When it comes to sim racing, nothing separates a casual setup from a true racing experience like brake feel. Additionally, having a good break pedal will allow you to traing your muscle memory, which is the key to be faster and more consistent around the track.
The Fanatec CSL Elite Pedals V2 don’t just replicate the sensation of real-world braking — they let you customize it. Thanks to their ingenious elastomer stiffness system, these pedals give you full control over how your brake pedal reacts, feels, and performs under pressure.
At the core of the CSL Elite V2 lies a high-precision load cell brake capable of handling up to 90 kg of pressure. Unlike cheaper pedals that measure only travel distance, Fanatec’s design measures true force, translating every gram of foot pressure into accurate in-game braking. The result? A pedal that rewards muscle memory, not just muscle strength.
What truly sets the V2 apart is its interchangeable elastomer stack, made up of three positions that shape your braking profile.
- The front elastomer, the one closer to the pedal plate, dictates the initial pedal movement — use a softer insert for smooth, progressive travel, or go firmer for that sharp race-car bite.
- The middle elastomer controls the mid-stroke resistance, where real cars start to build hydraulic pressure. Here, choosing between medium and hard elastomers creates that authentic, “hydraulic” ramp-up in feel.
- Finally, the rear elastomer, closer to the heel rest plate, acts as your hard stop, defining just how solid and responsive the brake feels when you’re pushing to the limit.
Fanatec includes three elastomer hardness options — 65, 75, and 85 Shore — allowing endless combinations to tailor your pedal feel. Whether you’re simulating a smooth GT endurance setup or the rock-solid brakes of a Formula 1 car, the CSL Elite V2 makes it possible.
Of course, Fanatec backs this customization with signature German engineering: cast aluminum construction, hall-effect sensors for throttle and clutch, and versatile connectivity via RJ12 to connect to your Fanatec wheel base, or USB to connect directly to the computer. The entire unit feels robust, premium, and built to last.
These pedals deliver performance once reserved for higher-end models. More than just hardware, they’re a training tool for your consistency, precision, and control.
If you want to feel like you’re truly connected to the car, the Fanatec CSL Elite Pedals V2 are your next upgrade. Tune your brake feel, build your confidence, and take your racing to the next level — one perfectly controlled stop at a time.
