Description
Fanatec CSL DD (8Nm) wheelbase for PC and Xbox
When the wheel is mounted directly to the frame, there is no belt or gear drive to reduce force feedback effects. The clear choice of all professional drivers and enthusiastic sim racers is now available to a wider audience.
Plug andPlay
Our strong relationship with game developers means that the CSL DD has broad compatibility and consistent behavior for many popular titles. The standard tuning menu has been simplified so beginners can get started quickly without worrying about settings. The Advanced Tuning Menu remains for enthusiasts.
The 100% custom motor was developed in Germany specifically for sim racing. It delivers sensational performance thanks to patented FluxBarrier technology, transmitting the nuances of force feedback details to your hands with remarkable clarity.
Efficient and responsive
The efficiency of CSL DD engine technology means that dynamic force-feedback performance is incorporated into a small footprint. This is also the first industrial engine with a carbon-fiber composite motor shaft, which significantly increases responsiveness and acceleration thanks to low rotational masses.
Up to 8Nm of torque
Standard peak torque is 5 Nm, with the Boost Kit 180 (sold separately) unlocking the full 8 Nm. This high torque can be sustained without the need for active cooling, with the extruded and CNC-machined aluminum housing acting as both the structural chassis and the heatsink.
The CSL DD uses an automotive-quality, all-aluminum quick-release tensioner. This part is user-exchangeable, ready for the transition to the all-new QR2 system (available soon).
Ready for the future
The all-aluminum construction and anodized surface ensure strength and durability and provide a robust connection to Fanatec steering wheels.
Internally connected to the wheel base via USB-C, the quick release can be easily upgraded to the next-generation QR2 system (available soon). Existing Fanatec wheels with an interchangeable Quick Release can also be upgraded to QR2.
