Description
Simagic Alpha EVO Pro 18Nm Wheelbase is built for sim racers who refuse to compromise when it comes to raw strength and tactile feedback. With 18Nm of torque on tap, paired with an ultra-low inertia direct drive servo motor, this base doesn’t just respond—it reacts with character. Its crisp feedback, zero cogging sensation, and active cooling setup make it a serious tool for drivers who push hardware to the limit. It’s heavy, muscular, and absolutely dialed in.
What Sets the Simagic Alpha EVO Pro 18Nm Wheelbase apart?
-
Exceptional Torque Without Losing Feel The 18Nm motor delivers an undeniably muscular sensation, but what stands out is how it doesn’t overpower your finesse. Users consistently note that it’s not just strong—it’s coherent. You can feel bumps, kerbs, understeer loss, and brake lock with clarity. That makes it a top pick for those running heavy GT setups or simulating high-downforce open-wheelers where feedback needs to be both brutal and nuanced.
-
Zero Cogging With Ultra-Low Inertia The internal servo tech has matured with Simagic’s proprietary 5-pole design, and it pays off. Feedback comes through clean—without that gritty stepping you find in less refined bases. Combined with the zero cogging implementation, cornering transitions and sudden direction changes feel fluid. It’s not just about force—it’s about the absence of mechanical resistance where it shouldn't be. This puts it ahead of other 18Nm offerings that still carry that grainy torque texture.
-
Thermal Consistency Under Load A major advantage in long stints or endurance racing is that the Alpha EVO Pro doesn't back off when the heat’s on. The active cooling system doesn’t just keep temperatures in check—it preserves performance. Many users report completing multi-hour sessions with no torque fade. That makes this wheelbase ideal for competitive drivers who rely on consistent feedback lap after lap.
-
Expansion-Ready and Ecosystem Friendly The inclusion of 11 output ports supporting USB, CAN, and CAN FD means you're future-proofing your rig. Simagic’s design supports modular expansion with upcoming accessories like the Magdock dashboard, and its compatibility with standard 6x70mm bolt-pattern wheels adds welcome flexibility. It plays well with third-party setups and doesn’t lock you into proprietary nonsense.

Simagic Alpha EVO Pro 18Nm Wheelbase Compatibility
The Simagic Alpha EVO Pro 18Nm is built with hardware integration in mind. It supports all steering wheels with the standard 6x70mm bolt pattern, as long as you use a compatible quick release adapter. Thanks to its 11 output ports, you can connect a variety of accessories—dashboards, handbrakes, shifters, and other CAN-based devices. The integrated slip ring allows wireless signal and power transfer to supported wheels, making it cleaner and faster to use in modular setups.
This wheelbase is compatible with PC (Windows) only and requires SimPro Manager 2.1 software for configuration and firmware updates. On the software side, it integrates well with major racing sims including iRacing, Assetto Corsa, rFactor 2, Automobilista 2, and RaceRoom. Console support is not offered, so PlayStation and Xbox users will need to consider other options. But for PC racers, this base offers a deep ecosystem and customization tools without compromises.
