asetek sim pedals Asetek SimSports La Prima Sim Racing Pedals Brake and Throttle

     Inspired by real-life racing, the La Prima™ Sim Racing Pedal set has been thoroughly tested by racers and sim racers alike. With that feedback in mind, the pedals were engineered and designed to give you a realistic brake experience without breaking the bank. 

     While  La Prima™ is our entry-level  series, make  no  mistake! Unlike  many  other  flimsy entry-level  pedals on the  market, we  have not  compromised  on  quality, materials, design, or  adjustability, as  these  are  identical  to  its  mid- and high-end siblings  Forte® and  Invicta™, With Invicta™ arguably  being  the  best  sim  racing   pedals ever built.   

     Instead of compromising on quality, performance or reliability, we have taken a differente route. Rather, we have chosen to make it an upgradeable pedal set. This means, that you can upgrade to the full Forte® experience by upgrading the LED and Throttle adjustment system. You can also upgrade the M.L.C.P.C.™ brake cylinder to a T.H.O.R.P.™ hydraulic brake cylinder.

     If you want the feeling of real racing and quality materials without breaking the bank, the La Prima™ pedal set is for you! Using The M.L.C.P.C.™ brake pedal technology, the brake pedal on the La Prima™ pedal set can be adjusted from soft to hard (by changing elastomers), and it will stay that way – unlike many other sim racing pedals on the market, where the hardness and feel will degrade over time.    

     When buying an Asetek SimSports ® pedal set, you buy into a platform, making it simple and easy to upgrade to Forte ® or Invicta™ at a later point! You simply buy your desired upgrade kit, and all you pay for is the upgrade itself. As such, your purchase of the La Prima™ pedal set will be future-proof. Better for you – better for the environment. 

INSPIRED BY REAL-LIFE RACING 

As well as being inspired by real-life racing, La Prima™ Pedals have been thoroughly tested by both racers and sim racers, and with that feedback in mind, the pedals are engineered and designed.    

It is not a coincidence that a race driver wants a brake pedal that, when fully depressed, feels like pushing a wall. Furthermore, La Prima™, while not hydraulic, will still offer you the “hydraulic sensation” of a fully depressed brake pedal, where you can still pressure, modulate and trail brake thanks to the 2-stage system inspired by Invicta™. To simulate the real-life experience, when applying 100% pressure to the brake, you will be able to apply further pressure, which gives the feeling of compressing the fluid in a real-life brake system.     

The Asetek SimSports ® M.L.C.P.C.™ (Mechanical Load Cell Powered Cylinder) brake cylinder gives you, shy of a full hydraulic system, an authentic race car driving experience. The sim racing pedal set is in every sense Made in Denmark – designed, engineered, and assembled in Denmark. The brake cylinder features a custom-designed load cell sensor that detects actual changes in force on the pedal face, up to 180 kg of force on the pedal face itself (with hardest elastomer 4000N depressed 12mm / until 2nd stage is engaged), making it the closest you will come to a realistic brake experience.   

Because the load cell sensor is implemented with a gearing, any user using anything from the softest to the hardest elastomer will experience the full load cell resolution from the released pedal to 2nd stage of braking.    

Why does it matter? When applying brake pressure as late as possible, you want to be able to use muscle memory to replicate that trail brake feeling going into the corner. By using muscle memory, your brain is wired to be able to brake at the same spot over and over on the track.    

Conversely, if you use a soft pedal, you will have to rely on foot or pedal position, disallowing your brain the ability to replicate with the same accuracy, and you will – guaranteed – lose important lap time. Just consider the fact that on a racetrack with 10 corners, gaining or losing 1/10 of a second on the brake means 1 second on your lap time.    

The design on the La Prima™ Pedals is engineered with user experience in mind, where all adjustable elements are colored to get you started quickly and to ensure intuitive and mostly toolless usage. The sim pedals are highly adjustable to help you channel your inner race car driver by changing the travel and hardness settings to your exact preference.
