Logitech has broadened its range of sim racing products with the introduction of the G RS50 wheelbase, a new wheel hub, and the RS pedal setup. These items are positioned between the beginner G923/G920 Trueforce racing systems and the more advanced Pro DD11 system. The RS50 is a direct drive wheelbase featuring Trueforce feedback, providing a notable increase in peak torque compared to the entry-level options. Additionally, it works with PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms.
Features of the RS50 Wheelbase
The RS50 wheelbase offers a peak torque of up to 8 nm. It also includes Logitech’s Trueforce technology, which converts in-game physics into tangible forces, creating a more immersive driving experience. The wheelbase boasts 2,700 degrees of rotation and can be mounted on a desk using a clamp or installed in a sim rig with the included four T-nuts and bolts. It’s designed to be compatible with all RS and Pro series accessories and supports Xbox, PlayStation, and PC (versions for Xbox/PC and PS/PC are available).
The RS Wheel Hub
Accompanying the wheelbase is the RS wheel hub, available in Xbox/PC and PS/PC versions. This hub is compatible with the RS or MOMO × Logitech G steering wheels and features a quick connect mechanism for easy attachment to the RS50 wheelbase. It comes equipped with multiple front-facing buttons, a single joystick, and two adjustable dials, along with customizable RGB rev lights that can be set up through the G Hub software.
RS Pedals and Pricing
The standard RS pedals kit comes with a throttle and a brake pedal. The throttle utilizes a Hall effect sensor to detect distance, while the brake features a load cell system that gauges pressure. The brake’s 75 kg load cell has adjustable positioning and can be fine-tuned using G HUB. The pedal base allows for customization of the distance between pedals and has space for the RS clutch pedal, which is sold separately.
There are various combinations available for this sim racing gear. The RS50 wheelbase alone (PC version) is priced at $350, while the PlayStation compatible version is tagged at $450. The complete RS50 system, which includes the wheelbase, wheel hub, and rim, is available for $700 for both versions. The RS pedals are set at $160, and the RS clutch module is offered at $45. You can buy the wheelbase and RS50 system from the official website, but currently, only the RS50 System is listed on Amazon. The pedals are expected to be released later, around Q4 of this year.
