Thermaltake unveils its G6 Direct Drive Racing Wheel Bundle

Thermaltake’s new G6 bundle gives everything that sim racing fans need for an authentic and immersive racing experience. The kit’s direct drive motor gives users realistic feedback, emulating real-world driving sensations with its 6Nm of torque and durable aluminium wheelbase.

The kit also features a customisable three-pedal set. Note that all three pedals are made of steel for durability and can be altered to suit any users’ needs.

Key Features:

• Direct Drive Servo Motor: Offers precise control and realistic driving sensations with 6Nm torque and a durable aluminium wheelbase.
• High-Strength Adjustable Pedals: Includes a customizable steel three-pedal set (brake, throttle, clutch.) Features secure mounting options for stability and smooth input.
• Racing-Grade Quick Release System: Enables fast disassembly and ensures durable control with a 13-inch steering wheel and dual-clutch paddles.
• Dual Motor Cooling: Integrated temperature sensor and low-noise fan perform smoothly during extended races.

Thermaltake plans to release this new G6 bundle in April 2025 for $519.99. This bundle combines enthusiast components and aims to give gamers a strong simulation experience. Sadly, we do not know Thermaltake’s planned UK or European pricing for this racing bundle.

Thermaltake transforms their sim experiences with their GM5 3DOF Motion System

Motion systems define the highest-end racing setups. By replicating the real movements of vehicles, simulation experiences are elevated to the next level. There’s a big difference between racing on a static chair and racing in a cockpit that moves and reacts to what you are simulating. Note that this motion system is paired with Thermaltake’s GR500 cockpit in our images below.

With SimTools integration, this motion system is compatible with the latest games and will be updated to support more experiences as they arrive. This system will react quickly to your system thanks to its 1,000 Hz control frequency and reaction latencies of less than 5ms. This is a high-end piece of kit for high-end sim experiences.

Key Features:

• Lightweight Design: Weighs just 27 kg, making installation seamless while maintaining structural durability.
• Precise Dynamic Control: Achieves rapid and accurate responses with a control frequency of up to 1000 Hz and a low latency of <5 ms, ensuring real-time operation.
• Stable Vibration Frequency: Supports a range of 0-100 Hz, delivering realistic feedback for various road and flight conditions.
• Versatile Compatibility: Works seamlessly with the Thermaltake GR500 Racing Simulator Cockpit and GF500 Flight Simulator Cockpit.
• SimTools Integration: Utilizes advanced SimTools software, offering a wide range of adjustable parameters and continuous updates to support the latest games.

Thermaltake’s GM5 3DOF Motion system will be available in March 2025 with an MSRP of $3,999.99. This system is compatible with Thermaltake’s GR500 racing cockpit.
