Visitors can try the new S16 base for the first time in Europe, get behind the popular GT ONE, Vector X racing setup and the VD6 Bundle, whilst the S23, New Formula and Truck wheels, and expanded NAVOS flight range will be on display.

Frankfurt, Germany, October 13th 2026 - PXN will exhibit at SimRacing Expo Frankfurt 2026 from 16 October to 18 October at Messe Frankfurt, Hall 12-Booth EF1. The show will mark the first time in Europe that visitors can try PXN’s brand new and highly anticipated S16 direct-drive wheelbase. PXN will bring a broad racing hardware lineup, with hands-on sessions for the S16 setup and VD6 Bundle, alongside previews of its higher-power base and specialist wheels. The S16 will anchor a live simulator setup alongside the 300 mm GT ONE steering wheel and Vector X competition pedals, showcasing the peak of PXN’s new lineup.

 

Racing hardware to try:

The absolute top-of-the-line PXN sim racing set up is finally available to dive into at the fair, with the S16 taking centre stage. Delivering 16 Nm of constant torque and combining a dual-core processor, a 24-bit magnetic encoder and a real torque sensor for precise force feedback, together with the S23 they showcase PXN’s most ambitious bases yet. The GT ONE offers 78 input signals, four carbon-fibre paddles and telemetry lighting and alongside the Vector X pedals, featuring dual-sensor technology, 24-bit input resolution and an adjustable brake force of up to 200 kg, make for a racing experience one can’t skip if visiting the show.

The famous VD6 Bundle is also available for hands-on sessions. With a wheel, base and pedals in one package, it offers 6 Nm of constant torque and 7 Nm peak torque as an accessible entry into direct-drive racing, making it one of PXN’s most popular bundles.

Even more to discover:

The S23 direct-drive wheel base will be on display for drivers interested in PXN’s most powerful racing hardware. Rated at 23 Nm of constant torque, it pairs a dual-core processor with a 24-bit magnetic encoder and real torque sensing.

PXN will also show its two brand-new Formula steering wheels. The flagship FC 285 (W FC) is a 285 mm Formula-style wheel with full forged carbon-fibre construction for its housing and rear cover, an adjustable carbon-fibre Hall-effect paddle system and a magnetic Quick-Connect data interface. It also features a 4.3-inch customisable touchscreen, thumb encoders and RGB lighting. The FS 290 (W FS) is a 290 mm Formula-style wheel with an aluminium-alloy frame and a total weight of 1,600 g. Its 82 customisable inputs include a six-paddle system, while the 4.3-inch customisable touchscreen supports an IoT wireless display and telemetry system. Rev LEDs and flag indicators complete the dashboard.

For truck simulation, the 400 mm W TS brings a classic Scania-style wheel design aimed at Euro Truck Simulator and American Truck Simulator players. The S23, FS 290 (W FS), FC 285 (W FC), and W TS are on-site previews and may not be available for testing.

Flight simulation display:

PXN’s expanded NAVOS range will also be displayed, including the modular civil aviation Yoke System and the Combat HOTAS System, supported by PXN NEXUS software for profiles, mappings and response curves. As SimRacing Expo is focused on racing, the NAVOS products will be on display only and will not be available to try.
