Launch scheduled for October 27

Asetek has confirmed that DD10 will launch on October 27 at 11:00 CET, priced at US$499 excluding sales tax. The direct-drive wheelbase delivers a stated maximum torque of 10 Nm. [1] [2]

A separately sold Asetek Racing Wheelbase Boost Kit raises the output to 14 Nm. That higher torque figure applies with the upgrade, rather than to the standard package. [1]

Xbox requires a compatible wheel

DD10 supports PC use. Asetek describes it as Xbox-ready when paired with an Xbox-compatible Asetek steering wheel; that wheel is required for Xbox operation. The announcement does not mean every existing Asetek wheel enables Xbox support. [1]

Connections and mounting

The base has five rear connections for Asetek peripherals, a USB-C host connection and USB passthrough through its quick release. Asetek says it supports its steering-wheel range and third-party options using the appropriate quick-release arrangement. [1]

Published dimensions are 133×132×262 mm, with a weight of 7.92 kg. Configuration is handled through Asetek’s RaceHub software. [1]
