Asetek’s Dual Mode Shifter and Load Cell Handbrake set for October release

• Asetek’s Dual Mode Shifter and Load Cell Handbrake to be released in October
• Danish company set to appear at SimRacing Expo Frankfurt, 16-18th October

First announced in 2025 and publicly revealed at SimRacing Expo Charlotte this year, Asetek Racing’s Dual Mode Shifter and Load Cell Handbrake now have a firm release window.

Slated for October, we tested the Danish firm’s new peripherals in person and were impressed by their functionality.

The Dual Mode Shifter – as you’d guess – features both H-pattern and sequential modes, with eight ratios available. You can switch modes with a button under the unit, and a blanking piece locks out the extraneous gates for sequential use. This should go on sale for $219.

Exact release dates have yet to be revealed, but we’d expect to see both products at this year’s SimRacing Expo Frankfurt, 16th-18th October, where it will likely reveal more information on its Xbox-compatible Initium DD10 Wheelbase.

Asetek was recently acquired by Suzhou Chunqiu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. in a deal worth around $82M, and has plans to expand its future sim racing lineup.
