Conspit Ares 12 Nm CDP
This is the Conspit Ares 12 in its CDP quick release version, the ball-lock system machined from 7075 aluminium used by the first Conspit wheels. Inside: a skew-pole direct drive motor developed for sim racing, a 23-bit optical encoder, asymmetric dual processors and a torque slew rate up to 9.5 Nm/ms, in a 5.6 kg aluminium housing. Choose this version if your wheels are already fitted with the CDP system.

FAQ
Is 12 Nm enough?
Yes, for the vast majority of drivers. The Conspit Ares 12 CDP delivers 12 Nm through the same 23-bit optical encoder and skew-pole motor as the Ares 20 Platinum. Force feedback quality depends as much on encoder resolution and motor smoothness as on raw torque, and most drivers use high-end bases well below their maximum.
Is the CSD Nano display included?
No. The Conspit CSD Nano is sold separately for the Ares 12 CDP. It clips magnetically onto the front interface of the base with pogo-pin contacts.
Is the quick release included?
The CDP base side is fitted on the Conspit Ares 12 CDP. The CDP wheel side is sold separately as the Conspit Quick Release CDP. No steering wheel is included.
What is the difference between the Ares 12 CDR and the Ares 12 CDP?
Both use the same 12 Nm motor and 23-bit encoder. The CDR version uses Conspit's newer quick release, compatible with NRG-style hubs, is more compact (243 mm) and includes the CSD Nano. The CDP version uses the ball-lock CDP quick release for wheels already fitted with it.
How does the Ares 12 compare with other 12 Nm bases?
The Conspit Ares 12 CDP sits in the same class as the Moza R12 (12 Nm). Its distinguishing points are a 23-bit optical encoder rather than a magnetic one and a torque slew rate up to 9.5 Nm/ms. It is PC only.
Which games work with the Ares 12?
The Conspit Ares 12 CDP works with PC sims that support force feedback wheels, including iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Assetto Corsa EVO, Le Mans Ultimate, rFactor 2, Automobilista 2, F1 and EA Sports WRC.
Does the Ares 12 work on PS5 or Xbox?
No. The Conspit Ares 12 CDP works on PC Windows only.
Who handles warranty and after-sales service?
The French Simracer handles after-sales service for the Conspit Ares 12 CDP, as for every brand it sells, with a contact based in France. You never deal with the manufacturer directly. The product carries the 2-year legal warranty, or the manufacturer warranty if longer.

A clear statement is enough: no prior authorization is required. You may use the model form (Annex I of our Terms of Sale), but you don’t have to. We will then send you the return address and practical shipping information.
Sending the product back
Send the product back within 14 days of your request. Return shipping costs are paid by you, unless the product is defective, non-conforming or was sent in error. We recommend tracked and insured shipping, preferably in the original packaging.
Bulky items (seats, chassis, cockpits): contact us to arrange transport. They should be returned disassembled and carefully repacked, with your own carrier or with ours on a quote you accept in advance (the cost is then deducted from the refund).
Condition of the product
You may handle the product as you would in a shop to check its nature, characteristics and proper functioning: the refund is then full. If it has been handled beyond that (signs of use, installation, scratches, damaged threads, missing accessories…), a reduction proportional to the depreciation observed may apply, generally 5% to 35% of the price. We tell you its amount and reasons in writing before the refund.
Refund
We refund the product and the outbound delivery at the standard rate (excluding express or premium surcharges) within 14 days of receiving your decision. We may wait until we have received the product or your proof of shipment, whichever comes first. The refund is made to your original payment method, free of charge. Store credit is only possible if you ask for it, and that choice does not change any reduction.
Non-returnable items
- Personalized or custom-made products
- Gift cards
- Unsealed products that cannot be returned for hygiene or health reasons
Sale and discounted items remain covered by the 14-day period.
Defective or damaged product
Email us at contact@thefrenchsimracer.com with the invoice, a description of the defect and photos. We will repair, replace, reduce the price or refund as provided by the legal guarantee, and return shipping is at our expense. Reporting a damaged parcel within 3 business days helps with the carrier claim, without reducing your rights.
Guarantees
All our products are covered by the 2-year legal guarantee of conformity from delivery and by the guarantee against hidden defects (2 years from discovery of the defect): see Article 8 of our Terms of Sale. If the manufacturer offers a longer commercial warranty, it comes on top of these legal guarantees and does not replace them.
