What if I told you you could buy a Direct Drive sim racing wheel that’s compact enough to easily stash away when not in use, packs more punch than most people will ever need, and costs half as much as a comparable system from another brand?
Meet the Cammus C12 Direct Drive Sim Racing Wheel.
Sound too good to be true? Let’s find out!
With 12Nm of peak torque and an incredibly small footprint, the Cammus C12 Sim Racing Wheel is taking shots at the likes of Fanatec, MOZA, Simagic and Asetek. So at US$549, why wouldn’t you go for the Cammus C12?
Well, peak force feedback strength isn’t everything so we took a deep dive into the Cammus C12 to see how it stacks up against similarly priced options, as well as similar more expensive wheel bases that offer similar strength.
