Hi everyone! Just an update for you. It appears there may be an issue as reported by 2 users with the way the Fanatec QR is designed and compatibility with the DD1/2 specifically. This is currently being investigated but for now I'd recommend holding off on purching this wheel if you are intending to use it with a DD1/2.

More specifically, the keyway on the Leox designed Fanatec compatible QR does not extend throughout the assembly, which means it only interfaces with the rubber retainer on the DD1/2, which can lead to the shaft on the DD1/2 being damaged.

The price is actually nowhere near as much as I thought it was going to be. I expected this to cost at least $800. Nice to see it's closer to the "affordable" price range.

I have a LeoXZ wheel and i love it. Couple of things.

1 - the USB model doesn't have shift lights working with Simhub yet. | Edit: They do after some delving.

2 - the plastics are fitted with push pins and come out of their fittings if you're not careful.

3 - Their customer service is great. Quick to respond and very helpful.

Awesome to see third party products in the Fanatec eco system. Very clean design, and ability to run without a cable is massive! I'm hoping they'll bring out slightly larger rims, especially as I already have the Fanatec F1 2020.

[TheSenseiAdan]

i have been waiting for this vid for a month now. I discovered this rim and wanted to get it but all the YouTube reviews where in Spanish or not that good so this is just beautiful

[db]

Something a lot of reviewers always fail to mention and i know it´s because it doesn't effect their "core audience", but there are a few of us out there, that use the clutches for brake and accelerator, so knowing what that is like on these wheels would be really good to know. For now i´m stuck with a Fanatec wheel just because that feature works. Maybe a fun future video... You try racing like that and give your opinion on who´s wheels do it best.

[youngyingyang]

Fanatec needs a formula wheel that has a large diameter and customizable backlight buttons.

[LukeVesty]

Totally agree with your closing comment that this actually looks like a real world racing wheel. Too often wheel designs for sim racing are overwrought and garish. This looks like something that belongs in a race car. Shame about those loose thumb encoders though!

[kletterle]

Expected this to be much more expensive than it is.
Been waiting for Fanatec to make a 1st party wheel like this, but looks like this one will be getting my money.
Thanks for the extremely helpful content!

[Sapjee]

I have been using this wheel for 2 months now, besides the hassle for updating the firmware which doesnt always work it is an amazing wheel. I am really pleased with it

[gmanuk]

This looks awesome, I will definitely look into this as I have wanted a fanatec compatible formula wheel with a screen for ages

[wwjnz]

Thanks for linking the website. When I looked up the company, I got the Facebook page and almost written them off.

Not bad. I only wish Fanatec would fully license this wheel to work with the wheelbases without having the USB teather. But this is still a great looking wheel.

[aaronmoore]

Just need that 290/300mm for me. Nice to see another wheel on fanatec. Price is amazing for what you get.

[wallstreetomegazoe]

Just bought this wheel, it is insane and amazing

[andrewharper]

Compared to a lot of the other custom wheels on the market this is great value. I’m very tempted. I think my only request (and being a huge endurance sim racing fan) I’d like a version with led buttons. Otherwise for the price point they are pretty incredible, when I first saw them I thought they must be mostly plastic so was surprised when I read most of the wheel is metal and carbon fiber.

[elisimracing]

I really like this wheel. The pro version might be the first one I buy after having bought the Fanatec McLaren

[jarrodclyne]

I have this wheel and love it, I agree with this review. I don't wear gloves and personally find the rotary encoders to be fine. Totally agree about the rubber quality and smoothness, I much prefer it to my Ascher f-28 for the reason that Will gives.

[zzmadd]

This is actually a nice product at a good price point. Hope they make a hweel withouth dash slightly cheaper...

[vladstefan]

One thing that I think is worth mentioning about hte pro version, those 2 hat switches are actuallly waay more impressive and usefulll than I expected - beeing also a rotary encoder.
I am using one of them to completly controll all the black boxes from iRacing.

As a downside.. I really dislike the quality of that "buttons frame"... it feels cheapish. Also, the analog paddles feel a little meh, but for this price point, I don't think someone can actually complain.

I also second everything you said about the wheel. I was really frustrated that there was no review out that was so in depth and I actually started to write a script myself, just for the comunity, but then you did this :D



GZ!

[Darkshine]

I got this wheel, very happy about it, and the costumer service is very good. I got big hands, at first was suprised by the small gap between the wheel and the shifters but after a fwew hours of driving i was used to it, i even prefer this gap now.

The encoders are a bit too softs hope they will stiffer those on next models.
