Simucube Valo GT-23 (Leather/Alcantara)

The Valo GT-23 is a stunning, high-end steering wheel that is ideal for GT, formula, and rally sim racing. The wheel includes two shifters and clutch paddles, as well as 18 RGB LED lights for customization (with Simucube Link Hub). The thumb rotary encoders, front-mounted knobs, and 7-way joysticks are thoughtfully positioned for intuitive access, allowing drivers to stay focused on the race without unnecessary distraction.

What makes this steering wheel stick out is its premium quality, from the meticulously crafted rim to the inputs that deliver consistent, tactile feedback. Every component is designed with durability and performance in mind. Additionally, Simucube's Valo GT-23 comes in two variations: leather and Alcantara. The choice comes down to personal preference and what feels best for your rig.

Simucube Tahko GT-21 (Orange/Black) 

Simucube’s compact and lightweight Tahko GT-21 could be the perfect fit for your rig if customization is a priority. Equipped with two adjustable magnetic paddles, a 7-way switch, ten industrial-grade buttons, and Simucube’s ultra-reliable wireless technology, it’s one of the most agile and race-ready wheels available. Each box includes the wheel, a customizable sticker set, Simucube Quick Release, and a CR2477N battery.

The Simucube Tahko GT-21 comes in both orange and black, giving sim racers the option to match their rig's aesthetics. But whether you prefer the bright orange or the sleek black coloring, the GT-21 delivers top-tier performance with a style that suits GT, formula, and rally racing.

Simucube Tahko Round-23 (Orange/Black)

The Simucube Tahko Round-23 is a 320mm round rim that is designed for versatility in drifting and rally racing. It's ideal for situations where more wheel rotation and wrist flexibility are needed. The wheel comes in both black and orange variations, and has two adjustable magnetic paddles, one 7-way switch, one rotary encoder, and ten industrial-grade buttons, similar to the GT-21. 

The Tahko Round-23 wheel is crafted with a CNC-finished steel rim, which is durable and ideal for high rotation disciplines. And if you’re generally a fan of the classic round-wheel design, this could be the ideal option.
