The Simucube 3 Pro 25Nm Direct Drive Wheelbase is built for sim racers who want exceptionally refined force feedback and plenty of torque in reserve. Its high-response, direct-drive-optimised surface permanent magnet (SPM) motor can generate up to 25Nm of peak torque, while a 23-bit absolute angle sensor and Simucube's revised control algorithm aim to deliver accurate, smooth steering response.
More torque isn't necessarily more fun when used at full strength. Where a high-end wheelbase earns its place is in the headroom it provides: set a comfortable normal steering resistance and preserve the capacity to reproduce bigger loads, rapid corrections and road-surface effects without immediately reaching the motor's output ceiling. It's an ideal companion for an ultra-rigid aluminium-profile racing cockpit.
Why Choose the Simucube 3 Pro?
25Nm of Direct Drive Power with Exceptional Headroom
The Pro delivers a maximum of 25Nm, but that does not mean you need to race with 25Nm constantly applied to your hands. Running a powerful base at more moderate strengths can give you a smoother sense of available reserve for cornering loads, kerbs and traction changes. Clipping can still occur if your simulator's force-feedback settings are saturated, so proper setup remains essential. Learn more in our Force Feedback: The More the Merrier? guide.
High-Response Industrial-Grade Motor
Simucube's direct-drive-optimised high-response SPM motor is engineered for responsive steering feedback with controlled operation. Combined with a redesigned control algorithm, the Simucube 3 family targets quiet, precise performance across different racing disciplines. The Pro sits above the 15Nm Sport and below the 35Nm Ultimate in the Simucube 3 range.
23-Bit Absolute Steering Position Sensor
The high-resolution absolute encoder provides over eight million discrete angular positions per revolution. That very fine measurement capability helps the control system track steering position accurately, complementing the motor hardware and Simucube's software processing. Resolution is only one part of the driving experience, but it is a substantial specification for a premium direct-drive base.
Updated Simucube Software and Telemetry Effects
The Simucube 3 platform introduces an updated tuning experience and supports additional game-telemetry-based sensations, including ABS, RPM and road-texture effects where enabled by compatible games and software. The result is a highly configurable wheelbase, whether you prefer understated GT-car steering or stronger high-downforce feedback.
Mounting, Compatibility and Cockpit Choice
We recommend fitting a 25Nm wheelbase to a very rigid cockpit. The UPSHIFT R-MAX 160x40 aluminium-profile sim rig is our preferred choice for this level of torque, providing a strong platform for the wheelbase and demanding pedal hardware. Front and bottom mounting are supported, but check the mounting-hole pattern and the specific mounting plate or bracket before ordering.
Simucube 3 supports compatible Simucube Link wheels and supported USB-cabled steering wheels. Older Simucube wireless-wheel setups may continue to work with the appropriate Link Hub and compatible wheel-side mechanical mounting hardware. Check the exact steering-wheel and quick-release requirements for your combination. The wheelbase is intended for PC sim racing; do not assume PlayStation or Xbox support.
Important: Simucube Link Hub and Quick Release Are Sold Separately
A Simucube Link Hub is REQUIRED to operate the Simucube 3 Pro. If you do not already own one, you must add it to your order. One Link Hub can be used across compatible Simucube Link equipment; you do not need a second hub merely because you add a new wheelbase to an existing compatible Link setup.
The Simucube Link Quick Release for Simucube 3 is also NOT included in this wheelbase listing. Depending on the steering wheel you intend to use, you will need suitable compatible wheel-side quick-release hardware. These are distinct products: the Link Hub provides connectivity, while the quick release secures the steering wheel mechanically. Please contact UPSHIFT if you need help selecting the correct accessories.

UPSHIFT Recommendation
If you want the premium refinement and substantial force-feedback reserve of a 25Nm system, the Simucube 3 Pro is a highly capable choice. We recommend pairing it with the R-MAX cockpit for a suitably rigid setup, and making sure you have the Link Hub and compatible steering-wheel quick-release hardware before purchasing.
