4.2.10 Elastomer Types
We include three (3) different elastomers from the factory that
provides different sensations.
• The yellow (white w/ text) elastomer is the softest and
provides easier travel on your brake pedal.
• The orange (green w/ text) elastomer is the medium and
provides a more realistic breaking experience. It is close
to the real deal, but not quite there. However, it is a happy
medium for most sim racers. The orange (green w/ text)
elastomer is preinstalled, by default, in the Forte™ pedals.
• The red (yellow w/ text) elastomer is the hardest. It provides
an ultra-realistic brake feeling like you would experience
in a Formula car. It is very hard, and to most people, it will,
instinctively, feel like kicking a wall. This gives you the
ultimate ability to train your muscle memory and shave those
all-important last hundreds of a second off your lap time.
Swapping the included elastomers will allow you to customize
the resistance on your brake pedal. As mentioned in Section
4.2.3, the elastomer does not make a difference to pedal travel.
Only how much force is required to get through the “soft stage”
and enter the “hard stage”.
These are our recommendations if you want to adapt your pedal
to something that will feel close to the real deal:
• Formula, LMP, and similar cars: Red (yellow w/ text)
• Rally, Nascar, and GT: Orange (green w/ text)
• Road cars: Yellow (white w/ text) elastomer
Note: Please be aware that only the included elastomer lengths,
hardness’s and types, or those sold on the Asetek SimSports™
Webshop, are officially supported by Asetek SimSports™. Failure
as a result of using different elastomer hardness’s, types, or
lengths will void your warranty.
