Fanatec CSL Steering Wheel BMW Review

CSL Steering Wheel BMW

This new steering wheel comes to field an in-demand, and increasing audience for the CSL line products, Sure the CSL is not new for Fanatec, but what they did right to spike this recent popularity was the addition of Direct Drive technology into the line with the release of the DD CSL Base, that comes to bring Direct Drive technologies into the masses, no perfect time like this to announce a new wheel that perfect match this product,  with this new rim you can walk with a really high-end simracing system but with an entry-level price for sure.

The multi-purpose steering wheel is available to pre-order now with a price of €/$139.95, not that bad for a Fanatec product, in fact for what you get I think is a decent price, the rim is full of nice features like the durable materials, the tunning functions, and buttons combinations that allow you to adjust your telemetry really easy and in the way you like. the steering wheel is easy to pull out with the new Fanatec Clubsport QR1 quick-release ( included )

If you are new to CSL Direct Drive Technology I think this steering wheel is a must-have addition for your system, not just for the multi-purpose design but for the features that come with an entry-level range price product.
