XAP Technology GT-R Steering Wheel — Direct Control for Rally Applications
The XAP Technology GT-R is a competition steering wheel with a full rim, designed for rally vehicles. It combines six backlit push buttons, four rotary switches and two or three paddles depending on the selected configuration. Contactless Hall effect technology for the rotaries and paddles reduces wear and play, while CAN communication helps integrate the wheel into the vehicle's electronic architecture.
The 33 cm rim provides a secure grip for the steering movements encountered in rallying.
XAP can customise the front panel with a laser-engraved logo, image or button labels. XAP can also manufacture a quick release for this steering wheel, creating a solution suited to the steering column and vehicle architecture. The two- or three-paddle configuration can be selected according to the functions required by the project.
Key Benefits
