Conspit Build Your Own Bundle – Ares CDR

Conspit Build Your Own Bundle – Ares CDR

The Conspit Build Your Own Bundle – Ares CDR lets you put together a complete Conspit setup in three choices: an Ares Direct Drive base (8, 12 or 20 Nm), a steering wheel from the Conspit range with the CDR quick release, and, if you want, CPP hydraulic pedals (Lite or EVO V2, 2 or 3 pedals). Everything comes from the same ecosystem: one software, Conspit Link 2.0, and pedals that can connect through the base. The bundle price is lower than buying each product separately.

Key features

• CDR quick release: NRG-style, automatic locking, wireless signal through pogo pins
• One ecosystem: base, wheel and pedals set up in Conspit Link 2.0, SimHub supported
• Pedals through the base: CPP pedals can connect to the Ares base over Conspit CAN
• Bundle price lower than the products bought separately
