Engineering

This Elastomer Kit allows you to upgrade your Sprint brake pedals to our latest injection moulded thermoset brake elastomers.

Please note that these new elastomers may already be installed on your Sprint. This is likely the case if you bought your Sprint pedals from December 2021 onwards.

If your rubbers/elastomers have markings on the top indicating length and resistance (‘soft’ or ‘hard’), you already have the new specification installed. If there are no markings, you have the earlier spec.

We’d like to stress that this is an optional upgrade. Earlier spec brake rubbers will also serve you very well for years to come, albeit with slightly different performance characteristics.

The feel of your brake pedal is critical for your sim racing experience. Continuous development has resulted in these thermoset brake elastomers, which were first introduced on our Ultimate+ pedals. These new elastomers have a few advantages:

The key advantages of using these new elastomers compared to the early spec rubbers are as follows:

A much more progressive brake feel. When applying force to the brake initially there will be more travel. Then the brake pedal feel gradually but very clearly stiffens.

Firmer bump and rebound characteristics. Especially on rebound (eg. when you decrease the force you put on the brake) a smaller decrease of brake force is required for the pedal to start moving back to its starting position.

Further improved durability. Extensive testing has shown that these new elastomers have a near zero failure rate and show no performance degradation even after 1 million cycles.

 

Mounting

These elastomers are a direct replacement for the default rubbers on the Sprint brake pedal. You can access the rubber stack by popping out the backplate of the brake pedal.

 

FAQ

The Elastomer Kit is not compatible with the following products:

(Classic) Sim Pedals Ultimate (eg. non-plus version): The inner diameter on these elastomers do not match the brake rod diameter on the classic Sim Pedals Ultimate. This kit also does not include the required black discs and spacers, damage to the elastomer will occur if you use the original metal discs.

If you want to upgrade your classic Sim Pedals Ultimate, please see the Classic Ultimate Upgrade Kit.

Sim Pedals Pro: This kit is not designed to be compatible with the Sim Pedals Pro. Required hardware to install the Elastomer kit is supplied with the Sprint pedals only.
