First aid in Sim Racing. What to buy in 2026 + link to personal advice

Which model do I need?
With the wide range of available models, it can be difficult to see the differences at first glance.
SimXPro aluminium profile rigs are fully adjustable and future-proof, making them ideal for upgrades over time.

I just started sim racing. Which rig should I choose?
If you are new to sim racing and use entry-level or mid-range hardware such as Thrustmaster / Logitech / Fanatec CSL / Simagic Alpha Mini,
and you do not expect to upgrade to high-end hardware or motion systems, these models will fit your needs:
R80 / X80 / GT-RS

I have experience and plan to upgrade later
If you already have sim racing experience and use mid-range hardware such as
Thrustmaster / Logitech / Fanatec CSL / Fanatec DD / Simagic,
and you plan to upgrade to direct drive and load-cell pedals, but not to motion, the best options are:
XT120 / X80 / GTRS

Pedal deck recommendation
For heavy load-cell pedals, a profile pedal deck is strongly recommended.
• GTRS: profile pedal deck included
• X80: profile pedal deck optional

I use high-end hardware and want maximum rigidity
If you use or plan to use high-end equipment such as
Simucube / Fanatec Direct Drive / VRS (15 Nm and higher)
and want maximum stiffness and quality, choose:
XT120 / XT160 / FRDD / XFR / GT -PRO

Are Fanatec, Thrustmaster, Logitech, and Simagic compatible?
Yes. All SimXPro rigs support
Fanatec / Simucube / Thrustmaster / Logitech / Simagic.
• XT120 & XT160 include a standard front-mount wheel mount
• Some wheelbases may require an additional bracket
• All rigs support an optional flat wheel mount

When do I need a profile pedal deck?
A profile pedal deck is recommended when using
load-cell or high-force pedals (e.g. Heusinkveld-type).

These pedals apply high force to a small surface area. A profile pedal deck ensures a flex-free solution.
Bottom-mounted pedals can be installed using corner brackets to create a 90° mounting angle.

Can I mount my seat on a SimXPro rig?
Yes. SimXPro rigs are fully modular and support almost all seat types.
• Bottom-mounted seats: corner brackets
• Side-mounted seats: universal seat mounts
• Optional seat sliders for adjustability

What is the difference between R80, X80, and GT-RS?
R80 – entry-level, smaller footprint, fewer profiles, most affordable
X80 – stronger, more modular, ideal for future upgrades
GT-RS – very rigid, many connection points, profile pedal deck included, compact footprint, upgraded design

More profiles and connectors result in higher rigidity and price.

What is special about the black coating?
All SimXPro black profiles are anodized and powder coated, resulting in:
• Higher scratch resistance
• Deeper, more luxurious black finish
• Thicker coating and smoother feel

All brackets use the same coating with a strip-textured finish.

Can I change my order after placing it?
No. Orders are processed immediately for fast shipping.
Changes after checkout are not possible. Please double-check your order before completing checkout.

Do I need the optional X80 shifter/handbrake mounting profiles?
Only if you plan to use a shifter or handbrake.
Recommended when using a heavy direct drive wheelbase, as it adds extra stability to the uprights.
