Asetek SimSports Forte S-Series Brake & Throttle Pedal Set

The Asetek SimSports Forte S-Series Pedals are engineered for serious sim racers who demand exceptional precision, durability, and customization. Featuring Asetek's innovative Mechanical Load Cell Powered Cylinder (MLCPC) brake technology and a contactless Hall-effect throttle sensor, the Forte S-Series delivers a highly realistic racing experience without the complexity of hydraulic systems.

Designed, developed, and assembled in Denmark, these premium pedals combine motorsport-inspired engineering with extensive adjustability to suit every driving style and racing discipline.

Highly Adjustable Pedal Layout

The Forte S-Series allows drivers to tailor the pedal positioning to their exact preferences.

Adjustable Pedal Spacing

The brake and throttle pedals can be positioned up to 100 mm apart, allowing you to create the ideal layout for:

• Formula-style driving
• GT racing
• Touring cars
• Heel-and-toe techniques

This flexibility ensures maximum comfort and control during long racing sessions.

Advanced MLCPC Brake Technology

At the heart of the Forte brake pedal is Asetek's Mechanical Load Cell Powered Cylinder (MLCPC) system.

Unlike traditional hydraulic solutions, MLCPC provides:

• Highly realistic brake feel
• Consistent performance
• Reduced maintenance requirements
• Exceptional precision

The brake pedal can handle forces of up to 180 kg, allowing drivers to train and race using realistic muscle memory.

Adjustable Brake Feel

Fine-tune the brake pedal from:

• Soft and progressive
• Medium resistance
• Firm GT-style feel
• Extremely stiff race-car braking

The two-stage brake system accurately simulates both the initial pedal travel and the harder braking phase found in real race cars.

Precision Hall-Effect Throttle

The throttle pedal uses a 16-bit magnetic wireless Hall TPS sensor, delivering:

• Contactless operation
• Zero wear over time
• High-resolution input accuracy
• Maintenance-free performance

Throttle response curves can be fully customized within RaceHub software to simulate different vehicle characteristics and driving conditions.

Extensive Software Customization

Using Asetek SimSports RaceHub, racers can configure:

• Pedal spacing
• Pedal travel
• Brake hardness
• Dead zones
• Throttle response curves
• Brake feedback settings

All settings are stored directly on the pedal set's onboard memory (EPROM), ensuring your preferences remain intact regardless of the game or simulator being used.

Premium Danish Engineering

The Forte S-Series pedals are built from:

• Black anodized aluminum
• CNC-machined components
• High-strength structural elements

The throttle pedal arm can withstand:

• 200 kg operating force
• Up to 700 kg burst force

An integrated heel rest provides additional comfort, while built-in RGB lighting adds a premium touch to your simulator setup.

Built for Durability

Every Forte pedal set undergoes extensive validation and testing, including:

• Over 1,000,000 activation cycles
• Rigorous quality control
• Long-term durability testing

Asetek also focuses on sustainability by reusing 100% of production waste materials wherever possible.
