CSL DD. The new standard.

FANATEC® Direct-Drive technology comes to the CSL Series. From subtle sidewall flex to powerful self-aligning torque, you’ll feel everything with a heightened sense of realism. Exceptionally crisp and dynamic force feedback sensations await.

DIRECT-DRIVE SUPERIORITY.

 

When the steering wheel is directly mounted to the motor shaft, there’s no belt or gear drive to dilute the force feedback effects. The clear choice of all professional drivers and enthusiast sim racers is now available to a broader audience.

PLUG AND PLAY.

Our strong relationship with game developers means the CSL DD has broad compatibility and consistent behaviour across many popular titles. The Standard Tuning Menu has been simplified, allowing beginners to start quickly without having to worry about settings. The Advanced Tuning Menu remains for enthusiasts.

 

INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE.

The efficiency of the CSL DD motor technology means dynamic force-feedback performance is contained in a small footprint. This is also the first industrial motor to feature a carbon fibre composite motor shaft, which increases responsiveness and acceleration significantly due to low rotational masses.

Torque to the hands.

The 100% custom motor was developed in Germany specifically for sim racing. It delivers sensational performance thanks to patented FluxCompensator™ technology, communicating the nuances of force feedback detail to your hands with remarkable clarity.

UP TO 8 NM OF TORQUE.

 

Standard peak torque is 5 Nm, with the Boost Kit 180 (optional) unlocking the full 8 Nm. This high level of torque can be sustained without the need for active cooling, with the extruded and CNC-machined aluminium casing acting as the structural chassis as well as the heatsink.

 

 

 

AUTOMOTIVE-GRADE QUICK RELEASE SYSTEM.

 

The all-aluminium construction and anodised surface ensures strength and durability, providing a robust connection to Fanatec Steering Wheels.

READY FOR THE FUTURE.

 

Connected internally to the wheel base via USB-C, the quick release can be upgraded easily to the next-generation QR2 system (coming soon). Existing Fanatec wheels with an exchangeable Quick Release can also be upgraded to QR2.

 

 

  • Ultra-strong brushless servo motor which delivers up to 6Nm of torque on the steering axis

  • Integrated rev light bar in the wheel base
  • Choose from a growing selection of very realistic steering wheels in many different styles
  • Quick Release system to allow for the easy exchange of steering wheels within seconds, also during gameplay
  • Supports vibration motors in the steering wheel (depending on the steering wheel model). The included steering wheel does not come with vibration motors.
  • Table clamp included. Thickness range of the table board/desktop that the table clamp is able to lock to is 1,0 to 6,0 cm
  • Firmware can be updated with new features

  • Adjust force feedback strength during gameplay
  • Adjustment for vibration intensity in the steering wheel (depending on the steering wheel model). The vibration motors can be used by a game directly or by the ABS function
  • Simulate ABS vibration in the steering wheel (depending on the steering wheel model) and on pedals with rumble motor like the ClubSport Pedals V3
  • Advanced Drift Mode can add a natural damper to avoid oscillation or a negative damper which will speed up the wheel.
  • Customize the force feedback sensations by changing the spring, force effects and dampening forces
  • Adjust the brake force sensitivity of compatible loadcell pedals like the
  • ClubSport Pedals V3 or the CSL Elite Pedals LC
    * Tuning functions are subject to change.
