Released earlier this year, the Simucube 3 marked the start of a new era, replacing its revered predecessor. However, previous Simucube 2 steering wheels were not compatible with the new direct-drive wheel base – until now.

Simucube has announced a new Quick Release Adapter that allows users upgrading to the latest direct-drive wheel base to keep using their current Simucube 2 wheels.

Installation requires removing the Simucube 3’s original Link Quick Release interface with included fasteners and tools. Once installed, the supplied locking pin allows you to mount Simucube 2 Quick Release steering wheels onto the new wheel base.

Since it replaces the original Link Quick Release interface, wireless data and power transfer are not supported when using the adapter, but Bluetooth data transfer is still supported.

From our testing, we found the Quick Release Adapter easy to install, taking around five to ten minutes with easy-to-follow instructions and no additional tools. You also have to unplug a wire from a small control board and stuff it inside a hole within the QR system. This was a fiddly process, but not too difficult.

After installing the adapter and adjusting the quick-release locking pin gap to fit perfectly, our experience has been flawless with no further adjustments needed and no movement or flex.   

Available to order via the company’s website, the Simucube 2 Quick Release Adapter for Simucube 3 costs £59 / €49 / $99 and includes a three-year warranty.
