Asetek SimSports Invicta 27Nm Sim Racing Wheelbase | Review

[@Mancave_Racecar]

Great review as always. When I snagged my Invicta setup Asetek was still quite new. Here a year later, I’m quite happy with my choice.

[@simracingden]

Great to hear!

[@MikaTarkela]

I've had mine for a few months now. Not a single complaint. It has all been working great ❤

[@simracingden]

Good to hear!

[@ReplicaRacingOfficial]

I absolutely love Asetek! One of my favorite sim company's. I love my Invicta set

[@reviewforthetube6485]

Its the best wheelbase I've ever used. I own a simagic ultimate, the invicta is so good however I'm getting it. But the ultimate from simagic is no joke and its not a need for me to get it but I just want it. Lol I was very much wrong about asetek so if you see any negative comments they are old and false. Just saying. Also aseteks system is also open now. And if you test it at 27nm it feels like the ultimates 32nm. You cabt even barely turn in. Its to wild and just goes insane. Ita way stronger then any 25nm wheelbase ive used. Way stronger doesnt seem like only 2nm. I think they downplayed its torque and may be going by the 140second homding torque which seems to be how they rate there power.

There is just something about the whole Asetek range that i really like. If i won the lotto tomorrow i would absolutely choose them.

[@simracingden]

Yea I know what you mean its a very well thought out ecosystem.

[@LaVale-]

No need for lotto, there is the La Prima. Still expansive but only a bit more expensive than Simagic

[@Gorilla_Jones]

Asetek is the best Sim manufacturer.

[@luismiranda9506]

I upgraded my logitech g923 to Asetek LaPrima and I'm really happy with it. Great experience overall with Asetek

[@simracingden]

Very nice!

RE: the DDU, I wound up buying the SLS dash mount from Turn Racing, then got an enclosure for a vocore display off of Etsy and drilled holes into that to allow it to attach to the Turn mount. Not super ideal, but it's turned out to be a pretty solid solution.

[@DannyGiusa]

Great review as well the esthetics and visual presentation!

[@simracingden]

Much appreciated!

Having literally just made the decision two nights ago, I think simucube takes it. I say this because simucube does the most important part right. The FFB. People will talk about quick releases (you can change the simucube to the same one moza uses and make it wireless for your wired wheels), people will talk about USB port and emergency stop switches. People will talk about the quality of the wheels. All that matters is how it feels and if it works. And simucube is still king. That excludes software (simucube wins), build quality (simucube wins), manufacture support (simucube wins). Now that’s not to say the aseteks are bad wheelbases. I’ll leave that to the people on Reddit. But if you can afford to go with simucube, I can’t think of a reason you wouldn’t.

[@simracingden]

Thank you for your input! I believe both options are excellent, so you really can't go wrong either way. Personally, I am sticking with the Simucube 2 Ultimate as my primary wheelbase on my main rig. I prefer it still over the Invicta, the True Drive software and available profiles, plus all my wheels are already equipped with Simucube QR kits. Of course, cost wasn't a factor for me since both wheelbases were provided to me for free. But the Invicta is staying on my 2nd rig until I review another wheelbase, and I will be using it with my VR setup when I want a change.

[@MrJMHP]

I have both wheelbase and my preference goes to Asetek Invicta for some reasons but mainly for the FFB. Invicta has faster and better response and details specially on the mid of corners were I always find SC2 Pro misses.

[@HeartbrokenHeartshooter]

@@MrJMHP I was lucky enough to try both before I bought. My friend is putting together a sim room to our team and had access to both. I went with the one I preferred 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@HDRGamingHub]

@@MrJMHP Not anymore. Simucube released in beta "Simucube Force Reconstruction v2" and is perfection now .

[@MrJMHP]

@@HDRGamingHub ... I know that but they are still laging back compare to Asetek. It's better but Asetek is still better now..

[@fanisrc]

do you know something about the new Simucube 3 ???? i am between asetek and the simucube ultimate and there is a big sale now!! But i am in love with the simucube ultimate!! i only dont want to give that money and then sortly i will have an old model!

[@simracingden]

I have no information; I am just speculating that we might see something by the end of the year or next. I hear you; it's a tough choice when spending this kind of money.

[@DannyGiusa]

SImucube said on their forums there will be no SC3 for now, they improve soft and firmware.

[@bharathbhushansirige9228]

What did you get am also on the same boat, can’t able to decide.

[@bharathbhushansirige9228]

Ultimately which is better Asetec Invicta or Simucube 2 Ultimate and Why is it better? (Baring the price tag)

[@simracingden]

That's a tough one, as both options are very close in terms of performance. However, other factors like the ecosystem, quick-release system, and software play a crucial role in the decision. I'm heavily invested in the Simucube QR system for all my wheels, which influences my preference. The lack of easy profile sharing at the moment with Asetek is another reason I lean towards Simucube, where you can download profiles created by real-life pros and esports drivers. Personally, I still prefer the Simucube 2 Ultimate, which remains on my primary rig. I know this doesn't directly answer your question, but neither option will disappoint in terms of sheer performance and capabilities.

[@bharathbhushansirige9228]

@@simracingden Thank you for the detailed reply! I'm planning to buy one and I'm having a hard time deciding between the Asetek Invicta and Simucube 2 Ultimate. When you say they are close in terms of performance, which one do you think is slightly better overall? Your input would really help me make an informed decision as none of the reviews are able to say this is better because of encoder or etc. On paper Simucube 2 Ultimate has a better hardware.

[@ghostinme.]

They should have colabed with PlayStation and Xbox and that would be the kicker for monopoly in the market

[@smartwaysbs]

Hi, do you have any idea why the max torc for iracing is 15Nm in the asetek doc? Allways understood to use max in device settings and dial down in game?

[@Max__apex]

Simagic is better in my view. I would not buy asetek or simucube. Simagic product are just more rounded and cheaper also which is a win. But competition is good for everyone so it’s all good and really close between all 3 companies

[@asSIMuNation]

Simagic has 360 hz FFB on Iracing too so that's amazing 🤩

[@johnnybanana8004]

i just dont understand why somone would spend time and money to make a new shitty qr, when there is the NRG qr where everyone loves.

[@neilbezuidenhout9284]

27 nm😂 why? Anyone running 27nm of torque?
