DEM introduces the DRS Endurance Rim

DEM Simulators unveiled the high-end DRS Endurance Rim steering wheel that will become available for the DRS Integrale Force Feedback wheel.

With the DRS Integrale professional steering system, DEM wants to target the Sim Racing market by creating a less expensive professional force feedback wheel that will appeal to the more demanding user. At this time, no pricing has been set.

The Endurance Rim has a 310 mm diameter and features a hand stitched Alcantara grip and Carbon look trimmings. The DEM rim is fitted to a hub that is very similar to the Fanatec Universal wheel hub. This hub is featuring a multifunctional display, 8 buttons, and two rotary switches. The hub is connected to the PC using a USB cable. The wheel comes with a software suite supporting most of the simulators available on the market.

DEM Simulators also announced that they will present some more rims during the coming weeks. The Hub also supports a selection of aftermarket steering wheels. More details will be revealed later on.
