Six years ago, Simucube set the standard with the <\/span>Simucube 2 wheelbase <\/span><\/b>\u2014 a product that remains the trusted choice for racers who demand uncompromising quality. More recently, the <\/span>Simucube ActivePedal<\/span><\/b> redefined what sim racing pedals could be.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Today, we are doing it for the third time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We are excited to announce that major names are on board. BavarianSimTec and Lovely Sim Racing are the main tech partners at launch. BavarianSimTec already releases their first Simucube Link compatible Delta Pro SC, with GSI and Ascher expected to launch wheels in 2026. Delta Sim-Tech, P1sim, and SimCore also announce their first Simucube Link wheels at launch. SimRacingBay and Cube Controls are expected to come out with their wheels in 2026.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With this new technology, we are introducing <\/span>Simucube 3 wheelbase family<\/span><\/b>, the next generation of wheelbases, together with the new <\/span>Savu steering wheels<\/span><\/b>, and the new <\/span>Simucube Link Quick Release<\/span><\/b>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201c<\/span>The hard thing here is that every part of the simulator must be as good as possible. But who can make such things? Nobody can \u2013 because nobody can master everything. Instead, it’s always a joint effort from the best talents out there. The best talents making wheels, rigs, FFB devices and so on. This launch is all about teaming up. Aligning with best team to create the simulator of the future.<\/span><\/i>\u201d<\/span> “Our ecosystem is closed only to a point where we can guarantee the quality. Above that, it is open.”<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014 Hannu Harju<\/b>, CEO at Simucube<\/p>\n At the heart of the launch is <\/span>Simucube Link, <\/span><\/b>a technology platform which focuses specifically on racing simulation. After a decade as the world\u2019s main hardware provider for business-critical racing simulators, Simucube now brings that expertise to both professional and home users in the form of a complete platform. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The system is built on deterministic, real-time, and reliable communication with galvanic isolation over Ethernet, alongside other proven professional-grade technologies, to ensure reliability in every race.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201c<\/span>We needed something more than a PC connection. We needed a stable, responsive, and open platform. Platform, which can be scaled and act as a foundation for the future. That platform\u2026 is Simucube Link.<\/span><\/i>\u201d<\/span> \u201c<\/span>Simucube is at its core an industrial company, which allows us to create high-performance and reliable products. This is where we shine.<\/span><\/i>\u201d<\/span> The <\/span>Link Wheel Module<\/span><\/b> is a compact foundation that gives wheel builders everything they need to create professional-grade racing wheels. It integrates displays, LEDs, and input electronics into one fault-isolated architecture, while also offering:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Simucube 3 comes in three models <\/span>\u2014 Sport (15Nm), Pro (25Nm), and Ultimate (35Nm). All feature:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With Simucube 3, Simucube has discovered three major areas how to improve <\/span>feeling<\/span><\/b>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For this new generation of wheelbases, Simucube has completely re-engineered the control algorithm, each wheelbase is uniquely controlled.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This method allows us to tune the motor to its maximum precision and keep it silent.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This means consistent feeling across the entire lineup.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For the new generation of wheelbases, Simucube is introducing telemetry-based effects. This is additional info about the environment. Planned effects include things like road texture, ABS, and RPM.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For all three models, there can be found new motors that produce industry leading feedback for the user. Traditionally, Simucube wheelbases are using a type of electric motor where rotors permanent magnets are placed on the outer ring of the rotor.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Simucube 3 Ultimate wheelbases are designed to use Spoke type IPM electric motor, since the performance requirements were set so high that it needed to have completely new type of motor. In this type of motor magnetic field is pinpointed very densely. This means that the wheelbase can produce much higher torque levels and faster responses with less power supply.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With Simucube 3 wheelbases, Simucube is launching <\/span>Simucube Link Quick Release<\/span><\/b>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Simucube Link Quick Release is in the <\/span>shape of P3G polygon<\/span><\/b>, which is a harmonic shape, and it has an infinite amount of contact points. This makes this shape of a Quick Release appropriate for vibrating and high-torque applications.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Inside Simucube Link Quick Release, there is a brushless, contactless, and wearless power and data transfer system, and it is called <\/span>the LightBridge<\/span><\/b>. With this system, Simucube Link Wheel Module based wheels get the data and power delivered through the QR.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Simucube is focused on improving the user\u2019s experience. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With Simucube 3 wheelbases, Simucube is also bringing a <\/span>Control box<\/span><\/b> to the market. This is a device that replaces the original e-stop button box while bringing new features.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With Control box the user can adjust the settings on the system by using the scroll wheel without leaving the sim. An overlay is displayed on the computer screen.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Since the control box is part of the Simucube link system it will wake up Simucube pedals and other Link devices with the push of a button.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The new control box is delivered with every Simucube 3 wheelbase model.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
