SIMAGIC Alpha EVO Pro 18 Nm – More steering-force capacity for a committed racing cockpit.
Choose the SIMAGIC Alpha EVO Pro 18 Nm Direct Drive Wheel Base when you want a higher-torque EVO model for a firmly mounted PC simulator. It combines 18 Nm maximum output with SIMAGIC's low-inertia motor platform, adjustable feedback and active cooling. The Pro is an option for drivers who want more available force than the 9 Nm and 12 Nm versions while retaining a broad choice of compatible steering wheels and controls.
Why choose this product?
-
18 Nm maximum torque: greater output capacity than the EVO Sport and 12 Nm EVO.
-
Low-inertia servo design: a motor platform built around responsive steering.
-
Fine position measurement: a 21-bit encoder tracks shaft position.
-
Active thermal management: cooling supports prolonged driving.
-
Configurable feedback: tune the base with SimPro Manager to suit your car and preferences.
Product details
18 Nm as capacity, rather than a compulsory setting
The Pro offers additional output for drivers planning a dedicated cockpit. You can use a comfortable strength below the maximum while preserving room in your overall setup for stronger feedback events. The way that reserve is used depends on both wheelbase output and game gain. More available torque does not automatically produce faster laps or a better profile; it gives you greater freedom to configure the feel.
Keep fast changes readable
SIMAGIC's ultra-low-inertia motor and Zero-Cogging control are intended to provide smooth, responsive force delivery. DFDF filtering adds another layer of adjustment to that response. When tuning the Pro, compare a quick direction change with a longer loaded corner. Aim for a setting where both remain clear without introducing unnecessary damping or excessive vibration.
Choose your preferred weight at the wheel
A larger rim changes the leverage at your hands, while a different wheel's mass can also influence the response you perceive. Think about the complete assembly when selecting strength, particularly if you switch between a GT wheel and a round rally rim. Establish a suitable starting profile for each combination instead of assuming the same settings will feel identical.
Prepare the mounting before increasing force
The Pro measures 317 × 130 × 110 mm and has a manufacturer net weight of 8.627 kg. Account for its length, cable access and the steering-wheel position when planning the cockpit. A well-supported wheel deck or suitable profile mounting arrangement is important for consistent use. Check the bolt pattern, mounting accessory and clearance before final assembly.
Profiles for serious practice and longer sessions
Use a repeatable setup routine: update the supported software, confirm steering calibration, select a baseline and test familiar corners. Change one parameter at a time and keep notes on what improves clarity or comfort. During longer sessions, consider reducing the output if steering effort becomes distracting. The aim is to keep the car's behaviour readable throughout the stint.
Compatibility and setup
Build around a compatible SIMAGIC steering wheel and quick release, or use the optional QR-A arrangement for a supported third-party USB wheel. Confirm mechanical attachment, wheel power and button or display communication separately.
Download the current SIMAGIC SimPro Manager software and follow the model's installation guide. Check firmware, steering calibration and game controls before your first drive. SIMAGIC advertises native 360 Hz iRacing force-feedback support; using it depends on the relevant software, firmware and simulator configuration.
Use bottom mounting or the appropriate optional side, front or desk fixture. Front bracket installation can block magnetic connectivity, so plan the mounting around any magnetic accessories you intend to fit.

Frequently asked questions
Is the EVO Pro the most powerful Alpha EVO model?
No. The Pro is rated at 18 Nm; the Alpha EVO Ultra adds a higher-output 28 Nm option. Choose according to the complete cockpit and the force range you want.
Can I use the Pro below 18 Nm?
Yes. Adjust the output to your preferred level rather than treating the maximum rating as a required driving setting.
What should I check when upgrading from a smaller base?
Check the Pro's dimensions, mounting pattern, support of the cockpit and the connection requirements of your steering wheel. Revisit both wheelbase and game feedback settings after installation.
Is a steering wheel included?
This listing is for the wheelbase. Choose a compatible steering wheel separately, or check a specifically listed wheelbase-and-wheel bundle.
Can I use this wheelbase with a console?
This description covers the supported PC setup. Do not assume native PlayStation or Xbox operation; any converter arrangement requires separate checks for the exact devices, software and console.
