Simagic Alpha Ultimate Wheelbase Review

The Alpha Ultimate Wheelbase is the flagship model from Simagic that produces a whopping 23 newton meters of power at a price point lower than many of their competition. With a name of "Ultimate" we do expect a lot from this base. Can it live up to its name?? Find out in our review.

Simagic has produced a lot of high end products for sim racing recently. This includes just about every component that sim racers need and a various price levels.

I'm rocking a Alpha Mini and love it. Now, I'm already eyeballing this. What kind of monster have I become!?!

[svtcontour]

I just got the Alpha today (coming from Logitech G29 setup) so hopefully I'll be getting deeper into the hobby

[XBOW]

Have it for 1 month actually with FX wheels.
So far so good, loving it

I received the combo alpha ultimate+fx pro last week and i am totaly blown away. I come from t300 rs so the gap is uge. I never tried other DD before so iam a novice with that kind of base. Really not disappointed so far. My chassis lacks a bit of rigidity but I will eventually change it

[brunoabrantes]

Thank you Shawn! This video just made me decide to buy it

[chrisanders]

Awesome review, very helpful I’m debating on upgrading to simagic from Fanatec CSL DD 8NM

[regibson]

You're not limited to simagic wheels. You just need a wheel that has USB and a D-spec wheel side quick release.

Thanks for the video! What FFB settings do you find are optimal? Ideally for ACC but any starting point would be helpful! Thanks!

How is the finer information here? I'm not looking for a boat load of more strength as my GT-DD is maxed out at 8NM and feels cool. But I want or am looking for quick response and fine detailed info to transmit to my hands. I've seen some high end hard core sim guys who use Sumcube state that this Alpha U surprised them big time. That's what I want to know.

Good review as always. I think it would be great for your channel if you did 4k videos. Us techies like to see the equipment and wheels and pedals in high definition. And 1080p just looks a bit dated now.

[BuggyMan]

How would you compare this to the lower alpha?

[eliottcompadre]

Nobody comments that the SimPro manager software is very incomplete, there is no way to save profiles in the internal memory of the wheelbase, before it was possible, so i feel more like a beta tester, and i dont like that after pay this much money to simagic

[cantfeelthis]

How would you say it compares to maybe the asetek or sc2 pro or even moza r21?

[chrisredfield]

Do you think it’s a good upgrade from Fanatec DD2 ?

[chrispapa]

Great review. Did you see any difference from the alpha?

[LowBlow]

just an observation but I wouldn't be mounting that emergency stop so you have to reach past your wheel to get it, bearing in mind that in a situation where you would actually want to use that stop button your wheel is going to be spinning like crazy with a lot of force.

[bowuf]

Is this wheel base supported with good drivers, etc? On par with Fanatec (windows based games anyway)?

[LondonBikerReal]

I heard you refer to the Leo Bodnar sim steering. Do you have any available to make a review please? The last review for Leo Bodnar was in 2018 and other reviews are from 7-10 years ago. Are they still relevant? Do they have good Software support? Why is it still being used by professional drivers such as Max Verstappen, Lando Norris. Is it better than the Simucube 2 Ultimate? Is it consumer friendly or do you need to have someone specialised to install it and set it up

[levinste]

Is it worth to upgrade from Mini to Ultimate ? I'm not talking about the 10 Nm vs 23
Generally speaking. Is there a difference ??
I'm using the Alpha Mini wheelbase with FX Pro wheel

I'm a bit confused.
10 Nm vs 15 vs 23 Nm
I'm okay with 10 Nm.
What is actually the difference between the Mini and the Ultimate, except for the Nm??
For example, if Ultimate is set at 10 Nm and Mini as well, 10 Nm, do they feel the same?
Has the Ultimate more " power " vibrations, etc, vs the Mini, when both are set at 10 Nm?
What about the noise / heat ?! Does the big brother, Ultimate, generate more noise/ heat, vs Alpha Mini?
Any advices are welcome, thank you in advance

[wlg]

Hi !!! I got the mini !! its normal heat ??
