Simucube has unveiled its Simucube 3 series, marking the next generation of direct-drive wheelbases after the long-running success of the Simucube 2. Rather than focusing solely on higher torque figures, the new lineup prioritises reliability, fidelity and ease of use, with three models announced: Simucube 3 Sport, Simucube 3 Pro, and the forthcoming Simucube 3 Ultimate. The Finnish-engineered system aims to set a new standard in force feedback performance while addressing key user-experience improvements.
The Simucube 3 range introduces a suite of hardware and software upgrades. Each wheelbase is designed with new servo motors and control algorithms that deliver sharper, quieter and more precise force feedback than previous generations. A redesigned quick-release system with wireless power and data transfer reduces cabling while improving reliability, and the refined telemetry support better conveys in-game tire, surface and vehicle dynamics through the wheel. Across the lineup, torque outputs span from approachable (15 Nm on Sport) to pro-level (25 Nm on Pro) and up to extreme performance (35 Nm on Ultimate), giving racers tailored force feedback options.
The new ecosystem also leans on Simucube Link Hub hardware and Tuner 3.0 software, enabling on-the-fly adjustments and advanced tuning without exiting the sim. The platform’s open architecture has already attracted third-party manufacturers planning compatible wheels and peripherals, hinting at a broader ecosystem strategy.
For serious racers chasing the most responsive and lifelike wheelbases on the market, Simucube 3 represents a significant evolution in direct-drive technology, blending industrial build quality with improved user experience and ecosystem scalability. Its range of torque options and refined feedback systems aim to satisfy both hardcore competitors and enthusiasts seeking premium feel and control.
Racers evaluating wheelbases alongside Simucube 3 have strong alternatives from both Simagic and MOZA Racing. Simagic’s Alpha EVO Ultra bases offer up to 28 Nm of torque with advanced motor control and telemetry-linked RGB feedback, while the broader Alpha lineup provides modular options across torque tiers. Similarly, MOZA’s R21 Ultra and R25 Ultra True Torque wheelbases deliver 21 Nm and 25 Nm of sustained torque respectively, with high-resolution encoders and ecosystem support that appeal to performance-focused setups. These options offer varied feature sets and price points for racers not fully aligned with Simucube’s premium positioning, making them worthy contenders when building a high-end rig.
