PXN introduces two new Direct Drive racing bundles

If you're into racing, then you know that a good force feedback wheel can make all the difference in the world. Recently PXN announced two new entries into their race wheel bundles - the PXN V10 Ultra and the PXN V10 Pro. Both are Direct Drive (meaning the wheel and the motor are directly connected without the need for a gear or belts to provide the torque, providing the best possible haptic response), and both are set up as a bundle with the steering wheel and pedal set, giving you everything you need for a next-level experience. Let's get a bit of info on these wheels from the team directly.

By lowering the entry barrier to direct drive technology, the V10 lineup gives aspiring racers the chance to develop their skills and enjoy high-grade immersion without the complexity or investment of higher-end systems. Whether used as a first racing setup or as a stepping stone toward the more professional-racing set ups, the V10 Ultra and V10 Pro ensure that more players can begin to experience the feedback, control, and excitement that define PXN’s latest sim-racing ecosystem.

Both of these wheels are remarkably affordable, delivering solid specs for the price. Let's dig into the V10 Pro first and take a look at the intro video as well as the specs:

V10 Pro Specs:

V10 Pro – Expanded Control for Greater Realism

• Building on the Ultra, the V10 Pro includes a three-pedal set with clutch for racers who demand more control and immersion.
• Pedals: PD HP Pedals (Brake + Throttle + Clutch; ABS material)
• Motor & Resolution: Servo Direct Drive Motor, 3.2Nm torque, 15-bit precision
• Wheel & Controls: 270mm PU leather-wrapped D-shaped wheel, 17 programmable buttons, aluminum paddle shifters
• Software: PXN SimRacing + PXN Nexus for parameter adjustment
• Availability & Pricing: Determined and sold by PXN regional distributors

3.2 Nm of torque is a solid amount for an entry level wheel, and the wheel certainly looks the part. Let's take a closer look at the Ultra for comparison.

V10 Ultra Specs:

V10 Ultra – The Essential Direct Drive Starter Kit

• The V10 Ultra offers everything needed to take the first step into the world of direct drive racing.
• Pedals: PD HM Brake & Throttle (Metal, Hall Effect sensors)
• Motor: Servo Direct Drive Motor with 3.2Nm peak torque
• Steering: 270mm PU leather-wrapped D-shaped wheel, 17 programmable buttons
• Shifters: Dual aluminum alloy paddle shifters
• Resolution: 15-bit steering input for accurate control
• Software: PXN SimRacing (PC) + PXN Nexus (Mobile) for customizable tuning
• Price: $259.99 USD / €289.99 EUR / £269.99 GBP

The Ultra looks like it's an excellent blend of high-end specs, with Hall Effect (that means no direct contact of the parts - they use magnets to signal instead), as well as metal components and shifters.

Both of these wheels have some common elements that are worth noting as well:

Core Features Across Both:

• Direct Drive Performance: 3.2Nm, detailed force feedback effects that replicate curbs, tire slip, and collisions
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works with PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series consoles, and PlayStation
• Customizable Experience: Dual-platform software lets players fine-tune FFB, pedal sensitivity, and button mapping, with one-click pro presets
• Compact Design: Space-efficient for desks, rigs, and tight setups
• Durability and Comfort: Aluminum alloy paddle shifters, PU leather wheel, aerospace-grade slip ring power delivery, and smart thermal management
• A Complete Ecosystem from Entry to Elite

It's great to see a wheel that can work on both flavors of consoles as well as PC. It's frustrating to have to have multiple wheels to accomplish the same task. Both of these wheels are available right now, with the V10 Pro will be for folks outside of the US and Europe, available at whatever geek shop you use, and the V10 Ultra is available at this link, or at the official PXN site right here.
