SimSports Forte S-Series Sim Racing Pedals – Brake & ThrottlevsSimagic P1000-2 Modular Pedals Set – 2-Pedal Load Cell / Hall Sensor, Fully Adjustable

The Bottom Line

The Asetek SimSports Forte S-Series delivers an ultra-stiff, high-force braking experience designed for maximum muscle memory. In contrast, the Simagic P1000-2 offers a highly modular platform built for deep customization and official ecosystem upgrades.

Watch out

The Asetek brake is extremely rigid out of the box with very short travel, which some drivers find too stiff to modulate comfortably. On the Simagic side, some users report load cell input drop-offs when using elastomers, and the pedal frame feels thinner than older heavy-duty sets.

Note

If you experience input fluctuations on the Simagic P1000-2, switching from elastomers to the official Simagic optional spring kit resolves the issue. For the Asetek pedals, the RaceHub software conveniently saves your calibration settings directly to the onboard EPROM.

Why choose Asetek SimSports Forte S-Series

8.5
Performance

  • Features a massive 180 kg load cell rating compared to Simagic's 100 kg limit, providing superior heavy-braking headroom.
  • The S-Series modular design allows you to mount the throttle and brake completely separately on your rig for perfect spacing.

Why choose Simagic P1000-2

8.3
Performance

  • Unmatched official upgrade path with easy integration for Simagic haptic reactors (HPR) and hydraulic kits.
  • Highly customizable feel with thousands of potential combinations to fine-tune travel and resistance.

The Verdict

Choose the Asetek Forte S-Series if you want a rock-solid, ultra-stiff brake with a massive 180 kg load cell and independent pedal mounting. Opt for the Simagic P1000-2 if you prefer a highly customizable pedal set that you can continuously upgrade with official haptic and hydraulic add-ons.
