Fanatec CSL DD 8nm

CSL DD. The new standard.

FANATEC® Direct-Drive technology comes to the CSL Series. From subtle sidewall flex to powerful self-aligning torque, you’ll feel everything with a heightened sense of realism. Exceptionally crisp and dynamic force feedback sensations await.

DIRECT-DRIVE SUPERIORITY.

When the steering wheel is directly mounted to the motor shaft, there’s no belt or gear drive to dilute the force feedback effects. The clear choice of all professional drivers and enthusiast sim racers is now available to a broader audience.

PLUG AND PLAY.

Our strong relationship with game developers means the CSL DD has broad compatibility and consistent behaviour across many popular titles. The Standard Tuning Menu has been simplified, allowing beginners to start quickly without having to worry about settings. The Advanced Tuning Menu remains for enthusiasts.

Maximum strength.

The CSL DD 8 Nm package includes the Boost Kit 180, a powerful 180W power supply that unlocks the full performance of the direct drive motor.

8 NM PEAK TORQUE.

Using the included Boost Kit 180, the CSL DD operates in its 8 Nm mode. This provides much stronger feedback, and as a result, you’ll feel the subtle cues more clearly too.

SMALL SIZE. HUGE PERFORMANCE.

This high level of torque can be sustained without the need for active cooling, with the extruded and CNC-machined aluminium casing acting as the structural chassis as well as the heatsink.

Torque to the hands.

The 100% custom motor was developed in Germany specifically for sim racing. It delivers sensational performance thanks to patented FluxBarrier technology, communicating the nuances of force feedback detail to your hands with remarkable clarity.

EFFICIENT AND RESPONSIVE.

The efficiency of the CSL DD motor technology means dynamic force-feedback performance is contained in a small footprint. This is also the first industrial motor to feature a carbon fibre composite motor shaft, which increases responsiveness and acceleration significantly due to low rotational masses.

ADVANCED FILTERS.

Enjoy balanced force feedback with the Standard Tuning Menu without worrying about settings. The Advanced Tuning Menu unlocks all the filters, so you can fine-tune the strength, smoothness, and mechanical feel of the force feedback, even while driving.
