Fantastic video. Everything about it was perfect. Very informative, the videography the music, the pacing are all amazing. To me, your videos are not just reviews, they are art. Thanks a lot !
Thanks for that kind post man 🤗
It means the world 🍻
Pre-ordered this beast for GT racing and I already have the FX Pro which I use for open wheel. Simagic are great quality and have a good attitude towards customer support and feedback, which is very important.
I got it specifically for gt and for open wheel honestly this style of wheel is so versatile. I'm glad I didn't bother getting the fanatec formula v2.5 that wheel is also great value for money but it's just way too small for me. My thumb gets caught on the metal shift bracket lol. Fingers too long
Yeah, I had the Fanatec V2 and it is too small. I sold that together with my DD1 and replaced it with the Alpha. The NEO will be good for GT and Formula. I just wanted a second wheel to add to the eco system and basically have a spare.
this wheel is going to become the new Fanatec Mclaren wheel
That’s what I believe too man 😁 the fun part is , for my McLaren I had to do pay like over 200€ to convert for my Simucube before and this needs just 20$ maglink 🔥😃
Thank you for validating my blind pre-order that I'm yet to receive! This will be the first ever Formula/GT-style wheel and I'm even more stoked after watching your review.
I'm primarily a drifter but love to dive into different disciplines to learn more.
It is very comfortable man , you will love it for those experiences 💪
A fantastic video Steliyan! I’m so glad that simagic sent you one of these to review! Somehow you always get the information I can’t find on the websites or other reviews! Like it being made of carbon reinforced polymer with the top layer being genuine forged carbon. I couldn’t find that on any website selling it even simagics own website! Thanks for the info and the great video mate! Keep up the great work! You are one of the great pillars of the sim racing community!
The polymer thing was one of the first things they teased in they Instagram profile some weeks ago.
@@spacelube5845 awe makes sense. I don’t have instagram.
Your review vids are comfy. Very easy to listen to and well presented.
Thanks for the kind post buddy 🍻
What a great video, mate! ALL the necessary info without clickbait or BS. Thanks for this! Ordering now based on your opinion!
Thanks man 🍻
You will love it 💪
I pre ordered this on day1, so excited for it to arrive the lighting and animations look superb!
Man, I can’t wait to see how many crazy profiles will be made for this with the 73 LEDs in SimHub 😃
Some crazy sequences are possible 🔥
Nice wheel
If i would need one that’s the one i get for sure.
Thanks for your work👍👍👍👍
As always pleasure to watch your videos
Thx man 🤗
Always great support 🍻
Just got into the Simagic eco system, ordered this already 👍
Simagic proving that the competition is price gouging for sim steering wheels. No reason why some of these wheels should cost $1500, $2000 & etc. It’s greed & gate keeping! Hats off to Simagic for delivering an awesome product at a fair price!!
Yes man.absolutely agree 🤛
That is a quality bit of kit. Now on my radar. Thanks dude.
Awesome kit indeed man 😃🔥
I'd love to see more gameplay of this wheel with button effects 😍
Thank you for your review! I was already considering going into the Simagic ecosystem (especially for the Alpha Mini and the P1000), so this wheel totally closes the deal for me!
Simagic are doing all the right steps in the last few years indeed man 😃
So many products. Nice to see more competition. Microcenter has a deal on the Simucube sport wheelbase right now. You can get the wheelbase and, a Gomez X-29 wheel for 999.00! I think all of this new gear is leading to lower costs.
Great video as always bud!
I remember my first wheel for my first DD base which costed 450€ and was 3D printed crap 🙈
Now this for that price is great achievement for the us the costumers!
🔴🏁Thanks for the presentation of this steering wheel, which I think will become a must-have for its price.👍
Crazy times man 🔥💪😃
Sempre video stupendi. Complimenti davvero.
Thank you for the support brother 🤗
What's up brother? This wheel looks awesome and very functional. I dig the leds and the red anodized thumb rotors, makes it look pretty 😍 haha. You were cranking on that thing 💪, didn't see much flex at all. Definitely seems durable and tough enough to last a good while. Time to save up cause it looks like I'm getting a new wheel soon 😉. Thanks for the detailed review Steliyan, very informative as always bro 👍. Have a great day.
There is zero flex man 😃
Only the silicon grips squeeze under full for if I try hard 💪
I'm so locked into the Fanatec ecosystem. I really love my Podium base. But some of these wheels that are coming out, that look like they are just so perfect in the shapes of the actual beefy handholds make me really want to try one of these. You've got nice videos. Thanks for the review. The price is ridiculous.
If you have the podium hub you can literally buy this wheel and the maglink and not have to worry about a thing. You can either use simhub or simagic software depending on how deep u want to go. With sim hub you can even configure the lights around the rotaries to be a fuel gauge
As the friend explained before, with Fanatec hub or SRM hub the Neo will work independently with the MagLink trough SimHub or SimPro manager 🤛
Could you share the simhub profile you created for this please? I have mine on order and just getting prepared for when it finally arrives.
@@chepilevski What SRM products do you need to get that to work? Im in the same situation.
Thank you to showing us that beauty, the thing what's missing to be perfect is carbon fiber shifter paddles "at least for me" that's why i order carbon plate before to purchase the wheel 😜
thanks and keep racing!
Thanks for the awesome review! I just received mine this week and it's truly amazing. I'm really enjoying it so far.
With all your experience with the Ultimate, I was wondering if you could share your Simpro settings for iRacing with me? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance! 🙏
Ordered from my distri in the US, Simshop TX, the second I received their newsletter.
Hope they ship soon.
I think the price for the quality, features and looks with shifters, clutch and quick release is a game changer for sub $300.
73 LEDs with SimHub is crazy man too 😃
I can imagine the crazy profiles with fun animations already 💪😁
I pre ordered as soon as it was available on Apex Sim Racing, which was I think the first, because I checked Simshop and they didnt have it yet. Hope I'm one of the first to get it! And hope February delivery means February 1st not 28th lol
man that's a great looking wheel
This actually looks too awesome, I was looking to buy a GT style wheel for my MOZA base and now this comes out, I had my eyes on the KS wheel but now with this out I might get and convert the QR to a moza base, this seems too good for the price, great deal
Was waiting for this video from you. Got this wheel on pre-order a month or so ago. I had a feeling you'd approve. 😉 Stay Frosty my dude!
Even if I have already high expectations from Simagic, somehow I’m getting surprised with there products man😃
It is new approach from them and is still absolutely top 💪
That maglink and 73 individually controlled LEDs will make magic in SimHub 🔥😁
I love your videos sooo much,
Can you make a video how to put this wheel on simucube and other bases? Or can you link everything i need to install it on my simucube 2 pro?
Another great insight on a Simracing product, now if those of us that first batch preordered it, sight and unseen, could get a hold of our own 😂
😁🍻
the wheel i have been waiting for
Nice video brother🙏 I am a big fan of this wheel
Thanks Alex 🤗
It’s awesome indeed bro 💪
I saw you in the practice lobby for mt panorama 😮been enjoying this week? I know you've said it's one of your favorite tracks.
Yeh man, I had to prepare for the race on Sunday 😃
May I ask which exact model of Sparco Gloves you are driving?
As always: great video, thanks for the good demonstration!
Those are the Spaco Arrow MY20 FIA
They are very expensive but man, I use them for years and they are still in great condition!
I will definitely buy them again 😃
I have this on preorder. Tick all the boxes for me !
Simagic definitely offers the best value ecosystem in the premium sector of sim racing.
Man Simmagic and Moza are the 2 best companies for sim racing at the moment i had my R12 die just a e days ago the plastic piece in my usb port broke and Me za sent a whole new logic board or pcb i didn't even have to ask or plead my case they just wanted a picture of it and proof of purchase and wha lah i have a new board on the way with Fanatec you would have to fight them to get a wheel base fixed i was in utter shock at how awesome Moza handled this ill buy nothing but Moza from here on out they stand by there products and the happiness of the customer
That's great but there's a huge difference between these 2 Chinese companies. Simagic innovates and is it's claims are understated. Moza basically copies and exaggerates it's claims. You can look up comparison videos between the 2 company products.
A lot of value for under 300
what a beauity of a wheel. now i slightly regret rushing to buy my new rig and bought the f core. now please simagic, make a round wheel in the same quality with maglink!! ; -) i need a good rally wheel for the asetek base
I am pretty sure the next wheel from them will be a round one at a similar price point. Can't wait!!!
It looks amazing. Too bad I'm a VR guy. I was really feeling the increase in speed watching you drive in your rig. Good stuff.
Its a super nice wheel
And you can use it on difrent bases thats sick ❤
Really good direction from Simagic making it open for everyone 💪
Thanks for another perfect review!
Being huge fan of Simagic since it's M10 hit the market. Their progress is something not only sim-gear companies should look at.
Still need one quick advice from you. I'm about to order new setup for home use and can't decide if it's worth extra money to take Alpha medium (15nm) instead of Mini (10 Nm)? I never tried Medium/Ultra, so don't know if they can really add some serious gain into FFB details, that Mini is missing. Maybe even make some vid about it.
Thanks for the kind words man 🤛
About the base, if you don’t planning to use 12-13nm for daily driving then you won’t gain much in terms of FFB details!
One advantage of having big base and use it at 40-50% is,they never get hot and the rest is placebo in my opinion! I still prefer to have as bigger base as I can but is mostly my ego and the fuck questions in my head (what if)
If you don’t care to spend, definitely go for the bigger one but the gains are negligible 🤛
I ordered mine last week!! And I guarantee you I'm going to be diving head first into simhub integration. I've been refreshing UA-cam to see reviews of it since last week lol. Glad to see yours is one of the 1st.
I can’t wait to see what people will do with all the 73 LEDs in SimHub man 😃
Some so many animations and sequences will be possible 💪
@@chepilevski I've already seen that you can set the dial LEDs to display fuel levels and stuff. I'll gladly share whatever I make with you and your community
Do you have a video detailing Your button box?
Really nice to see people besides Fanatec finally attack the sub $300 range for quality but budget friendly wheels. Mostly GT3 / Formula style
Moza has released the KS wheel which is pretty good for the price too. Better than Fanatec's offerings.
@@Elias_g1 honestly Moza has always been sub par IMO. They are heavily overrated for NM output. They overheat which again is due to them being overrated working harder than they need to, the wheels are sub average. The only thing about them that’s attractive is the price but dollar per value in today’s market falls short. The only people who praise them usually are fanatec haters just cause they need something to compare and say is better than the CSL DD series.
@@mrmidnight32 exactly this but to add in some ways they are even worse, they copy and exaggerate their product descriptions. Imagine R12 being weaker than a 10nm Alpha mini!
Awesome
Steliyan, what is the thickness of the Maglink metal plate and what is the length of the screws they include for attaching a different QR?
How important do you think it is to have the lightest wheel possible with the Alpha Mini? I saw a review where they said heavier wheels will numb the force feedback, making it not feel as agile too.
Would the F-Core be a better option for the Alpha Mini than the Neo?
Hey! Been using your alpha u settings for a while now, but recently switched to simpro V2 and can't figure out the settings, I get a lot of oscillation when i let go of the wheel..Any updated settings from u? Thanks!
Taken right out of mozas book. I like it tho. It’s def a bit better looking
I have the f core wheel from CC but just wish it had back lit buttons now after seeing this I’m considering swapping my wheel for this. As you’ve tried both how does it compare to the f core?
In terms of comfort they feel almost the same having similar grips and as you can see, this one is loaded with features and is insanely rigid 😃
Hi mate. Any information about the extra pins inside the QR ? Are they going the moza way with a v2 bringing direct connection without Bluetooth?
I don’t have information about that buddy. Will try to find out as there are way too many pins indeed
thank you for your opinion Master, this wheel is so Gorgeus but i have my FX ehehe
I wish the FX had the MagLink compatibility and be able to run with all bases 😃
Simpro 2 beta that just came out says GT Neo has Simhub detection so maybe it works wirelessly now without maglink
Simagic user here! Shut up and take my money!
🤣🤣🤣
Hello meine freunde, they have made a great move. Other brands will inspire from simagic.
For the MONEY and with those features, it actually can't bé beaten.
If I havent done twoo wheels in Diy, Ill definitively go with this one .
Absolutely agree man, really good move from Simagic to make it open for everyone 💪
So if I didn't care about the price difference between the FX and the GT Neo, which wheel would be better? I want a wheel for open wheel racing. The pre-orders are still about a month or so away but the FX is available now. Is there a huge difference in build quality going from one to the other or are they both about the same and the FX is going to be phased out?
The FX is better quality as it uses real carbon but the handles have flex on the bottom and the Neo is super rigid!
Also the FX don’t have SimHub compatibility and have less LEDs for effects!
damn what a nice wheel and the price ...... i´ll get this
Hey Steliyan, are you still using the Simagic extension shaft on your alpha ultimate? Any concern about motor wear or damage?
Hi buddy🤛
I know Simucube for example don’t suggest extending the shaft and they must have there reason to say that and I guess that must be the case for all DD bases as they are the same mechanism but I use that now for months and the base is going well without problem and never heard anyone have problems with that!
I will continue using extensions in the base for sure as that’s how the rig is built and if some day will have problem will report!
Is it possible to install a different QR to match with other DD, base brand (not moza obviously 😂)
I saw they are working on quick releases for all different bases in there website or instagram! That will be possible for sure
Now a nice round wheel 32-33 cm for the same price please 🤞
Shiiiiit, why did I buy the fricking Fanatec wheelbase
Podium hub with qr, also okay.
i mean thares some good new wheel emulators now. thares the new srm ting emulator that just sits in the shaft and you than get a 70mm adapter for a fanatec qr about£60+ the qr and shiping. the only thing with the ting emulator is if you forget to take it out and you put a fanatec wheel on its gonna fuck the pins up. thares also the LEOXZ QR that has an emulator built into the qr for £120. simracingmachines has a hand full of options
I just sold all my fanatec after 6 months and have gone Simagic, not looking back, the quality is excellent.
@@tonyf9076 Good to know, I was looking at Fanatec until I found Simagic. This wheel is pre ordered. And I am saving up for the Alpha
Sell it, plenty morons that will buy used Fanatec stuff as they are brainwashed
Great wheel. I have only one concern - paddle shifters. It seems like no “crispy” feel at all. What is actualy feel from paddle shifters?
It is very crispy feel just as the rest I have around buddy, just super silent!
Have good travel for sure !
@@chepilevski definitely interested in this wheel then
Спасибо за обзор. Ты капитальный красавчик, прям как Neo 😁 я думаю он стоит своих денег. Интересно, а можно на эти крутилки сделать изменение цвета при перегреве колёс в реальном времени?) 4 крутилки 4 колеса😮
Я не знаю, есть ли в SimHub такая телеметрия. спасибо за добрые слова, мой друг
thank you sir, might pick this up for my moza r5. would you say this is a better value over the Moza KS wheel?
The SimHub gives so much more options man 😃
Definitely. Quality is also way better plus more features
I have no complaints with my KS wheel, but if I were to be on the fence right now, then Simagic has won me over just slightly. Moza KS is also really good value but now it’s second fiddle.
If Simagic keeps bringing wheels out around this price point give or take they are going to be gaining more and more reputable position in the Sim industry, just 1 month 10 days until consumers get their Neo's, any chance you can find out if they will be releasing the new QR to buy by itself?
The reason i'm seriously debating leaving VR, pointless having nice looking gear when you can't see it to appreciate it. I'm building a Nostagic F1 wheel but won't even be able to see it
I saw they are working on QR for all the different bases but don’t know when and if will sale separately but my guess is they will !
VR is still the best experience in my opinion and I love jumping in VR all the time but as you’ve said, it hides the beautiful gear!
But if you can have both, triple and VR is the best way 💪
Now I can enjoy even more the VR if the use it ones a week 😁
@@chepilevski I shall keep an eye open for the QR then, if they did a black QR50 it would be perfect for my F1 rim. I will have to use a single 34in ultrawide sadly, my space is like closet. My dream is to recreate the 'GT One TS020' cockpit,
they might get those neos out before some people get their black friday fanatec order
Can this use in M10 base?
I will sell my formula V2.5 X once it´s arrived and will take this instead
I'm seriously torn between this and the moza ks, since both will work with my wheelbase, which one do you recommend?
Neo is definitely better wheel buddy 🤛
Thank you!
My whole simrig is based on your recommendations and reviews, you've been of great great help.
Thank you so much!
@@chepilevski
Glad I took your advice again
Got it paired with my cammus 15nm, absolute beauty
Looks good. But on what base can it be used?
Any wheelbase with the MagLink connector.
I will sell my formula V2.5 X once it´s arrived and will take this instead@@wangte27
were available (also for preorder) in Germany?
Those guys here have it for preorder buddy
eu.sim-motion.com/produkt/simagic-gt-neo/?lang=en
Here we have one of the negative things about VR. We are not able to enjoy beautiful products like this. Would be nice to have a active wall mount. Meaning you can hang it on the wall while the LED's are illuminated. 👍
That’s true man but VR is such a brutal experience, isn’t it 💪😃
Are expensive Steering Wheels needed? Like the $2000+ ones. What are gaining by spending $2k+ for a steering wheel? Wheelbase I understand, but a steering wheel I'm still trying to understand are they needed for ex: Aestek Forte wheel or this one video Simagic. Thank you for your time
No buddy!
They are just better quality and maybe have more effects but the premium price is mostly for those who can afford them ! I. Terms of gaining something from driving perspective, the difference can be negligible!
I we sometimes pay premium because we can and want to enjoy certain product without expecting more or less!
At least that’s my personal opinion 🤛
Boss thank you. So just flash. Lol
What size monitors do you use?
32 inch buddy
Какой руль лучше, этот или круглый? Я понимаю , что круглый универсальный, но все же хочется этот
это зависит от машин, на которых вы ездите. для автомобилей GT это лучший выбор
@@chepilevski в Asseta Corsa лучше на Neo?
Damn!
So you can just bolt on a Fanatec QR2 and this will work? (no pins that will break etc?)
After there mess of Black Friday, I'm looking for a good GT wheel, and this might be it!
You will need a Fanatec podium connector. That's on Fanatec 😢
You will need Podium Hub for the base activation and this will work.
What is going on with the apocalypse outside
🤣🤣🤣
Crazy weather 😁
360 in Europe still vfm of course.
Yeh man, MSRP is good for some companies but here we have to pay quite a bit of VAT 🙈
Wow, this gave Moza KS wheel a run for their money… They stepped up on the value even more which I thought wasn’t possible at this price range. I hope Moza isn’t going to let this slide ;)
That competition is crazy 😃
The guys here have achieved something incredible for the price 🔥
@@chepilevski Indeed they have. I do feel a little bit jealous for those who have their faith on Simagic now. :)
@@X1errathe difference is that one is a dedicated sim company with no other business while the other isn't ... No prizes guessing which is which.
@@chepilevski do you think the simagic neo is worth it to somebody who already has a KS wheel?
@snappedbydan I have the same question. The KS wheel at high NM force rattles like crazy and you hear all the plastics buttons rattle. I wonder if the same happens to this wheel?
We definitely need good quality budget wheels. The market is flodded with too many premuim high end wheels and expensive use of materials for a sim rig.
Absolutely agree with you man
how to i use this with my fantec dd pro base
You need the Fanatec podium hub or SimRacingMachine emulator.
The MagLink plate have different pattern holes to be attached to standard 50 or 70mm holes for the different quick releases on the market, Fanatec included 🤛
Does the fit on a normal 70mm Quick release?
yes with a mag link to use on another DD
@@RoadRashHDthat’s awesome. I can slap my simucube qr on this. Thanks for the reply.
I saw in there website they are working on different quick releases for all bases out there !
Moza KS vs Simagic Neo?
Well, this have simhub compatibility quite shifters better grips !
The KS was absolutely awesome but this is better in few aspects 🤛
can use with console? Xbox x?
No but there is some conversation kit about that bit I personally don’t know much about 🙈
Hello! Is simagic quick release compatible with moza one? Not gonna lie that I'm interested with this weel :p
I’m testing this wheel on that video with Moza R16 actually and the QR pattern is the same but you need the MagLink to use it with other bases including moza !
Cool video, but these expensive wheels are unnecessary in VR. I’d save the money on gear and get a CSL dd setup with motion sim and VR which is the end game setup.
That’s true 😁
I am in a dilemma, I have the KS steering wheel and I still have to buy the motor base.
I have three options
Moza R12 + KS
Alpha mini + adapter to ks
Sell KS steering wheel and buy simagic NEO + alpha mini steering wheel
I heard that the feeling of the alpha mini is better than moza but its software is complicated compared to Moza
Where I live, a R12 MOZA base costs the same as a Simagic alpha mini.
It would only be $50 from the apadtator if I choose moza ks + alpha mini
I have felt that the shift paddles of this NEO do not transmit sensations, because they did not make any noise
Although once immersed in the game's audio it shouldn't matter and could even be positive
To me the alpha mini doesn’t feel better from the r12 in the settings I personally prefer the FFB.
I can make them to feel the same buddy for my taste!
Most of those bases are very very close interns of FFB detail and performance
@championdark970 I can't speak for the KS, but I have reviewed and compared R12 and mini. You are right. Mini is a better base, but the software has been better now.
Also, KS is an amazing wheel, but GT Neo is a wheel with third party compatibility, stronger build and Simhub support. I have reviewed it too. :)
Response to Moza's KS?
🤔
No... it's been a while since they took out a wheel
as someone who really enjoys rally racing I wish ANYONE would make a dedicated rally wheel. everyone is reinventing the same formula wheel. onroad racing is just flat out boring to me. way to sterile and clinical with zero room for error. I'd rather wait in line at the DMV than play road racing on the sim.
What I don't like about simagic, and maybe generally about Chinese-made gadgets, is that they have to make everything a Christmas tree.
Way too much lights for my taste.
349€ in germany......
The VAT will change the price for different places and we have to pay quite a bit in Germany indeed 🙈
319eur in Poland.
@@Haro64 wow, that is quite a difference from Germany 🙈
That wheel looks Terrible sorry.
That’s fine Nick, we all have different tastes and I’m sure there will be people who will not like the esthetic.
Have a great Sunday mate 🍻
Lol😂😂😂😂 lovely comment
Great video as always, thank you! I dunno if there are many folks asking for this but I wish Simagic bases, wheels, and pedals worked with the PS5. I would buy their gear in a heartbeat *take-my-money.gif*. This wheel and the P1000 pedals (w/ haptic motors) have me drooling. Sooner than later I'll have to make the jump to PC sim racing just for the experience of better gear and sims.
They do. Just get a SIGMA converter ua-cam.com/video/jgXgz5YvRHw/v-deo.htmlsi=ZWM6GMR8yhrGUkZP
