Fanatec Podium DD (25 Nm)

The Fanatec Podium DD is built for drivers who want absolute force feedback fidelity, uncompromising strength, and consistent performance at the highest level. Delivering a true 25 Nm of holding torque with 33 Nm peak overshoot, it offers the widest dynamic range of any Fanatec wheel base, translating subtle surface detail and major load changes with exceptional clarity.

With FullForce technology, the Podium DD goes beyond traditional force feedback by adding high-resolution detail effects that help reveal engine vibration, road texture, and traction loss. Combined with a custom direct drive servo motor, optimized thermal management, and a fully aluminum construction, this wheel base is engineered for serious sim racers, professional training environments, and commercial installations.

Built for Maximum Precision

Podium DD has been redesigned from the inside out to deliver higher performance within a compact footprint. The aluminum motor shaft, front and rear bearing seats, and full metal casing are engineered to withstand stronger forces and vibrations while maintaining exceptional smoothness and stability. Fanatec’s FluxBarrier technology and optimized rotor design help reduce magnetic cogging torque, producing a cleaner, more detailed steering feel.

Thermally Stable Performance

Many high-torque systems lose performance as temperatures rise. The Podium DD is engineered to maintain its claimed output under extreme conditions, with reinforced electronics and a newly developed cooling system that preserves its full dynamic range even during demanding sessions.

FullForce Detail Technology

Traditional force feedback communicates steering forces well, but often misses many of the smaller sensations that contribute to immersion. FullForce enriches the signal with ultra-low-latency detail effects, allowing compatible simulations to transmit more nuanced feedback from the engine, road surface, and tire behavior.
