Who are we?

At BavarianSimTec, we aren't just building hardware—we're a family business driven by a genuine passion for motorsport and sim racing. Born around the kitchen table and built out of our own desire for better gear, BavarianSimTec grew from a shared family dream into a brand built on trust, quality and craftsmanship.

Rooted in Regensburg, Bavaria, we combine real family values with precision engineering to bring authentic automotive excellence straight to your rig. For us, every driver isn't just a customer; you're part of the BavarianSimTec family. When you choose us, you're choosing a team that puts heart, soul, and a personal touch into every single detail.

How we build your Steering Wheel

Every single BavarianSimTec wheel starts its journey right here in Regensburg, Bavaria. From the initial CAD design to the final quality inspection, everything is created and perfected under our own roof.

We don't believe in mass assembly lines. Instead, every wheel is hand-assembled with meticulous care by our dedicated local team. We hand-pick premium components, precisely calibrate every switch, and ensure flawless fit and finish on every build. By keeping the entire process local and handcrafted, we ensure that the wheel delivered to your doorstep meets the highest standards of Bavarian craftsmanship and durability.

Software

Hardware is only as good as the software driving it. While many rely on third-party workarounds, we are the only sim racing hardware manufacturer that develops our very own software in-house - giving you a seamlessly integrated ecosystem right out of the box.

With PitStopApp, customizing your wheel is fast, intuitive, and requires no technical expertise. Easily adjust button lighting and AdaptiveBeamTec colors to match your preferences, your simulator, or your favorite racing team. Stay up to date with our free cloud-based RevLight profiles, which are continuously refined to mirror the shift lights of real-world race cars as accurately as possible. Explore a growing collection of pre-configured animations and lighting effects - all available with a single click, no coding or manual setup required.

Our Ergonomics

Ergonomics are at the heart of every BavarianSimTec steering wheel. Over the years, our grips have earned a reputation within the sim racing community for their exceptional comfort and control during both short sprints and endurance races.

Continuous improvement is part of our development philosophy. From our distinctive 13° Slope-Cut Design to the recently introduced One-Thumb-Total-Control concept, every new generation of wheels incorporates refinements designed to enhance the driving experience.

Because hand size and driving style are highly personal, we provide detailed grip dimensions and comparisons across our product range. Our wheel comparison page makes it easy to find the grip shape and size that best suits your preferences, helping you choose a wheel that feels right from the very first lap.

AdaptiveBeamTec

Innovation is at the core of everything we do. That's why we developed AdaptiveBeamTec - an intelligent combination of a high-detent torque encoder and a precisely engineered LED diffusion system.

As the encoder is rotated, illuminated position indicators provide clear visual feedback, allowing you to instantly identify the currently selected setting. When combined with our PitStopApp, AdaptiveBeamTec can also display telemetry-driven information such as ABS and Traction Control levels directly on the wheel.

MultiLink

Real racing demands hours of absolute focus, and discomfort should never be your enemy. That's why we engineered our signature 13° slope cut grips - creating a perfectly natural hand angle for maximum comfort during brutal endurance stints. Whether your hands are large, small, or somewhere in between, the subtle contouring ensures an intuitive, custom-tailored feel for every driver. But don't just take our word for it: ask our community. Sim Racers as well as real Racers love our ergonomics because every button, encoder, and thumbwheel sits naturally within reach. The result? Total control without ever breaking your grip or losing your line.
