The SIMGASM Pro is the stiffest and most adjustable cockpit in the SIMGASM range. Its big pros are the 40 x 160 mm main profile, steel reinforcement, a pedal deck rated for 300 kg and a motion ready frame for wheelbases above 40 Nm. Its main cons are simple: it is more rig than many drivers need, and the seat is sold separately.
So the Pro is a great buy for heavy hardware and long term upgrades. Below you find every pro and con in plain words, so you know if it fits you.
What is the SIMGASM Pro exactly?
Before the list, here is a quick look at the facts behind the Pro.
The Pro is the flagship of four SIMGASM cockpit tiers: Hobby, Club, Sport and Pro. It measures 580 x 1320 x 750 mm (W x L x H) and uses the deepest profile in the range. Its product code starts with C160, the name you also see in the video above. It comes with profiles, brackets, the wheel mount of your choice, tools, the Apex side profile shifter and handbrake arm, a heel rest and rubber feet.

The pros of the SIMGASM Pro
These are the strengths that make the Pro stand out in 2026.
Stiffness for the strongest hardware
The 40 x 160 mm profile and steel reinforcement at critical mounting points give the Pro the most structural reserve in the range. SIMGASM recommends it for wheelbases above 40 Nm. One buyer described the pedal deck as really sturdy with zero flex. Another switched from a Trak Racer rig and wrote that adjusting the Pro took only seconds.
Ready for motion, hydraulics and clean cables
The Pro is motion ready by design, and the pedal deck carries a rated braking load of 300 kg. Integrated cable passthroughs keep USB and power cables out of sight. So the frame keeps up when you add hydraulic pedals, actuators or bass shakers later.
Wide wheelbase support
You pick from four wheel mounts. Bottom Mount covers Logitech, Fanatec, MOZA, Thrustmaster, SIMAGIC, PXN, Simucube, Asetek, VRS, Conspit and Sim Lab patterns. Side Mount covers Fanatec, MOZA, SIMAGIC, Conspit and Sim Lab, and there is a dedicated Asetek Front Mount. Our list of wheelbases and pedals that need a SIMGASM Pro shows where the Pro truly pays off.
Colours and liveries with personality
The Pro comes in Black, White, Orange, Green, Blue, Red, Gold, Purple and Silver, plus liveries such as JPS, MARINI, RothBros and Aichi. Founder Johan Akkerman started SIMGASM because very few brands made individual colours and race liveries accessible at a realistic price. One owner summed it up well: finally an aluminium profile rig that does not look industrial.

The cons of the SIMGASM Pro
No cockpit is perfect for everyone, and the Pro has clear limits too.
More rig than many drivers need
With a belt driven wheel or a mid range direct drive base, you rarely use the full reserve of the Pro. The Sport, with its 40 x 120 mm profile, carries the same 300 kg rated braking load and the same cable routing and motion readiness. Read SIMGASM Sport or Pro if you doubt between the two.
Seat and slider sold separately
The seat, seat slider, wheelbase, pedals and monitor stand are not included. That gives you freedom, but your budget needs to cover them. See our guide on which SIMGASM seat suits the Pro cockpit to plan that part.
Size and mount choice need some planning
The Pro stands 750 mm tall, 30 mm taller than the Sport, with the same 580 x 1320 mm footprint. Measure your room first; our guide on how much space you need for a sim racing cockpit helps. Also check your wheel mount carefully: the regular Front Mount fits Simucube, VRS and Sim Lab, but no SIMAGIC wheelbase.

Who should buy the Pro in 2026?
The answer depends on your hardware today and your plans for the next few years.
Buy the Pro if you run or plan a wheelbase above 40 Nm, hydraulic or very stiff load cell pedals, motion, or a combined racing and flight setup. Pick the Sport or Club when your hardware stays in the mid range. Either way, you buy from a Dutch company, SIMGASM B.V., based in Wijk bij Duurstede, with a 2 year warranty and 30 day risk free returns. Founder Johan Akkerman, a 2019 Project CARS 2 world team champion, helped develop the TRX chassis at Trak Racer, and every SIMGASM product is tested as part of a complete simulator.
