Brake feel like the real thing

The Ultimates+ offer a stiff yet compact design able to withstand significantly higher loads than Heusinkveld’s entry level Sprint pedal set. With a brake force of up to 136kg (300lbs) you are close to F1 levels of brake force and able to match F2 and LMP1 brake pedal forces.

Pro drivers from international FIA Formula categories to national Touring Car competitions report that the feel of these pedals is the closest they have come to their real cars in a simulated environment.

That is because of the clever 2-way hydraulic dampers in each pedal.

What Heusinkveld have got right is the tuning of these dampers to return just like a pressurized brake system would. Large fluid reservoirs and motorsport brake system components will never feel “real” unless they are actually connected to a braking system.

You get the ability to modulate the brakes and trail into corners with accuracy you have never felt before. It is truly an astonishing feeling.

Superior car control

In a real racing car, you control the rotation of the chassis into the corner with your brakes. In the mid corner to exit phase, you control the car with the throttle. This is where the Heusinkveld Ultimates+ really stand out.

Built to last

Automated testing shows these elastomers have zero performance degradation even after one million duty cycles. You can choose from a total of 9 possible resistance settings, allowing you set set the pedal from very soft to extremely stiff.

The SmartControl advantage

The Sim Pedals Ultimate+ come with a powerful configuration tool allowing you to set up your pedals in ways not previously possible: SmartControl. Working together with all-new electronics, SmartControl allows for instant mapping of (non-linear) pedal output curves, pedal deadzones and brake pedal force.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What distinguishes the Heusinkveld Ultimate+ pedals from other high-end sim racing pedals?

The Heusinkveld Ultimate+ pedals are engineered for professional-grade simulation, featuring a robust design capable of handling up to 140 kg of actual brake force via a 200 kg load cell.

Each pedal incorporates hydraulic damping and custom-made elastomers, delivering a progressive and realistic pedal feel akin to that of real GT and F1 cars.

Are the Heusinkveld Ultimate+ pedals compatible with gaming consoles like PlayStation or Xbox?

The Ultimate+ pedals are designed exclusively for PC use and are not compatible with gaming consoles such as PlayStation or Xbox. They connect via USB and require Windows 10 or newer for operation.

How does the SmartControl software enhance the functionality of the Ultimate+ pedals?

Heusinkveld's SmartControl software allows users to fine-tune pedal responses by adjusting output curves, dead zones, and pedal forces. It supports the creation and storage of multiple profiles, enabling quick switching between different setups for various racing disciplines.

What mechanical adjustments can be made to the Ultimate+ pedals?

The Ultimate+ pedals offer extensive mechanical adjustability, including pedal angle, pedal plate height, and pedal travel. These adjustments allow users to tailor the pedal setup to their ergonomic preferences and simulate different vehicle pedal configurations.

What mounting options are recommended for the Ultimate+ pedals?

Given the high forces these pedals can withstand, it's recommended to mount them on a sturdy and rigid platform. Heusinkveld offers an Ultimate+ baseplate designed to provide a solid foundation, minimizing flex and ensuring consistent pedal performance.
