Conspit ARES Platinum torque validation - high-precision dynamic torque sensor testing

The same test bench as the flagship

The ARES 12 went through the same measurement discipline as Conspit's flagship: a dynamic torque sensor between the wheel and the motor shaft, reading below 0.01 Nm at 1 kHz. What reaches your hands is engineering data, not marketing.

Conspit ARES Platinum skew-pole direct drive motor with 23-bit optical encoder

Flagship internals in a 5.6 kg package

Inside sits the same recipe as Conspit's flagship: a proprietary skew-pole direct drive motor with torque cogging under 2.3% and a 23-bit optical encoder. At 5.6 kg and 243 mm deep, it fits where bigger bases won't - and 12 Nm is more than most drivers ever run.

Conspit CDR quick release and front POGO expansion contacts on the ARES Platinum wheelbase

Grows with your setup

Start with one wheel, add more later: the CDR quick release swaps them in seconds, and magnetic POGO contacts on the front panel are ready for future Conspit expansion modules. In CONSPIT LINK 2.0, official pro-driver presets get you dialled in from the first session.
