The Asetek Forte Pedals are NOT what I expected! | Review 

I got the fortes and love them. Upgraded from fanatec v3’s and I’m able to brake later and more consistently with trail braking not being a problem. Took a while to get used to them for sure. I use socks and have no problem with comfort.

Thanks for the review

Nice looking pedals and you can get use to anything, but I like a normal load cell pressure based setup.

I haven't had a single issue with my Forte pedals, fingers crossed. I really like them but the curve to getting used to the super stiff brake was steep. I drive with socks but very thick ones and it's fine for me

Had them. WOrked nice but I never got on with that base plate so sold them and wnet to Imsim pedals. Very happy now.

The connection problem happens because of the cable. Mine kept randomly disconnecting but since bought a new cable I've never had the same problem. Therefore, the solution is to buy a brand new USB-A to USB-C. I hope this helps.

Joe I have the Invictas and never had an issues with connections or disconnecting.

I'm buying a new simrace cockpit and i have two questions: 1) Are this pedals compatible with a fanatec dd1 base? 2) Are this pedals compatible for a Playseat F1 ultimate cockpit mount?

Nearly had me but Dan Suziki set the record straight with these went another route instead and bought VRS

Just placed my order for the invicta pagani set 👌🇩🇰 Tip off the day : when racing with hard/stifg pedsls lift your heel up and use your leg to put pressure (like real driver do ) yull have way more controll and wont hurt your ancles 👌

Nice Review, even though I thought it would be more negative xD

In the uk these pedals are the same price as the moza crp pedals and has a clutch, wanted to see how much better these pedals are if at all in comparison

Hallo, gibt's das Video auch auf deutsch? Kann mich schwer so lange konzentrieren 😅

thought about getting them but after dans vid i went for bj steel ones so far i dont regret it

Bought them, sent it back after couple of days, because the brake feels bad and thanks Dan_Suzuki choose the VRS pedals, the best pedals for 550eu!

3:31 how about a thin piece of rug placed over the stripes ? Heck caulk the bugger down if you like it and your good to go :>)

US sizes are one size bigger than UK sizes btw and if you have super large feet at an 11....I have a UK size 12

They certainly look the part.

Generally confused on why Dan had so much issues with the pedals as well as your self while boosted media raved about them and put them toe to toe with the sprints. Maybe calibration differences? Or driving style differences? Very odd to see such polar opinions on sim gear

During the connection problems, were you guys using the usb-c to usb-a cable? I was using that cable and had connection problems too sometimes (also 50%brake and 50% throttle input). When I switched to the usb-c to usb-c cable I have never had connection issues. Edit: Also one thing to note. The brake pedal being similar to a potentiometer is imo still not something to be said as a downside. At the start of every LC pedal set it's life, 100kg of force will be the same travel distance every time, it too will just measure similar to a potentiometer setup this way. Over time though, the elastomers of other pedalsets will deform and lose their strength. Because Asetek has encapsulated their elastomers, and thereby restrict the amount they can deform, they will not lose their strength (anywhere nearly as quickly). So where with a heusinkveld sprint or venym atrax pedal the elastomer can lose it's power and your pedal travel will change slightly, whereas with this it will stay the same and therefore it doesn't matter much that it tracks pedal travel, since the force you are exerting will virtually always be the same. I bought them before I saw Dan Suzuki's review and when I bought them I was under the impression that they really were like every other load cell pedal. Would I have preferred it to be that way? Yes, of course. After having used them for around 4 months now though, do I care or do I notice that they don't function like every other load cell pedal? No I don't. They are still a very nice pedal set, I can be accurate with it, I have good control, they are very smooth in operation and I am a happy customer.

I don't particularly like Asetek, because it's holding hostage all AIO watercooling with the "head/pump" patent. I saw glowing reviews of these pedals from everyone and almost bought them. But thankfully I came across Dan's video, and went with Sprints instead*. Something was telling me "it's too good to be true", especially from this company. *I'm a software dev., and my server colleagues have a saying "nobody was ever fired by buying Intel". In simracing, You can't go wrong with Heusinkveld.

my take away from the video: Did he just say 46/11 are " super large feet" ??? Im over here with my size 15s bout to chop off my toes now. 😅

Simagic P2000 for the win ❤️

I don't even own these and I feel scammed by the marketing of these pedals

There is no other pedal choice after the Simucube force feedback pedals.The same was with DD wheels. There is no way back. You will see after the release:)

The brake works like the clutch and throttle of heusinkveld pedals haha

Stick a keyboard wrist rest where your heel goes mate, £10 and no more sore feet.

Is that a $0.50 bathroom scale load cell that only measures travel on a $499 pedal set? Why not just use a proper 100kg+ load cell to measure the pedal force? Mechanically that would be simpler and might be cheaper to manufacture...

Definitely pedals to be worn with shoes.

Why is compressing 1, 2 or 3 elastomers on a loadcell more accurate than a spring? Both provide resistance and feel between your foot and the loadcell. Both make the actual pedal move so by that logic elastomers and spring makes the pedal behave like a potentiometer. The only way to get away from that is a 100% hard pedal, and no one wants that. I completely fail to follow Suzuki's reasoning here as elastomers do the EXACT same thing.
