4. Getting Started
This section will teach you how to get your clutch set up and
running. Later in the manual, you will learn much more about the
fine-tuning and software.
4.1 Installing your Pedals
4.1.1 Tools Required
To mount the pedals in your cockpit, you will need the following
tools:
• Allen key, 3 mm (not included)
• Allen key, 5 mm (not included)
• Key wrench (not included)
Note: Use the allen keys supplied with the Asetek SimSports
Invicta Brake & Throttle
4.1.2 Optional Tools
Depending on your rig and mounting preference, you may also
need the following tools:
• Pencil or marker
• Screwdriver
• Power drill
4.1.3 Mounting to your Rig
The pedals are intended to be solely used while mounted to a
sim racing rig.
The clutch has two (2) mounting holes in fixed positions. As such,
all adjustments to the positioning of the base must be handled
by your rig.

9
The baseplate is designed to be used with M6 screws, and holes
in your rig should be with Ø6,4 diameter. It is also compatible
with the included M6 slot nuts.
The Asetek SimSports Invicta pedals are designed to withstand
an extreme amount of force. Therefore, it is paramount that you
install them on a very rigid base. Ideal conditions are aluminium
profile cockpits or a thick metal baseplate (as a minimum, we
recommend: 3 mm, steel).
Mounting your pedals:
1. Carefully remove excess dust and debris from the
installation location.
2. Dismount the Invicta Brake & Throttle
3. Unscrew the M6x5 set screws from the brake & throttle

10
4. Insert the connection pins in the connection holes of the
clutch
Make sure that the holes in the guiding pins are pointing upwards.
5. Place the clutch next to your brake & throttle.
6. Use the guiding pins to align the clutch to the brake and
throttle.
7. Insert the guiding pins of the clutch into the holes on the
side of the brake & throttle.

11
10. Align the holes in the clutch to the two existing mounting
holes in your sim racing cockpit, if available.
11. Mount the clutch and brake & throttle to your sim racing
rig.
If there are holes available:
12. Mount the clutch to the existing holes using
two (2) provided M6x20 bolts, two (2) washers, and
two (2) hex nuts or two (2) M6 slot nuts (depending
on your rig).
9. Route the cable under the Invicta Brake & Throttle through
the bezel and insert the cable to the Invicta Clutch
8. Use the four (4) M6x5 set screws from above to secure the
guiding pins in place.

12
If there are no holes available or they do not line up, you can use
the mounting schematics available here: https://www.asetek.
com/simsports/product/invicta-pedals-clutch/ or continue to
step 13.
13. Mark the drilling locations.
14. Remove the pedal and drill two (2) Ø6.4 mm holes.
15. Mount the pedal to the holes using the two (2)
provided M6x20 bolts, two (2) washers, two (2) hex nuts
or two (2) M6 slot nuts (depending on your rig).
Remember to attach the Invicta Clutch to the Invicta Brake &
Throttle before mounting, described from step 4 to 11.
Congratulations. You have successfully mounted your Asetek
SimSports Invicta pedals to your rig. Enjoy the ride!
Do not use the pedals without mounting them according to the suggested surface

4.2 Adjusting the Pedals
Avoid eye contact with the lubrication grease and wash hands thoroughly after adjustment.
The Asetek SimSports Invicta Clutch feature multiple mechanical
adjustments, that can be made to increase the precision,
performance, and experienced immersion. In this section we will
teach you have to easily make these adjustments and further
unleash your passion for sim racing.
The clutch is a crucial part when the race begins, and the drivers
needs to get in front of the grid. We have developed a clutch which
features a proper bite point. In development, we have tried to
replicate the release baring of a real car, which gives a proper kick
back of the clutch. The bite point is the exact moment where the
clutch connects, and your race car moves forward.
It is essential to make sure you have the correct pedal angle in any
racing style. Setting this correctly will allow you to use muscle-
memory to your advantage, and make you go even faster around
the track!
The clutch is set up in its default configuration (out of the box) to
give you maximum immersion. In other words, they are set up to be
focused on realism – like what you would find in a real race car. In
combination with the Invicta Brake & Throttle, the Invicta Clutch is
as default position, further forward from the brake to ensure that
you will hit the brake pedal as the first thing in an emergency on
track.
The setup of the Invicta pedals (clutch and brake & throttle) is how
it works in a real race car. We recommend you drive for several
hours first and try to adapt. In a real race car, where you often have
different drivers in the car (as well as in many endurance sim races),
the pedals are adjusted like the above, and there is no opportunity
to change that specifically to any driver.
If you prefer settings otherwise, the pedal angle can easily be
adjusted, due to the easily adjustable toolless system.

14
4.2.1 Pedal Face Plate Adjustments
Do not use a power drill, as this may damage the screws.
Invicta pedal face plates can be adjusted along the X and Y-axis.
It will allow the pedals to accommodate a variety of different
shoe sizes and increase performance and comfort for anyone
using the pedals.
To adjust the position, follow these easy steps:
1. Remove the screws with an allen key from the pedal
face plates
2. Align the pedal arms’ holes with the pedal face plates’
desired holes.
Only use the holes marked green for mounting.
3. Insert and fasten the screws with an allen key.
Note: The screws can bite hard, so be careful not to overtighten
or have the tool slip. Recommended torque: 2nm

15
4.2.2 Clutch Pedal Angle Adjustment
To make sure your pedals are set up just the way you like them,
the Invicta Clutch pedal offer the possibility of adjusting the
angle of the pedal. The adjustment is a simple process. Simply
follow the instructions below:
1. You can adjust the pedal stops on the clutch
pedal by loosening the locking thumbnut
3. Once you have achieved your desired
position, tighten the locking thumbnut
2. Push the pedal slightly forward, and rotate
the thumbscrew (Clockwise to move the
pedal forwards, counterclockwise to move the
pedal backwards)

16
4. Recalibrate your clutch in RaceHub
(see section 5.3 Pedal Calibration)
We suggest that you have the brake pedal arm tilted a bit more
forward that the throttle and clutch, as in a real car. Imagine
driving a race car and things go wrong and you are losing your
car, you would rather press the brake than the throttle to avoid a
potential crash.
4.2.3 Clutch Preload Adjustment
Adjusting the preload on the clutch spring will shorten the
overall spring length, increasing the amount of force needed to
activate the clutch initially. Doing so will keep the clutch curves
the same but change the initial power required to activate it.
Adjusting the clutch preload can be done in three (3) simple
steps:
1. Turning clockwise, loosen the uppermost thumbnut, which
locks the lowermost thumbnut in place. It is the one
closest to the pedal itself
2. Adjust preload on the spring by turning the bottom
thumbnut (in contact with the spring):
a. Counterclockwise to tighten the preload, making the
clutch require more force to engage.
b. Clockwise to reduce the preload, making the clutch
require less force to engage.

17
3. Turn the uppermost thumbnut counterclockwise to
retighten it, locking the bottom thumbscrew in its position.
4. Recalibrate your clutch in RaceHub.
Remember to adjust the pedal stop, to make sure the pedal arm rests on the pedal stop and not
the spring.
4.2.4 Clutch Travel Distance Adjustment
The clutch can have its travel distance adjusted. This allows
you to set a new pedal stop of your clutch pedal – essentially
reducing the distance of activation and the feeling of resistance
as you move through less of the available spring distance.
The process can be done in four (4) simple steps:
1. Loosen the thumbnut on the pedal stop, behind the pedal
arm, by rotating it counterclockwise.

18
2. Use an allen key to adjust the height of the allen screw.
3. Re-tighten the thumbnut by rotating it clockwise.
4.2.5 Change Clutch Pedal Curves
The clutch often has a light force at end of the travel before the
pedal kicks back. The Asetek SimSports Invicta Clutch allow the
end-user to switch between different the force curve settings.
You can adjust the clutch pedal curves by switching between the
four available holes in the pivot bracket, visualized in the above
illustration.
4. Recalibrate your clutch in RaceHub.
