Fanatec’s ClubSport Universal Hub has been around for quite now, and while it serves its purpose well, it’s not exactly the prettiest thing to look at unless hidden behind a larger wheel and can be quite clumsy to work with.
Today, Fanatec introduced their new CSL Universal Hub which features a clever sliding design allowing it to be used with a wide variety of wheels with either 50 or 70mm stud patterns, and with a significantly lower price tag than the ClubSport Universal Hub, so let’s take a closer look!
