Asetek's wheelbase lineup forces a choice between the raw, uncompromising power of the flagship Invicta and the entry-level accessibility of the La Prima. While one targets professional-grade headroom, the other serves as a budget-friendly gateway into the brand's ecosystem.
Some Invicta users have reported occasional hardware defects like clicking noises, power supply failures, or firmware-related force feedback dropouts. Fortunately, Asetek's customer support is widely commended for being fast and helpful with RMAs.
Both wheelbases share the same Asetek ecosystem, meaning you can easily upgrade the La Prima base within its own ecosystem later on. Additionally, while Asetek's native steering wheels suffer from polarizing aesthetics, their quick-release adapter makes third-party wheel integration seamless.
If you demand absolute peak performance and have the budget, the Invicta 27Nm is a powerhouse that delivers class-leading detail. For everyone else, the La Prima 12Nm provides a highly capable entry point that leaves room for future ecosystem upgrades.
