The SIMGASM Club fits almost every popular wheelbase of 2026, from belt driven Logitech and Thrustmaster wheels up to direct drive bases of 26 Nm. SIMGASM advises the Club for wheelbases up to and including 26 Nm, and the frame takes Logitech, Fanatec, MOZA, Thrustmaster, Simagic, PXN, Simucube, Asetek, VRS, Conspit and Sim Lab through four wheel mount options.
So the real question is not only "does it fit?" but also "which mount do I pick?". This guide explains the torque limit, the mounts and the bases that suit the SIMGASM Club cockpit best.
How much torque can the SIMGASM Club handle?
Torque is the first thing to check, because a strong base pushes and twists the wheel deck on every corner.
The 26 Nm guidance
The Club uses a 40 × 80 mm main profile. That is twice as deep as the 40 × 40 mm profile of the Hobby. A deeper profile bends far less, so the wheel deck stays still when a direct drive base kicks back. Under the cockpit selection guidance of SIMGASM, the Club suits wheelbases up to and including 26 Nm. Above 26 Nm, SIMGASM points you to the Sport or the Pro, and above 40 Nm only the Pro.
What that means for you
Put simply, 26 Nm covers almost every base that sim racers buy in 2026. Popular bases such as the MOZA R5 up to the R21 and the Fanatec CSL DD up to the Podium DD1 all stay below that mark. The extra reserve means the frame is not the weak link when you upgrade later. One Club owner wrote in a product review that the rig felt solid and stable with a Simagic Alpha EVO, with no noticeable flex or creaking.

Which wheel mount should you choose?
The Club ships with the wheel mount you select at checkout, so this choice matters before you order.
Bottom Mount
The Bottom Mount is the most universal option. It bolts to the underside of the base and covers supported patterns from Logitech, Fanatec, MOZA, Thrustmaster, Simagic, PXN, Simucube, Asetek, VRS, Conspit and Sim Lab. Choose it when you are unsure or when you expect to switch brands later.
Front Mount and Side Mount
The regular Front Mount holds supported Simucube, VRS and Sim Lab bases by their front face. It does not fit any Simagic wheelbase. The Side Mount clamps supported Fanatec, MOZA, Simagic, Conspit and Sim Lab models from both sides, which feels very stiff with heavier bases. Want the details per mount? Read our guide on bottom, front or side mount for your wheel base.
Asetek Front Mount
Asetek bases get a dedicated Asetek Front Mount. It matches the supported Asetek models, so you avoid adapter plates. Always check the live model selector on the product page before you order, because compatibility is model specific.
Popular 2026 wheelbases on a Club
Here is how common bases compare with the 26 Nm guidance, based on the torque each maker publishes.
Entry and mid range bases
The MOZA R5, R9 and R12, the Fanatec CSL DD and ClubSport DD, the Logitech RS50 and G Pro, the Thrustmaster T598 and the Simagic Alpha EVO range all sit well below 26 Nm. On a Club, these bases feel planted with plenty of reserve. If you start with a MOZA R5, our guide to the best cockpit for a MOZA R5 shows why a stiffer frame still pays off.
High torque bases
The MOZA R21, the Fanatec Podium DD2, the MOZA R25 Ultra and the Simucube 2 Pro deliver between 21 and 25 Nm. They still fall inside the Club guidance. Bases such as the Asetek Invicta at 27 Nm or the Simucube 2 Ultimate at 32 Nm go above it, so pick the Sport sim racing cockpits for those.

Why does torque matter more than the logo?
Many buyers only check the brand, but the frame reacts to force, not to a logo.
Flex steals detail
When a frame flexes, part of the force feedback goes into the aluminium instead of your hands. You lose the small details, such as a rear tyre that starts to slide. A stiff deck keeps those signals sharp. SIMGASM founder Johan Akkerman knows this from his own setups, which grew from Fanatec hardware and a Trak Racer TR8 to a Simucube 2 wheelbase. He is responsible for the product concept behind the Club.
Room to grow
Many racers start at 8 or 12 Nm and move up within a year or two. The Club gives you that headroom in a compact footprint of 500 × 1350 × 620 mm. Not sure if you need more? Compare both in SIMGASM Club or Sport.
How do you check your own wheelbase?
Three quick checks give you a clear answer in a few minutes.
Three steps
First, look up the peak torque of your base on the website of the maker. Second, find your exact model in the compatibility selector on the Club product page and note the mount it lists. Third, think about your next upgrade, not only your current base. Is your model missing? Fabien Lacaule supports SIMGASM with compatibility, and the team replies within one business day by email or WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions
These are the questions we hear most about wheelbases on the Club.
Does a Simagic base fit the Front Mount?
No. The regular Front Mount does not fit any Simagic wheelbase. Choose the Bottom Mount or the Side Mount for Simagic.
Can I use a belt driven wheel on the Club?
Yes. Belt and gear driven wheels from Logitech and Thrustmaster fit through the Bottom Mount. The Club then gives you room to move to direct drive later.
Is 26 Nm a hard limit?
It is the selection guidance of SIMGASM. Above 26 Nm, the Sport or Pro gives the frame more reserve.
Is the wheelbase included?
No. The Club includes the frame, the selected wheel mount, hardware, tools and the side profile arm. The wheelbase, wheel, pedals and seat are sold separately.
