Conspit ARES 12 CDR Direct Drive Wheelbase – 12Nm (Black)

Precision Direct Drive performance with 23-bit resolution and CDR Quick Release

The Conspit ARES 12 CDR is a high-performance 12 Nm direct drive wheelbase built for sim racers who demand strong, detailed force feedback and ultra-precise steering control. Featuring a 23-bit optical encoder, advanced motor design, and the Conspit CDR Quick Release, this wheelbase delivers smooth, realistic feedback with fast response—ideal for competitive racing in GT, Formula, and endurance disciplines.

With support for Conspit Link 2.0 software, the ARES 12 CDR offers deep tuning options and access to official pro setups, making it a powerful and future-ready choice for serious sim racing rigs.

Ultra-Precise Steering With 23-Bit Optical Encoder

At the heart of the ARES 12 CDR is a 23-bit optical encoder, delivering extremely fine steering resolution for maximum accuracy. Every input is tracked with high precision, ensuring smooth micro-corrections, stable cornering, and consistent performance under pressure.

To further improve steering feel, the wheelbase uses a skew-pole motor design, reducing cogging torque for cleaner, more natural force feedback.

12 Nm Direct Drive Torque – Strong, Fast & Realistic

With 12 Nm of torque, the ARES 12 CDR provides a powerful and detailed driving experience without unnecessary harshness. The fast response rate translates track detail, kerbs, weight transfer, and traction loss into clear feedback—helping you drive more consistently and confidently.

Perfect for sim racers upgrading from entry-level systems or looking for a compact yet serious direct drive platform.

CDR Quick Release – Tool-Free Wheel Swaps in Seconds

The integrated CDR Quick Release system allows fast steering wheel changes without tools, making it ideal for drivers running multiple wheel rims for different racing categories. Swap between GT and Formula setups quickly while maintaining a solid, stable connection.

Optimized Cooling & Stable Performance

The ARES 12 CDR features an efficient cooling design with intelligent temperature monitoring to protect internal electronics and maintain consistent performance. Even in long endurance sessions, the wheelbase delivers stable torque output with quiet operation and excellent reliability.

Conspit Link 2.0 Software Support

Using Conspit Link 2.0, you can fine-tune your complete force feedback experience:

• Adjust FFB strength and response

• Create and save multiple profiles
