The Problem Every Alpha EVO Owner Faces
Got a Simagic Alpha EVO? You're running one of the best direct drive wheelbases available. But there's a catch—finding a compatible shaft extension has been nearly impossible since launch.
Without an extension rod, you're stuck with:
- ❌ Wheel too close to the monitor mount
- ❌ Can't achieve realistic GT or Formula seating positions
- ❌ Compromised comfort during long races
- ❌ Limited adjustability for different racing styles
We built the solution the Alpha EVO community has been waiting for.
