Round Steering Wheels
The round wheel remains essential whenever driving calls for big movements. Rally, drift, touring cars, trucks or classic cars without power steering: in all of these, steering angles regularly go past half a turn, and a formula wheel quickly becomes uncomfortable.
The diameter, usually 310 to 330 mm, gives you the leverage that makes steering more progressive: at the same torque, a bigger wheel takes less effort and allows finer corrections. It is also the only format that lets you shuffle your hands around the wheel, a must in rally when countersteering.
The grip material deserves special attention on these wheels. Suede and SpeedSuede-type materials keep their grip when your hand deliberately slides around the wheel, where smooth leather becomes unpredictable. Some models combine leather at the main grip points with suede where your hands slide.
Finally, several round wheels in our catalog use a hub architecture: only the wheel is swapped while the hub electronics stay in place. It is the most affordable solution if you switch between several disciplines.
