QUICK RELEASE XAP 6 POINTS - GT VERSION

XAP 6-Point Quick Release: precision and reliability for Motorsport

Drawing on nearly 30 years of Motorsport expertise, XAP has developed its 6-Point Quick Release – GT Kit to meet the demanding requirements of GT, Rally and Endurance racing applications.

This quick-release steering wheel system combines precision mechanical engineering, secure locking and outstanding rigidity to ensure a reliable connection between the steering wheel and steering column.

Entirely designed, machined, assembled and inspected at XAP's facilities in Calvisson, France, it benefits from XAP's expertise in mechatronics and precision machining.

Key features and benefits

  • Secure mechanical locking: 6 redundant locking pins ensuring a reliable connection between the steering wheel and steering column.
  • Maximum precision: zero axial and radial play (0 µm) for precise steering force transmission.
  • Excellent repeatability: angular repositioning accuracy better than ±0.03°.
  • High mechanical strength: exceeding 1,500 N·m to withstand demanding Motorsport applications.
  • Quick and intuitive removal: mechanism designed for smooth steering wheel removal and refitting.
  • Durable design: materials and surface treatments suited to mechanical stress, vibration and thermal cycling.
  • Made in France: complete control over design, machining, assembly and quality inspection at XAP's facilities.

A complete kit for GT, Rally and Endurance applications

The XAP 6-Point Quick Release is supplied as a complete kit consisting of two components:

  • Steering wheel adapter.
  • Steering column hub.

Its 6-point mounting configuration, featuring a Ø 70 mm bolt circle, corresponds to a commonly used mounting pattern in Motorsport, particularly in GT, Rally and Endurance racing vehicles.

Dimensional compatibility with the steering wheel and steering column must be checked before installation.

The system is also used in complete steering column assemblies homologated for vehicles competing in FIA championships.
