Full description SimXPro R160 Grey or Black
The base frame:
The R160 is the absolute bang for buck in terms of 40x160 aluminium profile rigs. In fact its the basic version of the XT160.
Aluminium profile simrigs are very popular because you can easily upgrade, adjust and mount almost everything. Expanding and upgrading is very easy because most SimXPro parts can be used with this rig.
Base frame dimensions: Ca. 1350x660x820mm
Width between uprights: 580 mm
Weight: ca. 42 KG
Assembling the R160:
The R160 must be assembled with 2 people. The R160 is easy to assemble when you are a bit handy and have patience. The mounting instructions are clear. Because there are so many possibilities with our system, a little technical insight is needed. The most important thing to prevent flex is to tighten everything properly.
Choose your pedal support:
Standard Pedal tray:
Standard pedal tray is included. This tray fits all the common pedalsets in the market: Fanatec, Thrustmaster, Logitec, etcetera. You can upgrade to our profile pedal deck when you have a strong loadcell or hydraulic pedalset.
Profile Pedal Deck (upgrade +€ 20,- incl. vat):
Can be selected in the option field. This profile pedal deck can not hold pedalsets which must be mounted from the bottom.
You can use T-nuts in the channels of the profiles to create the neccesery mounting pattern. Make sure you have the right mounting hardware or find yourself what you need in our bolts and nuts section.
Both trays can be adjusted in hight and angle to fit your preferences.

Choosing a seat
Because everyone has different wishes, our rigs are not offered with a fixed seat.
If you already have a seat from your current simulator, rig or car, you can usually mount that with 4x M8 t-nuts on to the R80 baseframe.
Testing a seat first:
We advise our costumers to test a seat before ordering. Specially with the more expensive models. There are often local shops with demo models for testing.
When you buy a seat, make sure that all necessary mounting materials and brackets are included.
Shipping seats:
Due to the volume weight, seats can only be delivered to EU addresses.
Usually the seat is shipped with a different carrier then due to the different size restrictions of individual carriers.
Anodizing or Powder coating.
Powder coating and anodizing
Almost all black aluminum profiles that you see today are anodized. Anodizing is a chemical surface treatment for untreated aluminum. During this process a thin layer of black is created that covers the surface of the profile. Anodizing is thin and very sensitive to scratches.
SimXPro Black Powder coating
Because aluminum has a gray color in itself, this problem with gray profiles is not an issue. We thought it was a shame that the black profiles were damaged so quickly, so we researched for a better option. We have found this in our unique industrial coating. Our coating is up to 30 times more scratch resistant than anodizing. The appearance is also more luxurious, the coating also feels much smoother.
Our Silver/gray profiles are NOT powder coated. This is the reason for the price difference between both versions. All brackets in both the grey and the black version have a matte black structured powder coating.
Rubber feet
Standard dampers:
Standard vibration dampers are included to mount under your rig. With these dampers you keep the vibrations into your rig.
