I have the Pro and I have absolutely no regrets. It's performed flawlessly since I got it last year. It's a lot to spend, but I'd do it all over again. I probably would have been fine with the Sport; I don't need the extra torque of the Pro nor do I need the extra slew rate for iRacing at least. 4.8 is already faster than a real car anyway from what I hear. The flexibility is where it's nice to have the additional headroom. This wheel can do almost anything.

POV: watching a review of a product I bought 5 years ago

[rajeshkannan_s]

One thing that is different between ultimate and Sport/pro is warranty. Warranty on Ultimate is 5 years vs Pro/Sport is 2 years. Even if your pro wheelbase fails after warranty period, you can buy another one and still save little bit of money.

[apexvisiontv]

I have a buddies with the pro and the sport models. Both are killer for sure! Would love to see the Sport vs VRS vs Asetek Forte at some point!

[norm_olsen]

This past winter I upgraded from my Fanatec CSL Elite belt driven wheel base to the Simucube 2 Pro (the difference is staggering!) The reason I went for the pro over the sport was because of an older video on this channel discussing the differences like we have here in this one, and much like the conclusions found here, due to the increased slew rate of the pro vs sport and the reasonable price difference, this is why I sided with the pro. Videos like this are fantastic and really helps dispel the myths of bigger is always better and instead focuses on real world scenarios and what players' expectations and their overall understandings should be!

[Renirode]

I got the Sport since 4 years and still really happy with it

[Wittygoose]

Sold my Alpha U based on a few gremlins and some of your views on Simagic vs Simucube and must say it’s worth the extra money. Fantastic product

[SecondHandRacing]

Bought my sport and a gsi x-29 wheel combo from Microcenter for 1000 dollars. I have no regrets.

[vjcST]

Good explanation! Finaly everybody can see diference between entry DD Fanatec 5Nm and TOP tier! I am on Asetek Invicta spec are bit over Pro for same price, with better QR end some others extras, absolute stuning FFB 🙂

[JonRacesCars]

Did you use the same True Drive settings for all bases? Always wondered how much different using a shared Ultimate profile with Overall strength set to 15 Nm with Slew Rate Limit set to 1.50 on a Pro base feels. Alternatively using a Sport profile on a Pro base.

I'd like to see a video on the True Drive software and your settings for different sims and how in-game settings affect feel.

[mikesayler]

I have had the sport for 3 years and I have it set for 15 nm on Iracing and I love it. It’s a great wheel and I don’t have clipping with head room at 17 nm. I would recommend it.

[scrubberfred]

Top quality video that was what I was talking about back when I was involved in the industry. I personally went the pro back when they were first released.

[monyx]

Still rocking a Simucube1 20Nm Mige, the good gear gets supported for longer: despite SC1 being discontinued I was (with a bit of hunting) able to buy Simucube BT unit for wireless wheel, upgrade the encoder to 22-bit & install driver updates through to Aug 2023. The latter might have ceased, but still is fine DD wheel in regular use today and Simucube keep some old the SC1 boards in stock as spares for existing owners. Simcore used to sell BT module but seem sold out, new Simucube Link Hub will connect to wireless wheels.

[anubis_phoenix]

Thanks for the content Will. I got into sim racing watching your initial overview/review of the simucube 2 models couple years ago. I have the Sport and I'm still debating myself with stepping up into the Pro. The Sport never missed a beat since day 1, I've recently been going back and forth with a change.

[steveaxisafarrell]

just ordered the simucube 2 pro and used your code, cant wait! 😍

[kontoname]

Fully agree with the verdict - I've never seen anyone doing competitive racing at 30nm, ever.
And frankly I consider it nothing but a nuisance and extremely dangerous - especially the spikes are something you do not want ever - they might just be the thing breaking a finger or at least making you regret that race and having a sore wrist / whatever for a day or a few.
11 is fine for pretty much most people, 15 is a lot already 20 is basically already gym territory - at those force you should question if you really wanna drive a car or just wanna work out.
The only possible use case I could imagine is maybe a go kart training setup - but those are weird to simulate anyway.

[phillberry]

I've had a pro since they were released and always run it at 100% in true drive and run whatever the car will produce Nm wise, I've never been tempted to turn it down.
I'm also over 2m tall and 120kg, so I'm probably better equipped to handle it than your average simracer.
I don't think I'll ever need to upgrade.

[dominatorzgaming]

I'm actually hoping a Simucube 3 will pop up any time soon.... with passthrough USB quick disconnect ^^

[alexanderdiak]

i have the pro, can't imagine i'd want to upgrade for a very long time

[UKDagnar]

Run my 15nm base at 65% most of the time, turn it down to 50% when my teenage son uses it (so about 10nm / 8nm). Only thing I notice at 100% is the fatigue that sets in after 5 or 6 laps, at 65% I'm fine.
