The DirectForce Pro lineup offers state-of-the-art sim racing pedals engineered to create a superior racing experience.
After more than two years of development, our DirectForce Pro pedals are ready and available. The DirectForce Pro pedal system was designed by racers for racers. It is currently being used by some of the best sim racers in the world including Coanda Simsport drivers Joshua Rogers, Mitchell DeJong, Martin Krönke, Mack Bakkum, and David Williams.
So, if you’re looking for precise, smooth, and durable pedals at a very competitive price, we believe you will be quite pleased with our two years of hard work, engineering, and testing. These ultra-premium pedals are highly adjustable with a reliable and consistent response.
- Extensive pedal face adjustability, including height, angle, and depth
- Custom PTFE inserts for even smoother operation
- Fully shielded pedal controller, cables, and grounded load cells
- throughout
- Customized and refined hydraulic dampers with minimal free-play
- Rodless throttle redesign to completely eliminate friction
- FEA optimized laser cut stainless steel construction to minimize
- weight
- Coil springs throughout for consistent and friction-free response
- Shielded and flanged ball bearings, eliminating free-play from the
- construction
All pedals allow for an overall tilt angle change of 21 degrees. In addition, the pedal faces themselves allow for an angle adjustment range of more than 30 degrees, as well as 20 mm depth adjustment (with even more range for the throttle face), and up to 30 mm vertical adjustment. We are confident that these pedals can be adjusted to suit almost any rig out there.
The following diagram represents the mounting dimensions for the pedal feet, with the brake having wider dimensions than the clutch and throttle:
Throttle:
The throttle pedal has a maximum throw of 20.3 degrees, or 58.1 mm of travel, with the pedal face in the mid position. When adjusted for minimum travel, the throw is just 7.5 degrees, or 21.5 mm. The travel will decrease by 9% and the pedal force will increase also by 9% when the face is at the minimum height and vice versa. This means a maximum configurable pedal force of 8.4 kg.
In its stock configuration, the middle of the pedal face has a height of 188 mm from the base mounting point, without a heel plate. The face itself has a length of 120 mm and is 55 mm wide.
Here’s a graph for the pedal response when adjusted for various load cell and corresponding spring seat hole positions:
The following graphs represent pedal responses at various preloads at each of these load cell positions:
Brake:
In its stock configuration, with the blue spring fitted, the brake pedal has a maximum pedal force of 65 kg, 16.2 degrees, or 49.6 mm of travel. This can be increased to 18.5 degrees with the shortest tie-rod setting.
With the red spring fitted, the maximum pedal force with stock settings is 130 kg, at 15 degrees and 46.1 mm of travel. Since the travel will decrease by 9% and the pedal force will increase also by 9% when the face is at the lowest height and vice versa, the maximum pedal force can be configured to reach 140 kg.
In its stock configuration, the middle of the pedal face has a height of 200 mm from the base mounting point, without a heel plate. The face itself has a length of 100 mm and is 70 mm wide.
Here are graphs for the pedal responses when adjusted for various tie-rod lengths – with the spring spacer stack chosen accordingly to adjust preload to zero* for each setting:
*When the tie-rod is lengthened, the length of the spring spacer stack must be increased with a different configuration of washers and spacers to eliminate free-play, which would otherwise be introduced. The opposite is true when shortening the tie-rod, unless additional preload is intended, despite a “softening” of the response curve.
Clutch:
The clutch pedal has a maximum throw of 25.4 degrees, or 77.1 mm of travel, with the pedal face in the mid position. Peak pedal force is 23.5 kg in the stock configuration. When adjusted for minimum travel, the throw is just 12.4 degrees, or 37.8 mm. The travel will decrease by 9% and the pedal force will increase also by 9% when the face is at the minimum height and vice versa.
In its stock configuration, the middle of the pedal face has a height of 200 mm from the base mounting point, without a heel plate. The face itself has a length of 100 mm and is 55 mm wide.
