An Introduction to the Forte® Load Cell Pedals from Asetek SimSports®

[@Dammerl_racinG]

“I’ve tried several SIM racing pedals over the years, but Asetek pedals truly take the driving experience to a whole new level. The precision, build quality, and feel are simply unmatched. The responsiveness makes it feel like you’re driving a real car, down to the smallest details. In my opinion, Asetek is world-class, and these pedals have completely transformed my racing setup!”

I am super glad you guys joined simracing market. Looking forward to future products

[@henriksteamroller]

Looking forward to your upcoming products, for sure :)

[@francescoabbruscato2556]

Great job!!! I wait for Invicta pedal set pre-ordered. This is a good budget idea. I am very happy of my choice!!!

[@MiserableRacer]

My sprints will be going on ebay. Already pre-ordered

[@elmcraftcsgo6363]

Very interesting, will keep looking at these!

[@anonymousgaines4044]

Ordered. You can send mine first... 😁 Will from Boosted Media did a great review. Totally can't wait to get these. Right in my price range.

[@theblaznee]

I need those pedal faces for my Invictas soon! I get "foot creep" and my brake and end up with my heel on the lip. I sincerely hope the slippery pedals will limit that somewhat :). The Invicta brake is SO close to perfect, if I can just get rid of this (which may be my own body doing weird things).

[@AsetekSimSports]

We will soon have them ready on our webshop as an option. We'll let the community know asap :)

[@maas7740]

Exactly the same "problem" I also have. To me it pulls through the grippy pedal plates the foot up partially over the heel rest so that I have to reposition it after each turn. Also hope that the smoother pedal plates solve the problem or I still get it through a different angle of the pedals.

[@AsetekSimSports]

The smooth face plates are ready as an optional add-on now. Check them out: www.asetek.com/simsports/product/forte-pedal-face-plates/

[@brotherben7087]

Can’t wait to get going with these next week.

[@hatofbulma]

With the price of USD500, it's gonna be tough to consider any other pedals at that price range, honestly. Of course I'll still be saving for the Invicta, but at least I could consider this too if my funds fall short at that time.

[@VulgrDisplay]

Microcenter has basically the same set with Tony Kanaan branding for $200. The throttle is simplified to cut costs, but at that price they are an insane deal.

[@Detroitonpcin1440p]

You've got my attention, really cool stuff

[@yazks3258]

Great explanation as usual. Are you planning to launch the products for Playstation console? I hope you will.

[@AsetekSimSports]

Thank you! Right now, our main focus is still PC. But who knows what can happen in the future :D

[@joshuabenson2568]

Is there any estimate on the release of your Direct Drive lineup?

[@AsetekSimSports]

It will be later this year. We look forward to revealing more at a later time :)

[@joshuabenson2568]

@@AsetekSimSports alright, thanks for the quick response

[@Gordendo]

hey nice video, before i buy it i would like to know that will i be able to upgrade from the forte to the invicta whitout buying the whole pedal set? thank you in advance, i really love your products so far.

[@AsetekSimSports]

Yes, there will be an upgrade path from Forte to Invicta :) Expect more info on this sometime after we start shipping the Forte pedals.

[@MrStimpydk]

Just pre-ordered these, and maybe in the future upgrade to invicta. Though I will properly "design" and 3d print my own clutch if needed, since 349€ is way too much for that.

[@AsetekSimSports]

Thank you for your pre-order! That's cool. We hope you are thrilled with the pedals once you receive them :)

[@togwilson]

So are the Forte 2 stage on the brake like the invictor pedals? Thanks

[@AsetekSimSports]

There is a difference. Forte is a mechanical stop, while with Invicta's 2-stage, you can press against the hydraulic forces as fluid cannot be compressed. It's difficult to explain the feeling of the difference when not comparing them directly after each other. Review embargo of the Forte pedals will be lifted very soon. By that time, we are excited to hear the reviewers who have tried both pedals talk about their individual experiences :)

[@flyingphoenix113]

This is just the sort of pedals for which I have been waiting. The biggest question that I have is if there will be a Forte series clutch pedal released as well. It's very difficult to justify the Invicta clutch pedal at its current cost as compared with the Forte pedal set for what is, at the end of the day, a non-essential accessory. 😕

[@AsetekSimSports]

We have listened to the community regarding the price of our clutch. We have managed to do some cost savings in the manufacturing and therefore we have reduced the clutch price by 100 EUR/USD :) Check it out: www.asetek.com/simsports/product/invicta-pedals-clutch/

[@flyingphoenix113]

@@AsetekSimSports, thank you, Asetek! This is a real gamechanger! I look forward to seeing your ecosystem expand!

[@AsetekSimSports]

Thank you! 🙏 We look forward to bringing even more to the community. We can't wait to see the first photos from sim racers where they have all Asetek SimSports hardware - pedals, wheel, and wheelbase. We are working hard towards that day! 🤩

[@jamesdowling8246]

I'm saving👍

[@chrisg.2962]

With someone who has feet on the smaller side I'm wondering what the distance is from the pedal face to the baseplate is.

[@smk6469]

I do wish there was the capacity for adjustable pedal spacing. (Beyond pedal face offset)

[@vb_matic4166]

Would be great if they could be used with the Drive Hub, so I could also use them on console aswell. Heusinkveld and Venym padels work on PlayStation.

[@AsetekSimSports]

At the moment our pedals are only compatible with PC. In the future, we hope to expand to consoles as well :)

[@voodoo728]

they look very very interesting but i'm concerned about the distance between pedals, as it looks a bit short. Is it possible to adjust it and maybe distance the pedals even few centimeters? thanks

[@AsetekSimSports]

It's explained at 6:42 in the video :) You'll have 1cm for each thread-hole

[@RetroGenetic]

You may want to edit the video a bit to remove the old price from the video :D

[@stevieb931]

Will you guys be updating and working on the software for UGT manager?

[@AsetekSimSports]

For the foreseeable future, we will continue to support end-users with relevant updates. Please see here for more info regarding UGT: www.asetek.com/simsports/ugt-ultimate-game-tech/

[@vasiliswr794]

clutch price is the only reason i wont order this. i want to be able to get a clutch in the future although i dont need it now. thats a big issue for many people even if the 2pedal price is really good.

[@goifollow4028]

I pre oder at feb the first pedal now apr not ship to malaysia..
