Simucube now available at SimXPro: Build a no compromise Direct Drive setup

One of the most common questions we get is simple:

“If I’m going to upgrade, what’s a wheelbase I can grow into for years?”

For a lot of serious sim racers (and real-world drivers who train at home), the answer is Simucube — because the goal isn’t just “more torque.” It’s clean, repeatable information through the wheel, lap after lap.

That’s why we’re happy to share an ecosystem update: Simucube hardware is now available at SimXPro.com. You can build a full “no-compromise” setup in one place — cockpit, seating, display mounting, and now premium direct drive + pedals.

What’s available

We’re rolling out a curated Simucube lineup covering the core pieces of a high-end setup:

• Direct Drive wheelbases (including Simucube 2 Sport and Simucube 2 Pro)
• Simucube 3 ecosystem components
• Wireless wheels (e.g., GT-style rims)
• Simucube ActivePedal options for maximum adjustability and feel

What changes when you move to Simucube

With high-end direct drive, the “upgrade” is often less about peak forces and more about:

• Micro-detail: tiny grip changes that help you catch slides early
• Stability: the wheel feels calm when the car is calm — and talkative when it isn’t
• Repeatability: a consistent signal makes it easier to build consistent habits

Your rig matters more than ever

Direct drive exposes everything. If your cockpit flexes, you don’t feel “road texture” — you feel the rig moving.

That’s why we always recommend treating the wheelbase as part of a system:

• Chassis rigidity (no flex under steering or braking loads)
• Correct mounting (front mount / side mount where appropriate)
• Pedal stability (so braking feedback stays consistent)

Recommended SimXPro foundations for Simucube builds

• Balanced high-end GT cockpit: SimXPro GT‑RS
• Maximum strength for powerful DD + heavy braking: SimXPro XT120
• Our cleanest “showpiece” GT platform: SimXPro GT‑PRO

Useful add-ons for a tidy, serviceable install:

• Simucube 2 PSU Mount (set) (clean cable routing, secure placement)
• SimXPro DD Front Mount Universal (580–600 mm) (for front-mount wheelbase setups)

Need help choosing Sport vs Pro (or planning an upgrade path)?

If you tell us what you drive (GT / Formula / Rally), what pedals you use, and whether you’re on single screen, triples or VR, we’ll help you pick a setup that makes sense — without overbuying.
