Asetek SimSports is taking elements from its range-topping Invicta sim racing steering wheel, and filtering them down to other models in its range.

The premium device was unveiled last year with premium materials, an in-built screen and a high level of customisation. In our hands-on test, we labelled it a “work of art”.

Watch our Invicta wheel review above, elements of which are now on Forte wheels

Now, the mid-spec Forte wheels (Formula and GT) by the Danish manufacturer have received aluminium buttons, switches and encoders from the Invicta – on paper, a noticeable quality enhancement.

The upgraded encoders specifically can be ordered in black or orange aluminium.

In another change, the Forte line-up is now sold as a button box, minus the handles required to turn it into a usable wheel. Then, the customer selects which handle to add on – there are four to choose from, including ones adorned in suede or XL in size.

It follows a slight tweak to the entry-level La Prima range. Minus the aluminium inputs, the models were recently launched in a black and grey colour combination, sitting alongside the existing orange option.

The new items are available from today, 24th February 2025. The Forte Formula Button Box retails for €499.99 and the GT for €339.99. There is 5% off by using the Traxion affiliate link and checkout code ‘traxiongg’.
