Simucube 3 Ultimate | The Pinnacle of Direct Drive Force Feedback

[00:00:00]This is the Simicube 3 Ultimate.

[00:00:03]The pinnacle of Simicube wheel bases.

[00:00:09]>> [music] >> 35 Newton meters, a new [music] spoke type IPM motor architecture, a new control algorithm, and industrial grade materials designed to last a lifetime.

[00:00:22]Built for the drivers who already know what good force feedback feels like, and they want the next thing beyond that.

[00:00:30]Simicube 3 Ultimate is the most advanced wheel base in the Simicube lineup. It is not a volume product by design. It exists to push the limit of what direct drive force feedback can be.

[00:00:45]At the center is a custom spoke type IPM [music] motor engineered specifically for sim racing. The result is 35 Newton meters of peak torque, the highest response speed in the Simicube 3 lineup, [music] and lower power consumption under load than any of the previous generation.

[00:01:03]But, torque alone is not the whole story. The real goal is feel.

[00:01:10]The moment a tire starts to load, the first sign of a slide, the texture of the road, those are all details that matter. And those are the details the Ultimate [music] is built to preserve.

[00:01:25]High-end sim racing hardware has become incredibly advanced. Stronger motors, more detailed simulations, more telemetry, more connected devices, and with that comes a new problem. Every extra layer can become a source of interference. Motor latency can smooth out detail, heat can change [music] behavior over long sessions, USB issues, grounding problems, and [music] electromagnetic interference can introduce noise. And in endurance racing or serious training, even a small inconsistency becomes a variable.

[00:02:02]And at this level, the goal is [music] simple.

[00:02:05]Lap 200 should feel like lap one. The biggest hardware difference on the ultimate model is the motor.

[00:02:14]The Sport and Pro use [music] S P M motors, but since the ultimate's performance is on a different level, it was created with an [music] I P M electric motor.

[00:02:23]With this type of motor, the magnetic field is pinpointed [music] extremely densely, which allows it to produce much higher torque levels and faster responses with a lesser power supply.

[00:02:34]But the motor is only half of the system. Like in the Simucube 3 Sport and Pro, the control algorithm in the ultimate was built from scratch. [music] A completely different architecture demanded a completely different approach to control. The result is the most precise motor control algorithm we [music] have ever shipped.

[00:02:54]In practical terms, the algorithm is sensitive enough to understand the physical behavior of your setup, your rig, [music] your mounting, the resonance characteristics of the system around it.

[00:03:05][music] It accounts for that.

[00:03:07]So, what reaches your hands is the signal from the car, [music] not the noise of your hardware. Each Simucube 3 Ultimate runs a software-based digital twin of itself.

[00:03:19]Through manufacturing, thousands of data [music] points are collected from each specific unit, and from that data, we build a complete digital representation [music] of that individual motor inside the control algorithm. The physical motor then follows that model. So, the algorithm is always controlling an ideal version of the motor with [music] real-world imperfections accounted for.

[00:03:40]Every unit is uniquely calibrated, but every unit is consistent [music] in feel. That's the point. Sharper, more detailed, more responsive, and quieter.

[00:03:50]The Simucube 3 Ultimate can also layer telemetry based effects on top of the base force feedback. ABS pulse, RPM vibration, [music] road texture, these are driven by the game's actual telemetry, not invented, >> [music] >> not approximated. When the in-game car feels it, the wheel transmits it. That turns the wheelbase into something more than an [music] output device. It becomes an information channel.

[00:04:15]Everything the race car feels, you feel.

[00:04:19]>> [music] >> The Ultimate runs on the SimuCube Link platform. The Link quick release delivers power and data through Light Bridge, a contactless system built for sim racing. It's a solid, zero play quick release built to handle the heaviest force feedback loads. Wheel swaps take seconds, and there's nothing in the connection designed to degrade over time. And with SimuCube Link hub, your rig connects through one reliable backbone, helping to protect against USB disconnections, power surges, grounding issues, and electromagnetic interference.

[00:04:55]The SimuCube Tuner software brings the wheelbase settings, telemetry effects, and device configuration in [music] one intuitive software experience. The result is a high-end system that does not ask for high maintenance behavior.

[00:05:08][music] You configure it, you trust it, and then you drive.

[00:05:13]The SimuCube 3 Ultimate was not built for everyone. It was built for the drivers chasing [music] the final 1%.

[00:05:21]For those who measure progress over hundreds of laps, who need the wheelbase to stay consistent from the first lap to the last. This is the wheelbase for drivers who do not want to wonder what comes next.
