Simucube has unveiled the Valo GT-23 Simrace Steering Wheel

Simucube, a leading innovator in the world of high-performance sim racing equipment, is excited to introduce its latest product: the Valo GT-23 steering wheel. Although the Valo GT-23 wheel was showcased at the Sim Racing Expo 2022, it is now finally available for sim racers to purchase.

The new steering wheel offers advanced features and a robust, stylish appearance. The Valo GT-23 wheel features dual clutches with hall-effect sensors, enabling quick launches or convenient handbrake control, ensuring hands stay on the wheel at all times. The 18 RGB LEDs provide in-game telemetry data, ensuring fast response times.

The grand aim of the design process was to make a statement and proudly showcase what Simucube is truly capable of in the realm of steering wheels. The result is a completely black wheel on the front, with orange raw energy captured inside and underneath, perfectly reflecting the essence of the people for whom it is made. Revealing the raw edge was deliberately avoided to achieve a design that deviates from the typical angular style. A dualistic style was retained, balancing the pure smooth front panel with a functional rear part.
