It keeps the series' core technology – a skew-pole direct drive motor developed specifically for sim racing, asymmetric dual processors and Conspit Link 2.0 – in a 196 mm deep, 5.9 kg aluminium housing. With 8 Nm of torque and a 21-bit magnetic encoder, it is a direct drive base for drivers moving up from belt or gear wheels, or looking for a compact, quiet base on a desk or a cockpit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Nm direct drive, enough for GT, Formula, rally and drift driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkew-pole motor designed by Conspit to reduce cogging torque, torque ripple and noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21-bit high-resolution magnetic encoder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsymmetric dual processors (170 MHz + 168 MHz) for stable force feedback calculation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCDR quick release on the base side, compatible with Conspit wheels and NRG-style standard hubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassive cooling through the one-piece aluminium housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrical and mechanical protections, safety mode for shared or family use, optional CES E-Stop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConspit Link 2.0: settings, monitoring and official presets created with professional drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque: 8 Nm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor: skew-pole direct drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncoder: 21-bit magnetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcessors: 170 MHz + 168 MHz, asymmetric dual-core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick release: Conspit CDR (wheel side sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply: 24 V, 6.25 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: 4 × M6 (bottom), 4 × M8 (sides)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 134 × 150 × 196 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5.9 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection: USB 3.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftware: Conspit Link 2.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConspit Ares Apex wheelbase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply and USB 3.0 cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo steering wheel included.

The Conspit Ares Apex delivers 8 Nm of constant torque, which covers GT, Formula, rally and drift. Many drivers run well below 8 Nm, especially on a desk.

The Conspit 310 Apex in CDR version comes with it. For a complete set, the Conspit Apex Bundle combines the base, the 310 Apex and the CPP Apex pedals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich wheels are compatible with the Conspit Ares Apex?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Conspit wheels fit through the CDR quick release.

Its strengths are a skew-pole motor designed to reduce cogging, a CDR quick release compatible with NRG-style hubs, and a compact 196 mm housing. It is PC only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I install the Ares Apex on a desk?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Conspit Ares Apex Desk Mount, sold separately, clamps the base to a desk. On a cockpit, the base fixes from the bottom (4 × M6) or the sides (4 × M8), or with the Conspit front mount or aluminium profile bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Ares Apex work on PS5 or Xbox?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Conspit Ares Apex works on PC Windows only, through USB and Conspit Link 2.0.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho handles warranty and after-sales service?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe French Simracer handles after-sales service for the Conspit Ares Apex, as for every brand it sells, with a contact based in France.
