Nacon has ventured into the sim racing market, introducing a new direct drive racing wheel and accessory bundle under the RevoSim branding. The RS Pure bundle, priced at £699, features a wheel base, rim, and load cell pedals aimed at competing with established brands like Fanatec and Thrustmaster. My hands-on experience at a recent press event in Paris revealed that while there are some minor issues, the bundle offers robust performance with strong force feedback, ideal for sim racing enthusiasts. The pedals feature an adjustable load cell for customizable braking sensitivity. Currently, it’s only compatible with Windows, but Nacon is exploring console support in the future.
What are the key features of Nacon's new RS Pure racing wheel bundle?The RS Pure bundle includes a 9Nm torque wheel base, a customizable rim with a quick-release system, and a durable pedal set featuring a 100kg load cell sensor for precise input. Additionally, the system allows for the customization of braking force and includes an app for adjusting settings.
Nacon recently acquired the WRC license, marking a significant milestone as it steps into the competitive arena of sim racing gear. This shift reflects the growing popularity of racing simulations and the demand for high-quality accessories that can enhance the gaming experience for dedicated players.
