Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
In 2021, the Danish Asetek company ventured into the growing gaming market for sim racing hardware and software, introducing its Invicta Sim Racing Pedals. Invicta is the Latin word for ’undefeated’ or ’unconquered’. A nice choice of name indeed.
The Invicta Sim Racing Pedals will initially become available as a throttle and brake pedal kit, and an optional add-on clutch pedal, along with custom-made RaceHub software that will let you quickly calibrate and fine-tune the pedal settings. The Invicta pedal base with integrated heel stop features a cool RGB LED strip that lets you customize the colors or completely turn it off.
In the latest Asetek Sim Sports promo videos, founder and CEO André Sloth Eriksen talks about some of the thoughts and design decisions behind the Invicta pedals and introduces the alpha version of the RaceHub software suite.
The Invicta pedals will be available for purchase in Q4 2021 with pricing to be revealed later this year.
In addition to the Invicta pedals, Asetek will also offer replaceable pedal plates suitable for users racing without shoes. In the near future, Asetek is also planning to release wheelbases, steering wheels, shifters, and other end-user customization options.
I will keep you posted when more details become available.
