SOELPEC Spectra XR fully customizable RGB illumination with telemetry-driven light animations

5-inch touchscreen, 23 LEDs and full RGB

The integrated 5-inch touchscreen runs a live telemetry dashboard, framed by 23 configurable LEDs for rev lights, flags and other telemetry signals. Buttons and encoders are RGB-illuminated, every zone's color is adjustable, and the lighting can be mapped to telemetry-driven animations.

Everything runs through SimHub: select the Spectra XR in the devices section and all display and lighting functions become available. SOELPEC also provides a dedicated dashboard - a custom version of Dahl Design's DDC software configured for this wheel - and the two buttons beside the display can be mapped to dashboard actions or any other function.

SOELPEC Spectra XR combined shifter and clutch paddle module with carbon fiber paddles

Magnetic shifters and Hall-sensor dual clutches

The shifter and clutch paddles share one combined module for a rigid, lightweight assembly. Longer paddle arms with a short travel distance keep shifts natural with less rotation under the fingers, and the carbon fiber shifter paddles run on ball bearings with N52 magnets - the actuation force is tunable with the extra magnets included in the box.

The dual clutches also run on ball bearings and use contactless Hall sensors for precise input, with a dedicated bite-point adjustment button for race starts.

SOELPEC Spectra XR dual-action thumb encoder with 8 inputs in total

17 buttons, 7-way switches and dual-action encoders

17 push buttons use 700 gf tactile switches - a firm, deliberate click that resists accidental presses mid-corner. Two 7-way switches and three center encoders with push function take over rotary car settings, while rear-facing tactile buttons and two programmable buttons beside the display keep critical functions in reach.

Both thumb encoders are dual-action: each acts as two independent encoders, switched via its push button, for 8 thumb inputs in total - enough to keep brake bias, traction control and engine maps adjustable without moving your hands from the grips.

SOELPEC Spectra XR 6061 anodized aluminium structure with overmolded silicone grips

6061 aluminium core, carbon plate, silicone grips

The structural core is machined from 6061 anodized aluminium with a carbon fiber center plate. The 50A silicone grips are overmolded directly onto the aluminium structure, so the open-bottom handles stay rigid and transmit feedback from the wheelbase without flex.

Total weight is 1350 g without the rear hub, keeping rotational inertia low on high-torque direct-drive bases. The included 42 mm color-coordinated hub houses the clutch spring mechanism and the internal USB connection, and adds mounting clearance for the quick release.

What our customers say about this product

FAQs

Which wheelbases is the Spectra XR compatible with?

The included 42 mm rear hub uses the standard 70 mm 6-hole mounting pattern, so the wheel fits quick releases from Simucube, Simagic, Asetek and most other direct-drive ecosystems. A wheel-side quick release is not included. On Asetek wheelbases the Spectra XR can run fully cable-free - the quick release's integrated USB connection carries the data, using the internal USB cable included in the box.

How does the wheel connect to my PC?

Through the included 4-pin spiral USB cable with a Lumberg connector, plugged directly into the PC - this works with any wheelbase brand. On Asetek bases with integrated USB in the quick release, the internal USB cable replaces the external one entirely. The Spectra XR is PC only.

What software drives the display and lighting?

Everything runs on SimHub - select the Spectra XR in the devices section and all illumination and dashboard functions become available. The dedicated SOELPEC dashboard can be downloaded via the link in the Manual and Downloads tab above. A powered USB hub is recommended for the highest LED brightness levels.

Can the shifter paddle force be adjusted?

Yes. The magnetic shifters use N52 magnets, and additional magnets are included in the box to tune the actuation force. The dual clutch paddles have a dedicated bite-point adjustment button for setting the launch bite point.

Can I customize the look and lighting?

The RGB illumination of the buttons, encoders and dashboard is fully adjustable, and lighting zones can be mapped to telemetry-driven animations via SimHub. Button caps and encoders are labeled with textured film stickers, and an extra polyester film sticker sheet is included for relabeling the inputs to your own layout.
