The Asetek La Prima wheel is packed with features
The La Prima Wheel is packed with features to put you in full control: 12 push buttons, two versatile 7-way kinky switches, three rotary encoders, and two thumb encoders.
All are crafted to the highest quality standards and rigorously tested in Asetek’s automated machines to guarantee they stand up to years of intense racing.
On the back, the wheel includes two contactless magnetic shifter paddles, ensuring your gear shifts are quick and smooth, helping you maintain momentum no matter how tight the race gets.
And for a dash of flair that's as functional as it is stylish, there are 15 fully customisable aRGB LED rev lights.
Not only can you tweak the aesthetics of your wheel through RaceHub—adjusting brightness, colour, and effects—but these lights are also crucial for timing those critical gear changes that could be the difference between taking the podium or trailing behind.
High-end, anti-flex design gives the La Prima wheel strength and rigidity
Many wheels, sim racing or real-life racing, get their strength and rigidity from the front face plate and the handles, oftentimes in a closed construction.
Unfortunately, that also makes them locked in size and design. To achieve maximum stiffness, Asetek have used an injection moulded chassis with a carbon, glass, and plastic composite material, providing a very high natural rigidity and strength, and featuring a laser-etched forged carbon exterior.
This allows you to easily change the handles, add clutches, and DRS paddles, while not relying on the handles to provide strength and stiffness.
Ergonomic and interchangeable handles
The ergonomic handles on this wheel are crafted from soft, durable silicone rubber, making them not only comfortable to grip but also super easy to keep clean and disinfected.
Whether you're racing glove-free or prefer to wear gloves, these handles are designed to provide consistent comfort and solid control each time you take the wheel.
What's really cool is the flexibility these handles offer. Want to switch up the look or feel of your wheel with Asetek LMP or suede handle? No problem!
The handles are super easy to swap out, allowing you to quickly upgrade to different colours, sizes, shapes, or even adjust the firmness to match your racing style or enhance your comfort.
This feature is perfect for drivers who love to tweak and personalise their setup to keep it feeling fresh and tailored just right.
The La Prima formula wheel includes dual contactless magnetic shifter paddles
On the backside of the wheel, you'll find two contactless magnetic shifter paddles by default.
These paddles are all about enabling quick, smooth gear shifts that feel as effortless as breathing.
They're designed to help you shift faster without any physical contact, reducing wear and tear and enhancing your overall racing performance.
And it's not just the paddles that are built to impress. Both the paddles and the wheel chassis are made from an ultralight yet super stiff carbon composite material, thanks to a high-tech injection moulding process.
This choice of material ensures that your wheel setup isn’t just lightweight—it’s also incredibly durable and rigid, giving you that consistent, responsive feel you need when you're pushing your limits on the track.
