Heusinkveld – Professional Dutch Sim Racing Equipment

Heusinkveld is a Dutch manufacturer of premium sim racing hardware, best known for its advanced Load Cell pedals, sequential shifters and handbrakes. The company was founded by sim racing enthusiasts and focuses on developing equipment that combines mechanical precision, durability and extensive adjustment options.

The Heusinkveld range at Simline.eu includes Sprint and Ultimate+ pedals, the ONE steering wheel, MagShift shifters, a Load Cell handbrake and accessories for mounting, upgrading and maintaining existing hardware. Heusinkveld products use stainless steel construction, precise force sensors and the manufacturer's SmartControl configuration software.

The equipment is suitable for advanced home racing cockpits, competitive sim racing and professional training simulators. Individual components can be combined with compatible hardware from other manufacturers, allowing drivers to upgrade their setups without replacing every part of the system.

Heusinkveld Sprint – Load Cell Pedals for Consistent Braking

The Heusinkveld Sprint is one of the most recognisable premium pedal systems in sim racing. It was developed for drivers seeking precise braking, mechanical adjustability and a durable construction suitable for frequent competitive use.

The brake features a 120 kg Load Cell sensor and supports up to 65 kg of actual force at the pedal plate. Rather than measuring pedal position alone, the system responds to the pressure applied by the driver. This helps develop muscle memory and makes it easier to repeat the same braking points throughout a race.

Sprint pedals offer adjustment of pedal position, angle, travel and resistance. Progressive elastomers allow the brake feel to be customised, while SmartControl software provides configurable response curves and maximum braking force settings.

The Sprint range is available as a two-pedal set, three-pedal set or standalone clutch pedal. It is suitable for GT, Formula, rally and endurance racing, particularly when installed on a rigid sim racing cockpit.

Heusinkveld Ultimate+ – Flagship Pedals for Demanding Sim Racers

For drivers who require higher braking forces and more extensive adjustment, the Heusinkveld Ultimate+ offers the manufacturer's flagship pedal technology.

The Ultimate+ brake uses a 200 kg Load Cell sensor and can support up to 140 kg of force at the pedal plate. Progressive elastomers and hydraulic damping provide a broad range of braking characteristics, allowing drivers to recreate a firm and progressive response inspired by professional racing cars.

Hydraulic damping affects the movement of the pedal, while the mechanical adjustments allow the driver to modify travel, resistance and pedal positioning. The brake can be configured with a very firm response, which can be useful for drivers accustomed to high-force racing brake systems.

Ultimate+ pedals are available in two-pedal and three-pedal configurations, as well as with a separate clutch. Due to the substantial braking forces involved, installation on a very rigid cockpit is essential.

This makes Ultimate+ particularly suitable for demanding GT3, prototype and Formula racing setups, competitive esports drivers and professional simulator installations.

Heusinkveld Sprint and Ultimate+ Base Plates

Stable mounting is essential when using high-performance Load Cell pedals. Even the most advanced braking system cannot deliver consistent feedback if the cockpit's pedal platform moves or flexes under pressure.

The Heusinkveld Sprint Base Plate provides a stable mounting surface for Sprint pedals. It offers heel support, helps organise the pedal positions and transfers braking forces into the cockpit structure.

For the flagship pedal series, the Heusinkveld Ultimate+ Base Plate is designed to withstand the substantially higher forces generated by the Ultimate+ brake, supporting up to 140 kg of pedal force.

Both base plates are useful when installing individual pedal modules on aluminium-profile cockpits. Before ordering, check the mounting hole pattern and available space on the pedal deck.

Heusinkveld Elastomer Kits and Pedal Upgrades

One of the advantages of Heusinkveld pedals is the ability to replace components responsible for the braking feel. This allows users to refresh heavily used equipment or change pedal resistance without purchasing a completely new pedal set.

The Heusinkveld Elastomer Kit Sprint contains replacement elastomers for compatible Sprint brake pedals. The thermoset construction provides consistent performance and allows the braking response to be adjusted according to the driver's preferences.

For the higher-end range, the Heusinkveld Elastomer Kit Ultimate+ provides replacement brake elastomers for Ultimate+ pedals and compatible upgraded older models.

Owners of classic Sim Pedals Ultimate can also consider the Heusinkveld Ultimate+ Upgrade Kit. This package introduces improvements to electronics, mechanical components and compatibility with SmartControl and SmartControl Live software.

Before purchasing replacement or upgrade components, verify the exact pedal generation, as compatibility may differ between models.

Heusinkveld Rest Pedal and Sprint Pedal Plates

In addition to complete pedal systems, Heusinkveld develops accessories designed to improve cockpit ergonomics. Proper foot positioning is particularly important during long racing sessions, when drivers repeatedly move between throttle, brake and clutch inputs.

The Heusinkveld Rest Pedal is an adjustable stainless-steel footrest that provides a stable position for the left foot when the brake or clutch is not being used. Height and angle adjustments make it possible to align the footrest with the surrounding pedals.

The Heusinkveld Sprint Pedal Plates, available in the Team Redline Edition, feature curved contact surfaces designed for compatible Sprint pedals. They can change how the driver's foot interacts with the pedal while also providing a different visual finish.

Heusinkveld MagShift – Professional Sequential Shifter

The Heusinkveld range also includes dedicated gear-shifting controls. The Heusinkveld MagShift is a sequential shifter inspired by the mechanical operation of real racing transmissions.

The device uses an adjustable magnetic mechanism and opto-electronic sensors to detect gear changes. This provides a clear shifting resistance and a defined breakaway point with every movement of the lever.

Drivers can adjust the resistance to achieve a relatively light action for fast circuit racing or a stronger mechanical feel inspired by racing dog-box transmissions. MagShift is suitable for rally cars, touring cars, GT racing and classic racing vehicles.

It is designed for users who value repeatable shifting, mechanical feedback and extensive adjustment options during competitive sim racing.

Heusinkveld MagShift Mini – Compact Sequential Shifting

The Heusinkveld MagShift Mini brings the same magnetic shifting concept into a smaller housing. It is designed for drivers who have limited mounting space but still want a precise and adjustable sequential gear lever.

The magnetic mechanism allows independent adjustment of upshift and downshift resistance. Its compact construction makes the Mini suitable for both aluminium-profile cockpits and desktop installations.

Three dedicated mounting accessories are available. The MagShift Mini Vertical Mount provides a vertical installation option, while the MagShift Mini Angled Mount allows the lever to be positioned at an angle.

For desktop setups, the MagShift Mini Table Clamp offers a dedicated solution for securely attaching the shifter to a desk without requiring a full racing cockpit.

Heusinkveld Handbrake – Load Cell Control for Rally and Drifting

In rally and drifting simulators, a handbrake plays an important role when initiating slides and navigating tight corners. The Heusinkveld Handbrake uses Load Cell technology to measure the force applied to the lever rather than relying only on its position.

Its adjustable mechanism allows drivers to customise travel and resistance, while SmartControl software provides additional options for modifying the output curve delivered to the simulator.

The result is a pressure-sensitive handbrake suitable for drivers seeking repeatable operation in rally, drifting and other disciplines where controlled rear-wheel locking is important.

Heusinkveld ONE – Steering Wheel for Different Direct Drive Bases

Heusinkveld has expanded its product range with a complete steering wheel. The Heusinkveld ONE is the manufacturer's first steering wheel, developed for compatibility with Direct Drive wheelbases from different brands.

The wheel features a 300 mm open-style design suitable for GT cars, racing prototypes and Formula-style vehicles. Its controls include magnetic paddle shifters, a dual-clutch system, programmable buttons and RGB telemetry indicators.

Wireless communication is handled through a dedicated USB receiver, allowing the steering wheel electronics to operate independently of the wheelbase's proprietary communication system.

For additional mounting flexibility, the Heusinkveld Steering Wheel Adapter connects common 50.8 mm and 70 mm bolt patterns, helping drivers install the steering wheel on compatible Quick Release systems.

SmartControl and SmartControl Live Software

Software configuration is an important part of the Heusinkveld ecosystem. SmartControl allows users to calibrate compatible pedals, adjust dead zones, define the maximum braking force and create custom throttle, brake and clutch response curves.

Different profiles can be created for GT3 cars, Formula vehicles, racing prototypes and classic race cars. Each profile can use a different pedal response to match the driver's preferences and the characteristics of the selected vehicle.

SmartControl Live adds the ability to switch profiles and modify selected settings while using the simulator. The software also supports compatible Heusinkveld shifters and handbrakes.

Manuals, drivers and current software versions are available in the Heusinkveld Downloads section of the manufacturer's website.

Heusinkveld Compatibility with Racing Simulators

Heusinkveld products are primarily designed for PC-based racing simulators. Pedals, shifters and handbrakes can operate independently of the steering wheelbase, making it possible to combine them with equipment from other manufacturers.

The hardware is suitable for popular racing simulators such as iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Le Mans Ultimate, rFactor 2 and Automobilista 2, provided the game supports the required control inputs.

Before purchasing, always check software compatibility, connection requirements and mechanical installation. The Ultimate+ pedals in particular require a rigid platform capable of supporting high braking forces.
