4.2.2. Forte™ Brake & Throttle Pedals
Through this chapter, you will learn more about the adjustment
options related to the throttle.
If you have been looking for the best race car brake pedal feel,
without going full hydraulic, look no further! The brake pedal
on the Forte™ pedal set can be adjusted from soft to hard and it
will stay that way – unlike many other sim racing pedals on the
market, where the hardness and feel will degrade over time. It is
not a coincidence a race driver wants a brake pedal, when fully
depressed, feels like pushing a wall.
When applying brake pressure late you want to be able to use
muscle memory to replicate that trail brake feeling going into
the corner. By using muscle memory your brain is wired to
be able to brake at the same spot over and over on the track.
Conversely if you use a soft pedal, you will have to rely on foot or
pedal position, disallowing your brain the ability to replicate with
the same accuracy and you will – guaranteed – lose important
lap time. Did you ever consider on a racetrack with 10 corners,
gaining or losing 1/10 of a second on the brake, means a second
on your lap time?
Forte™, while not hydraulic, will still offer you the “hydraulic
sensation” of a fully depressed brake pedal, where you can still
pressure modulate/trail brake thanks to the 2-stage system
inspired by Invicta™. In real life it will feel like the brake pedal
when pressed 100% and hard, will still react to further pressure
like when trying to compress the fluid in a brake system.
The design is engineered with user-experience in mind, where all
adjustable elements are color coded to get you started quickly,
and to ensure intuitive and mostly toolless use. The Forte™ sim
pedals are highly adjustable to help you channel your inner
race car driver, by changing the travel and hardness settings to
your exact preference. You can easily adjust hardness, “caliper
to disc gap”, travel and much more. And by using the Asetek
SimSports™ RaceHub™ software, you’re ready to race in no time.
