Your wheel base, your choice

We believe that sim racers should have the freedom to mix and match hardware from different OEMs without limitations. That’s why we give you the flexibility to choose the components that suit your preferences.

The Invicta Quick Release Adapter makes it easy to mount any steering wheel with a standard hole pattern onto your Asetek SimSports Wheelbase—seamlessly and securely. Plus, we’ve partnered with some of the top wheel manufacturers in the industry, meaning you can purchase their wheels pre-fitted with our quick release system straight from the factory.

This ensures a smooth, hassle-free experience right out of the box, allowing you to swap between your favorite powered or non-powered wheels with ease.

Asetek SimSports® Quick Release System

To disconnect the wheel from the base, all you have to do is to press a paddle and the wheel will be in your hands. Needless to say – we are not relying on wireless signals, batteries that need to be charged, or cables that can break or fall off. Everything is included in our easy–to–use no–play Quick Release.
