Torque (Nm) doesn't just indicate the "strength" of the wheelbase, but above all the headroom available to feel the details of the force feedback.

9Nm (e.g. Alpha EVO Sport): perfect for anyone coming from consumer steering wheels (Logitech, Thrustmaster), mainly driving GT/Touring cars and on a limited budget. Already a huge leap in quality.

12Nm (e.g. Alpha EVO): the most versatile choice. It offers extra headroom for demanding sims (iRacing, ACC, LMU) and for those who want to progress over time without changing wheelbase.

18Nm (e.g. Alpha EVO Pro): for those seeking maximum realism, driving prototypes/Formula cars, or with a professional cockpit. It requires a solid rig.

Our advice: if your budget allows, 12Nm is the best compromise between performance and versatility. If in doubt, come and try them in our showroom in Pavia.
