1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Asetek SimSports™ Forte™ pedals.
We strongly encourage you to read through this manual
thoroughly in its entirety. The Forte™ Pedals is a premium product
made to fit each user.
Inspired by real life racing, the Forte™ Sim Racing Pedal set
has been thoroughly tested by racers and sim racers alike.
With all their feedback in mind, the pedals were designed
and engineered to give sim racers an amazingly immersive
experience. The M.L.C.P.C.™ (Mechanical Load Cell Powered
Cylinder) brake cylinder is designed to give you a realistic brake
experience and is rigorously tested with up to 180 kg of pedal
force. They have an excellent baseline adjustment out of the
box, and we strongly encourage you to drive for 5+ hours with
the baseline adjustments before changing anything. After that,
your full immersion racing experience is unlocked when they are
adjusted to your personal preference.
