Asetek’s Dual Mode Shifter and Load Cell Handbrake to be released in October
Danish company set to appear at SimRacing Expo Frankfurt, 16-18th October
First announced in 2025 and publicly revealed at SimRacing Expo Charlotte this year, Asetek Racing’s Dual Mode Shifter and Load Cell Handbrake now have a firm release window.
Slated for October, we tested the Danish firm’s new peripherals in person and were impressed by their functionality.
The Dual Mode Shifter – as you’d guess – features both H-pattern and sequential modes, with eight ratios available. You can switch modes with a button under the unit, and a blanking piece locks out the extraneous gates for sequential use. This should go on sale for $219.
Asetek’s Load Cell Handbrake features a mammoth 200 Kg load cell and also features dual modes of sorts, and is switchable between axis- or button-activated operation, and is set to cosr $179 when it finally goes on sale.
Asetek was recently acquired by Suzhou Chunqiu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. in a deal worth around $82M, and has plans to expand its future sim racing lineup.
