100% HYPE WORTHY! | The Asetek Invicta Sim Racing steering wheel is here!

[@robertdunn284]

Glad I race in VR! Asetek does make nice kit. My only complaint with Asetek is the supply chain - new stuff sells out quickly and restock can take a while. The screen does look nice. As I can’t see that screen in VR, I’ll look forward to a 5090 graphics or a next gen Big Screen Beyond.

[@awakeandwatching953]

i find the gt neo perfect for vr.. still miss the lighting but every thing else about the wheel is perfect for vr for a very good price relative to other wheels of the same kind of quality

[@Bert1986]

Same my Moza KS is perfect for VR 😂

[@SteelRiverSims]

To be honest I would 100% buy this at the price. It is absolutely stunning 👌 I have zero experience with Asetek products but as I've said time and time again on my channel, no one ever gets Asetek gear and goes back to what they had before. This tells you everything you need to know. Think I've just found my next wheel 😍 I absolutely love the blacked out stealth look too 😎

[@davecamyt]

If you're ever up my way Dunc, you're more than welcome to pop in for a brew and a look at the gear. Who knows, maybe record a race on my rig for your channel 😁

[@SteelRiverSims]

@@davecamyt aw thanks mate. That would be amazing! I'm as excited to test out that fancy coffee machine as much as the rig 🤣😉

[@v3jc3ST]

I have zero experience with Asetek products - and that is issue, because all reviews are not honest. After experience with Forte I will never go for Invicta wheel even on first look seems to be everything nice.

[@reviewforthetube6485]

Its not always about looks. Luckily the invicta does look good but the forte is one of the best purely sim racing feeling wheels imo. Take looks out of it and the feeling of those soft ergonpmoc grips are amazing. And the fact you can now get xl grips. Idk ive owned alot of wheels and in a pure sim racing way the forte felt amazing to race with. Its like people grtting so hype about the gt neo. I like it, i own it but it doesnt feel as good to actually race with. Does it look better? Yes ​@@v3jc3ST

[@mr1k666]

I mean it’s not bad but 2.4K au dollars for a wheel there’s better wheels out there in my opinion for that price

[@3rddude]

R12 is better 😂 plus the driving technique is more important than expensive sim setup

[@tylerhicks621]

Yeah, but at this price point it's kinda just flexing. Dave likes nice things, this wheel is nice, so he likes it

[@joshaltea]

It’s 2.2-2.3 AUD fully spec’d

[@NoOne56488]

I just bought one, single life has advantages haha

[@reviewforthetube6485]

​​The r12 isnt close and no wheel from moza touches this not even the new lambo wheel. Believe me we tried them at the expo. Also no wheelbase matches asetek on the market right now. Only one that comes close is the new wheelbase coming from simlabs and only the 35nm one. It takes that much to match the aseteks feel in dynamic range with details. Not about the power but about that dynamic feel with details and the way it pushes it. An r12 cannot compete. You can enjoy your r12 but being delusional doesn't make sense. I don't get buyers like you who must hear there base is the best or must believe it when it's a more budget style 12nm wheelbade. Is it good? Yes is it the best? No ​

As great as this wheel is, my favorite is how the gear number rotates to stay level

[@ss0op]

glad it is simhub compatible. Great video. Thanks for your input on it!

[@reviewforthetube6485]

So how is the details that come through the wheel still. Still the best of any base? I hope! I can't wait man.

[@christianjuul2962]

I will make the comment section even more repetitive. It is a good wheel... but the pricing is insane, 1.600 euros is 11.932 DKK, I could get myself a Fanatec DD2 for 1500 euros (11.187). Or a Moza FSR Formula wheel, which can do a lot of the stuff the Asetek Invicta wheel can, for 729 euros and it is only 5.436 DKK. All that hype just to be blown back by the price.

[@fiskerwastaken]

Det kom forhåbentlig ikke bag på nogen at INVICTA ville blive et dyrt rat. Kigger du på andre brands med den slags rat og kvalitet (cubecontrols, GSI mm.) er de jo allesammen oppe i det prisleje.

[@filthypleb9224]

Moza wheel doesnt have sim hub and most likely wont be built as nice

[@1050-Argon]

Dont understand the complaining about the price. Its literally called the Invicta wheel which is their most expensive product segment. Its a high-end wheel and the price reflects that. The reviews have also been nothing but positive, ultimately its just a wheel that not everyone will be able to afford.

[@drchtct]

this is like commenting under a Audi video that Renault cars exist for less money, what is your point

[@MrMarlby]

You only pay VAT once Dave, in your calculations you’ve added it on twice working out the UK price.

[@ty194]

He added on import duty which you don't pay. Brexit is nowhere near as bad as people make out.

[@SimonWilder]

Really keen to hear how people deal with bindings when changing between wheels. I'm having to rebind a load when changing from a formula style to round wheel. Any golden nuggets of wisdom?

[@zretil]

Simracing steering wheels has gotten better than the real ones, what a time we live in.

[@ty194]

Dave, when was the last time you imported anything from the EU into the UK? There's no import duty - certainly not for sim racing gear. I'm not sure where you're getting that from.

[@davecamyt]

I've had to pay it many times. You must have been really lucky 😁 Ive had to pay import duty recently.

[@ty194]

@@davecamyt Get a refund mate, there are zero tariffs between the EU and the UK. This was negotiated under the TCA shortly after we left. I've never paid import duty on any sim racing gear nor has anyone I've known. You can even look it up on the tax duty government site and it will clearly show you using their calculator that nothing is owed. The only thing you pay is VAT and that's because the EU sellers no longer charge you that.

[@Furbytom]

@@davecamyt there is no import duty. It’s just the VAT you pay (plus usually a very small fee for the courier paying it on your behalf). 😊

[@MightyDonut88]

Great video dave. Can't wait to upgrade to asetek to get my hands on this. Juts out of curiosity what material are the grips? Are they like a leather or a rubber feel to them?

[@reviewforthetube6485]

Ive got to get one for my invicta wheelbase 😉. Cant wait for more future grip and shifter paddle arm options. Def hope we see new paddle modules in the future. But abybody buying asetek should know you dont have to buy a simgle wheel from them. You can use 99% of wheels on the market with this wheelbase. Ascher seells there wheels with the asetek qr option. Cube controls literally has a native qr that was made for the asetek wheelbases that you can buy with there wheels. So yeah all of the people who go oh i dont like rhe forte wheel as if thats the only wheel you can use are just off base. I wish more knew or realized how easy and how well it works with other wheels on the market. They made it the most simple and accessible of any makers on the market. They are even still pushing the limits with this.

[@neocortexpilote96]

Great Steering Wheel

Dave, if ya still getting stutters, turning off swap high res cars fixed mine

[@FG_SIMRACING]

Are you for real man ? Don’t think it will be fixed by it buT i’ll give it a try

[@lordvolt7662]

hey Dave ive just upgraded to the invicta wheel base, just wondering if you havw your base and iracing settings somehwere....just so i can start from a base your using and tweak from there. vs starting blank slate

[@elisimracing]

Love the fact that we don’t have to pay the vat in US. That’s ridiculous. Very nice wheel but 2K+ euros is crazy.

[@Convoluted_Logic]

Hi Dave! A question... I've ordered a GT Omega prime rig and Asetek equipment to go with it. Should be a nice upgrade over the K800 keyboard I've been using to race with until now. One problem is that there isn't any floor space to put it on, so I'm planning to build a loft over the bed while I wait for the wares to arrive. I will have just over a meter between the platform and the ceiling, will that be enough for a rig with 27" monitors?

[@geekyimp]

It looks super good to be fair. And the price is roughly in line with other competitors such as the Cube Controls, GSI and Soelpec! More options is always a good thing! I'm considering buying one of the 4 (including Asetek). Which one would you pick to buy with your own money? 👊

[@davecamyt]

Cube too clicky for me. GSI too big and not tried the Soelpec. I'll try and change that this weekend though 😁

[@geekyimp]

@@davecamyt jealous! 😎 I'll wait for the video drop I guess! Soelpec is currently my favourite, let's see what you think! 👊

[@kevsthename]

What do you do with the kit that you upgrade from? or do you send most stuff back to the suppliers?

[@davecamyt]

It depends, some goes back, some I keep. I have lots in storage which I need to compare back to back 👍

[@targaW3007]

Well, a good set of pedals will make you faster, a very good wheel base will make you more consistent and maybe faster. But a steering wheel is just a steering wheel. Why should I pay more for the wheel than I have spent on my invicta pedals or on my asetek base? I just don’t get it.

[@Arguyle20]

You do it only for the love of racing, extra immersion, extra utilities and exquisite design and premium materials. No one says this is making people faster.

[@marcushillerstrom25]

Way way waaaay to expensive for me, but a beautiful wheel that also seems to come with all the bells and whistles. I just need to become a famous youtuber so Asetek can start sending me this stuff for free.

[@notdreadyet33]

How long has Asetek been in business? Not long and they're filling every need. "You don't need a Podium wheel or pedals, or a decent H shifter that doesn't miss shifts." -Fanatec

[@nycsox987]

Nice wheel, but i absolutely dislike the look of the forged/chopped carbon. Cheapens the look for me. regular carbon for me.

[@davecamyt]

That's why I said it's subjective. It'd be boring if we all liked the same thing 😁

Ya another overpriced wheel that just looks like all the others lol. Companys must think all us sim racers are some sort of rich millionares with all these well over priced wheels cos at the end of the day its a wheel and nothing more.

[@Arguyle20]

Meh. At higher price points i prefer other brands like GSI's Hyper P1, Grid, and Precision Sim engineering, and a few others. By far. Actually i feel Asetek tries to enter top end level but still has to refine their product. It doesnt feel top end. But dont get me wrong I am only mentionning this because it wants to measured at that price point, it still looks awesome.

[@AlexCoenraadts]

I think that wheel is awesome 👌 and that 1500,- is not bad either. People complain about tax and import but that's not Asetek... Asetek asks 1500,- which again is not that bad imo

[@ty194]

His tax calculations were all wrong for the UK. We don't pay import duty from the EU.

[@gefx0164]

That price... seriously who buys these nonsensical wheels? The market is filled with these 1.2-2k price range wheels but there is literally no decent mid range around 500. I just dont get it. The obscession with carbon fiber and stuff like that that does nothing else than drive the price up to insanity... Why? Why? Why? As far as I am concerned if a wheel is more than my wheelbase, thats a massive and instant no to that. And I own a SC2 Pro which can still be considered a high end base.

[@Kpaxlol]

True. I like the GSI look more.

[@anthonyjenkins4512]

Simagic has some really solid wheels around that price. That said, I’m in the market to spend 1500 or so on a wheel, because I spend a lot of time on it, so I want what I want.

[@gefx0164]

@@anthonyjenkins4512 The GT Neo is a great wheel but there is 2 wheels in that segment, a step above that there is almost nothing. I am actually looking at a DIY wheel now, it can be done for around 500 and it has the same features as a 1500 range wheel. If I were you still wouldn't spend it on this... Ascher arturia or some GSI wheel, those are even a bit cheaper if I remember correctly, also look better with the same functionality. So, still wtf at this :D

[@Wittygoose9341]

You are paid now by them for some of your videos I believe in sponsorship so could be seen as a conflict of interest. Just saying, same could be said for Boosted Media. This wheel looks nowhere near as good as anything from GSI, Grid Engineering and Ascher Racing.

[@davecamyt]

If it was a sponsored video it'd say so. Grid is also a channel partner so I think it's fair to compare the two I've only done one sponsored video from Asetek just fyi 👍

[@Wittygoose9341]

I can’t blame you pal but their business model is horrible. Every time they send out products to be reviewed it’s to people on the payroll.

[@tehsimo]

The predecessor was without doubt the ugliest wheel I've ever laid eyes on. This one looks almost perfect! Just need to get rid of the little grey spacers on the top 2 attachment points of the grips, but I assume that is for compatibility reasons, so its ok.

[@v3jc3ST]

IMO it isnt final product, nobody know how it will be working with SimHub, will be there profiles? And RaceHub is simply crap. On my BavarianSimTec Alpha is everything automatic, TC, ABS, rev lights for every car! And when started last Season 4 in iRacing profiles for new McLaren and BMW GT4 was done almost immediately. What is for me dont acceptable are any grips and paddles for shifting from cheap wheel and cheep made. For this price is now new BavarianSimTec Omega Pro V2 🙂

[@ty194]

You're kidding yourself if you think that the Omega Pro V2 is going to be in this price range. It's easily going to be over 2k whereas this wheel is 1700 at max spec.

[@v3jc3ST]

@@ty194 there is no max spec for Invicta because shifters are very cheap made and grips are crap as well... For me at this price range 300 doesn't matter if is possible get better wheel in every point of view, or choose original Omega Pro. There is many others brand as GSI, Pokornyiengineering and after experience with Forte's is no way how to choose Asetek

[@ty194]

@@v3jc3ST What do you mean there's no max spec? There is a max spec on everything that's customisable and for the Invicta wheel it's 1700. Maybe English isn't your first language and you don't understand what a maximum specification is. As for the Omega V2, it's going to be more like 500 difference and none of the wheels you've mentioned are better from every point of view - only maybe from your subjective opinion. None the others use flush integrated screens, none of them use aluminium buttons, none of them even use multiposition switches. The only thing you can point at are the shrouds used in the construction of the shifters as being lower quality than the others, but that's a trade off and the grips are upgradable which is why I said in its max spec. Anyway it's just false to claim that BSTs Omega Pro V2 is the same price - firstly it's not even for sale yet and secondly, I've spoken to them on their Discord and they've said the price is going to exceed 2k at its max spec all in, so it will be more in the VPG or Precision Sim Racing range rather than the GSI etc range.

[@v3jc3ST]

@@ty194 For top spec wheel I will don't want use slippery F1 grips or low quality LMP grips which are not attached down there and there is flex. Maybe you don't have enough experience with Asetek wheels. Software is another question, but they save it with SimHub integration a bit. Anyway I am far away from target group where they are aiming with this wheel.

[@ty194]

@@v3jc3ST That's okay if you want a higher spec wheel and it's also okay if you want to go for the Omega V2. You pay more, you get more. With regards to the grips of the Invicta wheel, they can be upgraded to alcantara ones, but you're right, I have no experience with Asetek wheels. I have an Asetek Invicta wheelbase, but I'm waiting for delivery on BSTs Alpha wheel - none of Asetek's wheels have appealed to me enough, but I do think this Invicta wheel is nice.
