"Have Invicta pedals & base can’t recommend high enough. Been using heavily for over a year now with zero issues and thousands of smiles"
- Hansel (April 5, 2024)
"I bought the Asetek Invicta Pedals + the elastomer kit. It has been just excellent. I'm using quite soft elastomers, but if you like really hard feeling that can be also easily achieved"
- Tuukka (April 8, 2024)
"Awesome customer service and 5 star products when you touch Asetek you feel quality. First day for me was to hard braking but after practice i love it:) best brake for trailbraking"

Your control over the car relies on precise pedal inputs. Mastering these inputs demands a brake pedal that maintains consistency over time, ensuring that your muscle memory engages with the same pedal hardness every time you get into the driver’s seat.
And this is exactly why our pedal brakes are intentionally hard with a short travel distance as default. This approach enhances the use of muscle memory which is fundamental for delivering consistent performances and get around the track faster than ever.
Having a hard brake pedal will allow your muscle memory to be trained to perfection. Muscle memory is the subconscious telling your muscles just the right amount of pressure, leaving your conscious mind to take care of more important things at that moment – like watching traffic or hitting apex. Your muscle memory system is not wired to remember a position. Try to lift your hand with your eyes closed and reach the same spot within 0,5 mm 10 times in a row, and you will get the point.
On the flip side, your muscle memory can memorize a pressure extremely accurately, meaning going around a track, your muscle memory can make you brake the same way again and again.
This cannot be achieved with a soft pedal – especially when trail braking.
Furthermore, a hard brake pedal will allow you to brake later. Imagine having a brake pedal with 50 mm (common for many sim racers) of travel versus a brake pedal with almost zero travel.
You are going 300 km/h down a straight. With the long travel brake, it will physically take you perhaps 1/10 of a second more to reach full braking power. On the stiff brake pedal, you will reach maximum braking power instantly.
If you have three hard braking zones on a track, you will gain 3/10 of a second each lap by using a hard brake with minimal travel.
The T.H.O.R.P. (Twin Hydraulic Opposing Rapid Pistons) System is Asetek SimSports’ hydraulic brake cylinder which gives you the ultimate experience of driving a real racecar. The brake cylinder features an automotive grade pressure sensor, which makes it the closest you will come to an authentic brake experience in sim racing. The functionality of the T.H.O.R.P. System is based on two stages – the soft stage and the hard stage – just like in a real race car.
Real race car:
When you apply pressure on the pedal, it will move 10-20 mm (measured on the pedal plate), while you build up pressure, while the caliper pistons are traveling to and pushing the brake pads against the brake disc, and to compensate for the small amount of play in all the mechanical parts on the pedal system that is required for them not to seize up.
T.H.O.R.P. System:
Since we do not have a brake disc, caliper and brake pads in a simulator, we made the slave cylinder to mimic this. The slave cylinder is compressing an elastomer, and like in a real race car, it will allow a pedal travel of maximum 20-25 mm measured on the pedal plate.
When full pedal travel is obtained, the slave cylinder will hit a mechanical stop, just like in a real race as described above. We supply different elastomers to mimic different feelings of the “soft stage”, but the different elastomers will not change the pedal travel, only how much force that is needed to fully depress the pedal and engage the hard stage.
When hydraulic pressure is built up, the brake pads are squeezing the discs hard and all mechanical play is compensated. In this stage, your foot is basically pressing against a wall, because now your muscles are pressing directly against the hydraulic forces (the brake fluid). Since the fluid cannot be compressed, you will feel the pedal is hard.
When a racecar driver complains about a “long” or a “soft” pedal, it is typically because there is air in the system, and since air CAN be compressed, the pedal will feel soft and long. The mechanics then bleed the brakes for air, meaning there is only fluid left in the system, and the pedal is once again hard after passing the “soft stage”.
When the slave system is mechanically locked, you have 100% the same feeling as in a racecar, when the brake pads are fully pressed against the brake disc, and your muscles are pressing directly against the hydraulic forces.
This is NOT simulated, this is the same and identical feeling as in a racecar, and you can keep pressing the pedal up to a hydraulic pressure of 100 bar, which corresponds to 185 kg of pressure on the pedal plate – the same as a real F1 car!
RaceHub is our central software for calibrating and adjusting Asetek SimSports products to suit your exact needs.
Tailoring your hardware settings is crucial for achieving consistency in every performance, and that’s why RaceHub comes with an extensive list of features to help you achieve your goals in the simulator.
Effortlessly calibrate and adjust your throttle, brake, and clutch within seconds. All calibrations and adjustments are automatically saved in our EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), saving you time for future races.
The Invicta Pedals aren’t for everyone. If you’re new to sim racing, it might be better to start your journey with the La Prima Pedals or Forte Pedals.
Once you’re ready to take the next step, you can easily upgrade your pedals with one of our upgrade kits.
