Overview
The Simucube 2 Pro sits in the middle of Simucube’s lineup and is the go-to choice for esports teams like Team Redline. The 25 Nm motor delivers more than enough torque for GT, prototype and formula cars, while the TrueDrive software allows you to load exactly the same force feedback profiles the pros use.
Who is this wheelbase for?
Perfect for:
- Competitive sim racers driving Endurance or GT3 championships
- Users who want to replicate the exact Team Redline setup
- Sim racers already investing in high-end pedals like Heusinkveld Ultimate+
- Anyone who wants maximum detail without clipping
Less suitable for:
- Beginners racing from a desk
- Console gamers (no PS/Xbox support)
- Racers with limited budgets – a Moza R9 or Fanatec ClubSport DD+ is more affordable
Force Feedback and TrueDrive
The Simucube 2 Pro uses its own servo motor with a huge slew rate. This allows you to feel micro-details of the asphalt and tire slip even before the car breaks out. Via TrueDrive:
- Load community profiles (Max Verstappen setup is publicly shared by Team Redline)
- Adjust filters, damping, friction and slew limiter per car
- Switch instantly between iRacing, rFactor 2 and ACC profiles
Installation and compatibility
- Standard comes with an SQR quick release; also works with Ascher Racing, Cube Controls and Precision Sim Engineering rims.
- Mounting holes use the 4x M8 pattern, allowing the base to fit directly on Sim-Lab P1-X and other 8020 rigs.
- A 480 W PSU provides stable power without active cooling – no fan noise.
Alternatives
- Simucube 2 Sport – 17 Nm, slightly cheaper for lighter rigs
- Leo Bodnar SimSteering2 – high-end alternative, but more expensive
- Moza R16 – 16 Nm, more favorably priced but fewer ecosystem features
Conclusion
If you’re looking for the same hardware Max Verstappen trains with, then the Simucube 2 Pro is the most logical choice. The combination of brute force, razor-sharp detail and TrueDrive profiles makes this a long-term investment for any serious sim racer.
Our rating: 9.7/10 – reference direct-drive wheelbase for esports and pro training.
