This steering wheel is basically the combination of two products, the Podium Rim R300 and the Clubsport Universal Hub for Xbox One. If you compare this rim side by side with the Podium Steering wheel R300 you will notice that the main differences lie in the Clubsport Universal HUB, the Podium version use instead a combination of (4) products, the Clubsport just use (2). the rim is the same for both products.
Basically this product was created to get the full advantage of the Podium new technologies but for the Clubsport line users. with this steering wheel you can test what the Podium line looks like without making expensive upgrades
What stands out the most about this rim is the cover in premium smooth leather and gold stitching. The other thing is the diameter; 30cm, making this wheel a good all-rounder, suitable for many vehicle types. If you are looking for an any-type of racing styles addition this steering wheel might be your best selection
The compatibility is another point for this rim, is fully compatible with the New Xbox One series X, Xbox One, and PC, The Podium version is only compatible with PC.
