  • Simagic KTM Xbow GT2 Steering Wheel is expected before the end of 2026
  • Joins Simagic’s newly released Aston Martin Valkyrie Steering Wheel 

Simagic unveiled its second officially licensed sim steering wheel today, adding the KTM Xbow GT2 Steering Wheel to its growing peripheral lineup.

The KTM wheel closely matches the real thing, so it carries over eight face buttons and two rotary encoders to the sim version. The new wheel also features similar paddle shifters and analogue clutch paddles, with thick suede grips and a large 5.5-inch central LED screen dominating (bumped up from the original’s 4-inch example).

The new wheel is constructed from aluminium and comes with two seven-way joysticks and two thumbwheels in a nod to sim racers’ growing need for RGB programmable buttons. The rest of the rim remains faithful to the look and dimensions of the real deal, however, including a digital dash that mimics the racecar’s (this will be editable in SimHub or Simagic’s proprietary SimPro software).

The KTM Xbow GT2 is designed for amateur racing drivers who want all the power and excitement of a GT3 car, but with more forgiving handling characteristics. The car is currently available to drive in Assetto Corsa Competizione, Assetto Corsa EVO and Rennsport.

Previewed in recent social posts as a silhouette, the KTM rim joins Simagic’s Aston Martin Valkyrie example as another strong brand partnership for the Chinese business, which also revealed today that it was working on bringing an Active Pedal to the market.

Although we don’t know the pricing details yet, it’s hoped the KTM wheel will follow the lead of its Valkyrie cousin by combining premium materials with a reasonable price, with orders opening in December. 

However, the KTM and Aston Martin wheels will be available to test at this weekend’s SimRacing Expo Frankfurt alongside Simagic’s newly revealed Active Pedal. The SimRacing Expo Frankfurt takes place between the 16th and 18th October 2026. Tickets are available in advance or upon entry.
