Asetek Forte Sim Racing Pedals, Brake And Throttle
In addition to their adjustable nature, the Asetek Forte Pedals are also designed to be durable and reliable. They are constructed using high-quality materials and feature a sturdy, solid-steel frame. The pedals are also equipped with long-life potentiometers designed to withstand millions of cycles without degrading performance.
One of the unique aspects of the Asetek Forte Pedals is their use of “modulation technology.” This technology allows the pedals to simulate the feel of a hydraulic brake system, providing a more realistic and immersive experience for users. The pedals also have a “throttle modulation” feature, allowing users to simulate different vehicle acceleration and deceleration characteristics.
Overall, the Asetek Forte Pedals are a top-of-the-line option for sim racing enthusiasts looking for high-performance and adjustable pedals. Their adjustability, durability, and realistic feel make them popular among sim racers.
Brake Pedal Solutions By Asetek
Inspired by real-life racing, the Asetek Forte Pedals for Sim Racing has been thoroughly tested by racers and sim racers alike. With that feedback in mind, the sim pedals are engineered and designed. The M.L.C.P.C.™ (Mechanical Load Cell Powered Cylinder) brake cylinder is designed to give you a realistic brake experience and is rigorously tested with up to 180 kg of pedal force.
The design is engineered with user experience in mind, where all adjustable elements are coloured to get you started quickly and to ensure intuitive and mostly toolless use. Forte sim pedals are highly adjustable to help you channel your inner race car driver by changing the travel and hardness settings to your preference. And by using the Asetek SimSports® RaceHub™ software, you’re ready to race in no time.
Asetek SimSports M.L.C.P.C (Mechanical Load Cell Powered Cylinder) brake cylinder gives you, shy of a complete hydraulic system, an authentic race car driving experience. A sim racing pedal set is made in Denmark – designed, engineered, and assembled in Denmark. The brake cylinder features a custom-designed load cell sensor that detects actual changes in force on the pedal face, up to 180 kg of force on the pedal face itself (with hardest elastomer 4000N depressed 12mm / until 2nd stage is engaged), making it the closest you will come to a realistic brake experience.
Forte Pedals Brake and Throttle are compatible with the Invicta Clutch System.

GENERAL TECH & DIMENSIONS OF THE ASETEK FORTE
TECH SPECS
- Exquisite, radical, and minimalistic industrial Danish design (Registered Community Design No. 009148265-0001/0002/0003)
- Made in Denmark
- Adjustable pedal stops
- Adjustable travel settings
- All-black anodised aluminium pedal base and pedal arms with CNC machined contrast cut
- All-black anodised aluminium smooth and sock-friendly pedal plates allow hours and hours of comfortable use. The pedal plates can be adjusted vertically.
- Pedal base with integrated heel rest and RGB LED that can be adjusted, dimmed or turned completely off in the RaceHub software.
- Calibrations made in RaceHub will automatically be saved in our EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory). This results in calibration (pressures, deadzones and more) will remain saved for every simulator/game (You do need to set 0 and 100% values in the game)
- Only one USB connection to the PC from the pedal base, regardless of 2 or 3 pedal utilization.
- All adjustable mechanical features are by default coloured orange
- Inhouse-developed electronics with 16-bit resolution
- Easy to add a clutch pedal to the Forte Throttle & Brake combo
- Sustainable manufacturing with 100% on-site re-use of waste material
- Designed and tested to +1,000,000 activations, which far exceeds any race car specification
DIMENSIONS – ASETEK FORTE
- Depth, width, and height: 457 mm x 212 mm x 256 mm
- Weight: 3 kg
BRAKE SYSTEM
- The M.L.C.P.C. (Mechanical Load Cell Powered Cylinder) patent-pending brake cylinder gives you the experience of driving a real race car.
- Die-cast aluminium zero play pedal arm with integrated long durability ball bearings and bronze bushing at the clevis rotation point
- Sustainable manufacturing with 100% on-site re-use of waste material
- Load cell will sense up to 180 kg of force on the face of the pedal plate with the hardest elastomer 4000N depressed 12mm / until 2nd stage is engaged
- The geared ratio between pedal pressure and load cell deflection ensures constant and complete resolution to any user independent of elastomer hardness. Four thousand points in only 12mm inside the M.L.C.P.C cylinder from released pedal to 2nd stage 1/5th of a human hair.
- A two-stage system that mimics the hard- and soft stages of a real race car
- Two interchangeable elastomers for adjustment of hardness combined with an integrated physical stop and expansion chamber to mimic race car feel as well as not overloading the elastomers
- Manually adjustable initial touch hardness to mimic perfect brake pad to brake disc distance
- The pedal arm is designed for 200 kg of force and a burst pressure of up to 700 kg!
THROTTLE SYSTEM
- Die-cast aluminium zero play pedal arm with integrated long durability ball bearings and bronze bushing at the clevis rotation point.
- Sustainable manufacturing with 100% on-site re-use of waste material
- 16-bit magnetic wireless hall TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) with no mechanical wear and zero maintenance
- Custom throttle curves can be adjusted and 100% customised in the RaceHub software to mimic a natural race car butterfly opening. For example, a linear curve in dry conditions and a progressive in wet conditions
- Adjustable pedal hardness
- Adjustable pedal travel
- Adjustable pedal stop
- Interchangeable spring for a more significant step in pedal hardness
- The pedal arm is designed for 200 kg of force and a burst pressure of up to 700 kg!

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ASETEK PEDALS
If you have been looking for the best race car brake pedal feel, without going full hydraulic, look no further! The brake pedal on the Forte pedal set can be adjusted from soft to hard and it will stay that way – unlike many other sim racing pedals on the market, where the hardness and feel will degrade over time. It is not a coincidence a race driver wants a brake pedal, when fully depressed, feels like pushing a wall.
Furthermore, Forte, while not hydraulic, will still offer you the “hydraulic sensation” of a fully depressed brake pedal, where you can still pressure modulate/trail brake thanks to the 2-stage system inspired by Invicta™. In real life, it will feel like the brake pedal when pressed 100% and hard, still will react to further pressure like when trying to compress the fluid in a brake system.
