Great stuff Will & Tom

36:35 - Hysteresis, don't stop using it WIll, it's one of your best Engi-geek words. Great detailed review as always boys. Really dig this company's ethos, manufacturing and logistics experience, and now product. Been running the Truebrake mod in my G920 pedals since they came out and that is also as hard as nails and I love it. As long as the modulation is there in the little movement you do have, all good.

Hi, really cool, that you looked into noises. My Fanatec V3 are absolutely noiseless and i just gave back the Simagic Pedals which are making terrible noises. Do you know if the Asetek fits on the SimLab P1-X Pedal Plate which i use with a Seatslider? Don't want to miss it. Btw., as always, great choice of music.

A pro-tip on the throttle and the heel-rest (from the guy who has spent hundreds of hours on these): Move the starting position back of the throttle and the mechanical stop down, so you can use the heel-rest properly!

[@robertschneider8808]

@@DavidGarcia-oi5nt it depends a bit on taxes. I'm not sure if the asateks include EU VAT. Then they'd be cheaper. Simtrecs are 995€ before VAT and without the baseplate. If im in that region price wise these asateks aren't significantly cheaper than the simtrecs, at least as long as you're in the market for a three pedal set. I personally don't see an advantage for hydraulics in a sim pedal set.

What can one go wrong with in terms of load cells then ??

[@timewasteacc1653]

Original csl elite pedals

[@Max__apex]

@@timewasteacc1653 why is that

[@timewasteacc1653]

@@Max__apex The loadcell is placed so that you have to press down at a specific point of the pedal to get it working well. The higher you press, the less pressure you need, and the lower down you press, the more pressure you need. It's a terrible design flaw that makes the loadcell aspect of it almost unusable.

[@timt8199]

Great first impression. I know this is still prototype, but not being able to replace the elastomers without having to lift the base off the rig is a huge oversight. This allows you to make adjustments quickly and make comparisons right away. Also, many users have rigs that are positioned into corners or near a wall where space/access is limited, so Asetek or any pedal manufacturer should keep in mind that adjustments should not be difficult to access or burdensome without having to roll the rig out.

[@dennishampe4465]

Hi Tim, Thanks for the feedback. We will definitely note that for the future. We anticipated most people who use these pedals, will be on aluminum frames, with the pedals "floating" and not on a flat surface. And as such we didn't see it as an issue. That being said, we'll keep that in mind for future products :)

[@timt8199]

@@dennishampe4465 Thanks Dennis. Looking forward to seeing future sim racing products from you. If I'm not mistaken, Asetek will be the first hydraulic pedal set to feature proper software for pedal calibration -- instead of relying on DiView, which puts Asetek in a select group (Simtrecs, VRS, Heusinkveld, Fanatec) that have also taken the time to offer a complete product.

[@boostedmedia]

Racewerk also has nice calibration software just for the record. We were quite impressed with that when we reviewed it. Pity the hydraulic slaves we tested from them all leaked or ceased.

Thanks mate. I have to say the experience in dealing with Asetek so far has been the absolute model for how it should be.

Great review as always

[@phillupson8561]

I love how they look, very excited to see what they can do with an H shifter if they're going full ecosystem on us!

[@t_z1030]

I'd love a combined H and sequential shifter to go up against the Fanatec 1.5. The SHH shifter is good for its price but still a bit toy-ish, and the VNM shifter in practice is only either a H or a sequential because who would bother going through the process to switch it? I'd pay more for something better than the Fanatec but everything above it is either dedicated H or sequential and not both, despite prices getting real crazy real quick.

[@happyracing3359]

Met them today, they are doing a full ecosystem, even tried their new prototype DD wheelbase, but dont know the specs (in Herning Denmark)

[@jamesjlopez]

Well done guys, these look great, the design is impressive and minimalistic at the same time and thought the first look was well done. The price for the brake and throttle seems good, the clutch addition seems surprisingly expensive in comparison. For the review of the production units it’d be great to see how you’ve adjusted the stiffness of other pedal sets in the meantime and how the feel and drive experience compares with similar ranges of travel / stiffness

[@haaake]

Really like everything about these. I found I was able to nicely simulate the take-up of brake pads with my CSL Elite LC brake pedal by adding a very short spring, but it sounds like this does it even more accurately. Would really love if there was some way to adapt these to connect up to Fanatec wheelbases so they can be used on PS4/PS5 for GT Sport and GT7. I know it's unlikely since Asetek plans to release a full ecosystem of products, but would be really cool to see them work with Fanatec to try to have a little interchangeability between the two companies.

[@xavierdulas4607]

Did not watch the entire review, yet, will do it later, but, first look, I'm completely in love with this set, the first thing that make you go deeper into a pedal set review is their look (second, is the price), and this is definitely damn good looking pedals to me.

[@GorillaSnapper]

@@boostedmedia Great video Will. Really appreciate the effort you and Tom put in. If Asetek can get their production QC in order, these look like a very very competitive option for the Mid-High end tier of pedals. I love they are dying on the hill of this is how a race car is, deal with it. Love that attitude even if it's not for everyone. Looking good for a first entry to the market at that segment (unlike a certain company that is similar to Monza) I just wish they came as 3 individual pedals as that allows us with rigs to optimise placement for ergonomics. I think that was a missed opportunity given the competition (HE Sprint/Ultimates, Meca Cup's etc) Heusinkveld secretly sweating right now given the price I reckon. Asetek sound like they will have QC and customer service nailed as well. Hopefully we see a Sprint+ with the option for hydraulic dampeners. Regardless, assuming the production model is as good or better, these should be an easy recommend for those chasing ultimate immersion.

[@jonathanowen8389]

Great review Will. Interesting comment about your foot sliding on the accelerator. I do the same thing and I think most people do. I've seen the pedals on quite a few F1 cars from the 80s and 90s and they have very similar brake and clutch pedals to the Invictas. But the throttle pedals tend to have a smooth surface. Just an intersting point😄.

[@FordEntertainmentGroupFEG]

Love it when Barry says "shaft" and Will says "stroke" I want them in a review together! That would be epic. B

[@anonymousgaines4044]

Great review. I am seriously interested in these pedals. However without a more stationary solid rig, my wheelstand just couldn't handle it. I'll have to settle for loadcell brakes until I can have a more solid rig to withstand the breaking module. Great review as always.

[@boostedmedia]

Thanks. Yeah I definitely wouldn’t recommend u til you have an appropriate rig for them.

[@DavidGarcia-oi5nt]

Oh man I'm having second thoughts about my Simagic P2000 pedals after seeing this.. The reason being that these seem like a more well thought out/through design than the Simagic. There's many unoptimized stress points on them, there's also the fact that there is a lot of slop on the pedals and that unlike the Aseteks the P2000s aren't true hydraulics. (Edit: pre ordered these on the slim chance I don't like my Simagics when they arrive).

[@XpVersusVista]

you'll definitely like the simagics when they arrive, but you might like the Aseteks a fair bit more. I am in a similar boat, i wanted to order the BJ hydraulic pedals today for roughly the same price as the Aseteks, but now that i found them i think they're the better choice (unless Asetek doesn't sell from inside the EU, which would make them a few hundred € more expensive, at which point i will take the BJs). The sim racing market is exploding right now, so anything you buy is going to be outvalued in the next 6-8 months. Reason being that originally sim racing was a small area, and thanks to that companies selling sim pedals had to sell them at a high price to be profitable. Now that many more people joined the "sport" it became more profitable, which means you can turn a profit with far better priced products. The era of heusinkveld is coming to an end. And it's their own fault. HE could reduce their 3pedal sprint and ultimate sets by 200/350€ and still make profit. But they don't, so others do it instead. VRS pedals, BJ pedals, now the Asetek pedals are all better purchases by far. This is what happens when interest in a type of product suddenly skyrockets. But do you really want to wait 6 months to get the best possible set of pedals when the market settles on a new "standard" price range for pedals? I'll probably order the BJ non-hydraulic ones and get the Asetek hydraulic ones when they're done.

These do look extra tasty, but I race in Assetto Corsa with all sorts of cars and I love being able to change my brake pressure of the HE Ultimates. I can change the rubbers out in under 2 minutes now so that when I drive a street car vs a race car they are appropriate per car. I still want to give these a try. Maybe I can convince my friend to buy them so I can try lol. For strictly race cars, these look great.

Any thoughts on how the new brake pedal will apply to rally?

[@PovilasDuchovskis]

Well, I think I know what my next set of pedals will be. Love everything that I hear about these (mostly that the fluid used is non toxic which was a big “no no” for me regarding hydraulic pedals) and the pre-order price seems very reasonable.

[@AlexanderNielsen.]

Great first look Will and Tom! Nice to see the pedal set in closer details. Some questions/notes from the video: 1) 16:45 will there be any plate below the pedals to close off the pedal set regarding wiring or will it remain open like here? 2) 17:53 during use does the brake cylinder interfere by sticking out/down (if one have a cockpit with a pedal plate that extend beyond the pedal set) ? Or does it stay above the base of the pedal set? Especially when having a “larger” uptake/initial slop in the brake. 3) 24:45 is the holes below the one with the bushing used for adjust ability also? 4) 26:35 what are the measurements/spacing for the mounting points? Does it follow some of the other companies spacing or cockpit pedal trays? The mounding holes is placed directly below the throttle for a reason, I guess? 5) 31:51 I hope they don’t forget adjust ability for the sock pedal plates. 6) 32:45 loose/sloppy hydraulic brake cylinder mounting is this by design or due to being a partly disassembled prototype? 7) 42:46 what are the peak forces for each of the polymers for the brake? i see them mention up to 100 bar and it being equal to 180 kg on their web page About their plans for a whole ecosystem/turnkey solution are there any plans for device interconnecting like fanatic with the wheelbase acting as a hub for pedals, shifter and such or is it going to be individual USB connections for every device. If they are designing a whole ecosystem with pedals, wheelbase, shifter, displays, handbrake, and motion from the bottom then it seems like a good opportunity to simplify cable clutter/connections to/from the PC when it is the same Racehub software interface anyway. And does it even make sense to do? Thanks

[@boostedmedia]

Most of these questions are answered in the video. The ones that aren’t we can’t really answer because we don’t know the answers until final production so I’ll let Asetek respond :)

[@dennishampe4465]

Hi Alexander, I'll see how much I can answer in adequate detail :) 1) We are looking at closing the assembly as much as possible. 2) It won't 3) Not exactly sure what you mean 4) We are going to release a pattern and drill template in the coming days. We will also be providing T-nuts that fit with our M6 bolts. 5) We will look into that. It may be a separate set of sock pedals if you want the full adjustability of the non-sock pedals. Either way, there are still three sets of holes behind the plates, allowing for some adjustability. 6) It is entirely by design. It has to do with the forces applied and ensuring the longevity of the cylinder. 7) peak forces mentioned are using the hardest polymer. We'll happily share the curves on our website if people would like us to :) Ad. Fanatec compatibility. We're always happy to discuss this as a possibility. However, Fanatec pretty much runs their own ecosystem, and so will we - so it's quite unlikely. Our approach to the ecosystem varies a great deal from what Fanatec does. We have a lot of thoughts on cable clutter - being used to design things that go inside a PC case ;) And I guarantee that we've put a great deal of thought into the interconnectivity of the ecosystem :)

[@AlexanderNielsen.]

​@@dennishampe4465 Thanks for the answers :) Great to hear that interconnectivity within the ecosystem has been thought of also (as far as it makes sense, in terms of added cost and hardware complexity). Have heard of nightmares from people around USB hubs/controllers causing intermittent issues during races and the difficulty of recreating the errors on purpose.

[@marcusberggren9241]

I know it might be hard to answer but i'd like to know your subjective opinion. I am currently using the Fanatec V3 pedal set with brake performance kit and I chose the softer option for that because otherwise it was just too stiff, i couldn't find a threshold it was either no braking input or too much brake input meaning i locked up everywhere. I am looking to upgrade to a premium set (€600 - €1000). These pedals have a very stiff brake pedal as you've shown on the video which makes me concerned that if I upgrade to these, I'd struggle to learn to modulate my braking. Do you think coming from a brake pedal with more positional throw that it'd be fairly easy to learn to brake with muscle memory ?

Hi Will. It looks like you tested SRP on which you improved the run by 0.359 and your laps became more consistent against HE Ultimate. You also recently tested the Asetek Invicta and also improved your PB of 2:16:645 with the HE Ultimate, in theory of course, as the lead you had built up was lost after ER, yet the final got closer to your time with the HE Ultimate. However, when I analyzed your run you should have improved your PB at SPA by a similar amount as with SRP. And now the key question is which of these products is better, what are the differences between them, what is the plus and what is the minus? SRP seems to be a more customizable solution. I would like to know your opinion. From what you said about SRP I think Tom took it for further testing. So I would love to know his opinion on these two products. He wants to choose one, but I can't decide. I would appreciate your response.

[@RacingWithChuck27]

Good review. As he stated in the beginning, there’s a partnership with the builder here, financial.

[@David-qu3ro]

It looks like it may be *possible*. But I really wish they would have made it simple to swap the throttle and clutch assemblies for those who prefer inverted pedals.

[@PresidentScrooge]

My biggest gripe with hydraulic pedals in general is the fact that apparently they can't be adjusted in distance to each other. That's due to anatomics an absolute no go to me, if I didn't miss anything. Other than that they look pretty good.

[@boostedmedia]

These have angle adjustment as well as pad offset but not exactly the same as lateral and longitudinal adjustment. That’s certainly not true of all hydraulic pedals though. In fact the only other ones we’ve tested that weren’t individual modules were the Simtag pedals.

[@jackbogan3439]

How do you get it up to 80%? I must be a total light-weight. I'm lucky if I can get it up to 30%. HELP!!!

[@boostedmedia]

Calibrate

[@Woopass90]

Am I right in saying these are a pre production model?

[@boostedmedia]

Not sure. Let me just reference the 9652 times I said it in the video 😂

Asetek or Simtrecs Pro is the question for me,these look nice and well thought out

Haven’t tested those I’m afraid. Sorry.

@@boostedmedia You once said you’re trying to get in contact with them. Do you have any news on that?

[@trevz1048]

I do like the look of these and with there knowledge in racecars that could be the deciding factor

[@boostedmedia]

Tbh we’re still working our way through a few other pedal reviews. Trying to space things out a bit as we can only do so many reviews on a lot h and I don’t want every video to be a pedal review.

[@LemtemPoktui]

Bored of making AIOs I guess? Really sexy looking set of pedals. But $1000 for a full set? Would be interested to see how the market reacts.

[@boostedmedia]

Will be very interesting to see indeed. We’ve tested other hydraulic pedals that cost many times more than this.

[@Hardcaslte]

I would imagine the market will react well considering $1000 is cheaper than Heusinkveld Ultimates that are currently the go to pedals for high end rigs. Above that would be full hydraulic pedal sets usually $1500 or more. People in this category already know they'll be dropping some serious cash on each part of their rig.

[@nicowustenfeld7681]

mhhhhhh.....nice

[@carlodenys6939]

outside my budget, what are the better ones for half price? BJ steel ? this is next to heusinkveld of course ferrari and lambo or pedalworld

[@boostedmedia]

We’ve had multiple failures with the BJ pedals unfortunately. So we’ll see how these goes long term. The quality just isn’t there with BJ gear even though it’s generally cheaper than the competition.

[@carlodenys6939]

@@boostedmedia so exept the Ferrari and the lambo's. what would you recommend/are the better mid range pedals. 350-450 euro range. not everyone can/will pay 900 for set of pedals. thx

[@boostedmedia]

Honestly I haven’t tried many in the mid range. There seems to be quite a hole in the market around that price where a Fanatec currently dominate with the V3s.

[@carlodenys6939]

@@boostedmedia ordered dd mini, like quite a few people. decent middle rank. so pedals that fit in that range.

[@youngyingyang]

It's too bad they decided to combine the gas and brake pedals unlike Heusinkveld. That prevents me from positioning them further apart, since I prefer left foot braking. They are simply too close to be comfortable...

[@sulleysaad3266]

Their website states shipping available in Q1 2022 and not Q2 😀

[@boostedmedia]

Yep. Hopefully it keeps moving forward even more. :)

[@chrisstaples182]

I would like to hear more about these hpp pedals

[@boostedmedia]

We will be doing a review soon. As with any production model hydraulic pedals, we always put them through their paces due to the number of failures we experienced post-review in the past.

[@DerSiegwart]

I talked to them ad the SimExpo this year (Nürburgring). I told them, that the RGB-Stripe is absolutely useless. First thing I would turn off. If it doesn't make me faster or more consistent, I don't want it. But they could improve it. This stripe connected to the Brake sensor prevents you from braking on straights when you rest your foot. Because the RGB-Stripe would shine red, and you would recognize it. They told me that this is a great idea, and I saw their eyes saying - get outta here :-)

[@boostedmedia]

Interesting. One of the things we discussed with them was some potential lot more useful integrations with the addressable RGB strip too.

[@DerSiegwart]

@@boostedmedia so hopefully they've changed their mind, because this feature would be very useful.

[@matta2738]

RGB has to be worth at least a second a lap

[@boostedmedia]

Maybe I should have left it turned on. 😬

[@HERMITBOY]

@35:14 You did that company a favor, cause that noise reminds me of my Logitech pedals, makes it sound rather cheap, for a high end product.

[@boostedmedia]

It’s a metal to metal contact sound so doesn’t sound “cheap” like the click you get in logitechs. Took some convincing but yeah, we em think it’ll make a difference for those racing with other people trying to sleep, etc.

[@theonlyegg]

How about people with big feet? No lateral adjustment is a bummer.

[@boostedmedia]

I’m size 11 US an no problems even without offsetting the pedal pads, which gives you another 44mm of space between the pedals. I really don’t think it’s going to be an issue unless your feet are massive or you drive with flippers.

[@PistonBrokeGaming]

Waaaay, out of my price range for a set of pedals, i'll stick with my perfectly reasonable T-LCM pedals

[@boostedmedia]

Nothing wrong with T-LCMs :)

[@robertcarr4172]

Man, these high end pedals and wheels really are something else. Is there a big difference between load cell and hydraulic pedals? And here i am with a dying Thrustmaster tmx. Bleh... I'm going to have to quit sim racing for a few years until im able to afford to do it again. But Boosted media will remain one of my top channels to watch!

[@leolee2401]

very interested. but when I check the price, I realized that it is not mine lol

[@AsetekSimSports]

In time, we will also provide other pedals with more mid-range pricing while still providing very high quality. More is coming! :)

[@frankthetank642]

Heusinkvelt or azetek for you is better

[@boostedmedia]

This is covered in the video. Neither one is “better”, they’re both great but quite different from each other. Comes down to which suits you based on what we spent an hour and a half demonstrating in the video.

[@frankthetank642]

@@boostedmedia thanks ☺️

[@KREW1111]

These are the pedals I have wanted ever since they announced the concept. I've been waiting so long for them and then they slap an almost 1000$cad price tag on them?! No thanks. They need to release a budget friendly version with less fancy parts. No lights, no extra finishings, just a simple heavy duty build. At this point I'm about to pull apart my g923 pedal set and custom build them front he ground up with thicker metal and parts.

[@AsetekSimSports]

Totally understandable. We think Invicta's price range is fair for hydraulic pedals of this quality but we know it's not for everyone. In time, we will also provide other pedals with more mid-range pricing while still providing a heavy-duty, quality build. We hope they will be the right pedals for you! :)

[@kanapornfoutawekij563]

My kid might lick the pedal😂😂

[@MatFoxSimRacing]

I've noticed that despite the rig being extremely developed, all of your pedals are mounted in 'formula' config, but you mostly race GT cars in your videos. How about fashioning a 'GT' config solution for the rig to see how all of the top-end pedals perform in the inverted position?

[@gachiyuri]

Not trying to invalidate your desire to see pedals inverted, but calling them formula/GT configs is a misnomer. Most modern race cars have floor-mounted pedals, including GT3, TCR, WRC, etc.

[@boostedmedia]

Not really possible with our current setup due to the position of the screen above the pedals.

[@deadmau5kid]

Man i just don’t like the look of that baseplate. Looks cheap.

[@smk6469]

About $250 to $300 too much.
