What is new with the Simucube 3 wheel base

The new generation of Simucube wheel base has to be a big improvement to beat out the already impressive second generation. Simucube has introduced a range of new features and upgrades to ensure this new wheel base is the best they have ever released, and is able to compete with other premium wheel bases such as the Asetek Invicta.

New control algorithms

All three of these new wheel bases feature completely re-engineered control algorithms, meaning pinpoint force feedback accuracy, along with silent use.

New direct drive motor

At the heart of the new Simucube 3 wheel bases are completely new motors. Simucube has designed the Spoke-type IPM direct drive motors for pinpoint accuracy, along with incredible response times. Given the last generation Simucube wheel bases remain one of the fastest and most accurate, this new generation should be incredible.

Telemetry effects

If you’ve used a Simucube ActivePedal, you’ll be used to the telemetry based effects such as ABS and traction haptics. These effects are making their way into the Simucube wheel bases. You’ll be able to feel unique telemetry-based rumbles and haptices including RPM feedback, road texture and ABS.

Upgraded Simucube Link Quick Release

Along with a complete redesign, Simucube have introduced a new quick release. This was one of the weaker parts of the last generation wheel base, requiring a physical pin.

The new “Link” quick release features two vertical locking mechanisms, and boasts brushless and contactless data and power transfer. Simucube have been very open about opening up their ecosystem to third party brands with the Simucube 3. This quick release looks to be at the heart of this expanded ecosystem.

Should I buy a Simucube 2 or wait?

With all new product releases comes the question of “should I buy the current Simucube wheel, or wait for the new product?” This is a really valid question, as the new wheel base could be much pricier, or not deliver the upgrade we are all expecting.

There is never a bad time to buy the Simucube 2 Pro or Sport wheel base. They are both excellent direct drive wheels, and I’m sure they’ll be supported for years to come. We recently reviewed the Simucube 2 Pro wheel base, which you can watch below, to see whether we would recommend it. Spoiler alert… we would!
