Simforge MARK-1 Pedals Review

Final thoughts on the Simforge Mark-1 pedal set. Out of the box this pedal set started exceeding my expectations considering the price point that they come in at. They are constructed from 3mm steel plate. That is sporting a nice
black, powder coat finish. All the edges of the metal plates and pieces were well finished with no burs left over from the manufacturing process. The pedal faces are well done with appropriate shapes and sizes for each. The brake pedal has an 80 kg load cell. The kit comes with a good assortment of polyurethane bumpers that allowed me to dial in a good feel in threshold and trail braking situations. The throttle and clutch pedal have a contactless hall sensor set up that can be adjusted for sensitivity. Something that I did not expect considering the Mark 1’s price. There are 3D printed PLA fixtures in the pedal structures that are used for fixing electronic bits but not used for any load bearing duties. You can download the 3D files for these parts and print them out yourself if you want a different color. All the fixing bolts and nuts in the kit are made from stainless steel. All the parts were present, so no trips to the local hardware store to source missing bits. There is an ample amount of adjustments available in each pedal. Allowing most sim racers to be able to dial in a good setting I think. The included pedal tray is constructed from 40
series aluminum profiles. It felt solid on the bench, and has enough mass to allow a good feel for the pedals available tactile feedback. The heel plate is finished in a red gloss powder coat. Like the rest of this kit it has a good
amount of adjustability in its design. Once I had everything mounted and adjusted to my taste, it was time to put them though some rigorous testing. As usual put them through a few hours of heel and toe use. This puts a lot of
pressure on any pedal set and allows me to see how they react to this type of treatment. Although they did not transmit the quality feel of some much more expensive pedal sets I have tested. They do deliver a satisfying driving experience. I was up to get up to speed without any dramas after a few initial laps. The Mark 1’s did allow me to achieve lap times that were consistent. Not as fast as my best lap times but consistent nonetheless. And really
at the end of the day that is what a pedal set is supposed to do. The Simforge Mark-1 pedal set met most of my expectations and exceeded some for a pedal set that cost $330 plus shipping. It certainly seems to be just as good or
better than some pedal sets I have tested in the past that cost more.
