Sim-Lab XERO-PLAY V2 Steering Wheel Quick Release

Sim-Lab XERO-PLAY V2 Steering Wheel Quick Release The Sim-Lab XERO-PLAY V2 is a zero-play steering wheel quick release with full USB data passthrough built directly into the coupling. Machined from aluminium to exacting tolerances, it locks in with a positive click — no alignment guesswork — and releases just as cleanly with a pull of the lever. Its Ø70 mm M5 industry-standard bolt pattern fits virtually any sim racing wheel, and it works on any wheelbase with a 70 mm PCD mount, with or without passthrough. Backed by a 4-year warranty. Main Features Zero clutter connection: wheel connectivity moves into the quick release itself, clearing visible cable clutter from around the wheel area — a cleaner, more intuitive connection between you and the car. Motorsport-proven engineering: the push-to-lock, lever-release mechanism is built on the same quick release principles used in real motorsport, where a driver needs a fast, reliable disconnect under pressure and zero tolerance for play. Universal wheel connection: latest-spec Sim-Lab and GRID Engineering wheels connect natively through an 8-pin interface with a simple spigot install, while third-party wheels with a USB tail connect through an adapter cable exiting the spigot — keeping most of the passthrough benefit with the wheel you already own. Open ecosystem: native Sim-Lab and GRID Engineering support alongside third-party wheels, with no proprietary lock-in. Passthrough is optional, not required: the quick release works on any 70 mm PCD wheelbase whether or not you use the data passthrough. Affordable by design: the precision engineering is concentrated on the base side — the component that carries every connection for years — while the wheel side stays deliberately lean, so adding wheels remains economical. Compact coupling: just 62 mm from base side to wheel side once connected, preserving your driving position. Native integration with the DDS TorqueSync wheelbase, and standalone USB-C operation on other bases. Technical Specifications Type: steering wheel quick release with USB data passthrough Material: precision-machined aluminium Mechanism: push-to-lock with lever release, zero play Bolt pattern: Ø70 mm, M5 Length (base side + wheel side connected): 62 mm Native interface: 8-pin, for Sim-Lab and GRID Engineering wheels Third-party interface: USB-C adapter cable exiting the spigot Warranty: 4 years What's in the Box XERO-PLAY V2 Steering Wheel Quick Release Hardware kit for mounting Data passthrough cables Versions Complete set: base side and wheel side, the full solution to equip a wheelbase and a first wheel. Wheel side: the wheel-side module alone, to add further wheels to an existing XERO-PLAY V2 setup. Compatibility The XERO-PLAY V2 uses the Ø70 mm M5 industry-standard bolt pattern and fits virtually any sim racing steering wheel. It works on any wheelbase with a 70 mm PCD mount, with or without USB data passthrough. Use the table below to check your hardware. Hardware Compatibility Sim-Lab & GRID Engineering wheels Full data passthrough through the internal 8-pin connector, cable included. The cleanest, best-rated experience in the system. Third-party wheels with USB Data passthrough for any wheel with a USB connection, USB-C stubby cable included. Ascher, BavarianSimTec, GSI, VPG Internal connector cable available on request. Sim-Lab DDS TorqueSync base Native integration on the base side. Other wheelbases Any base with a 70 mm PCD mount, via the standalone USB-C connection. Passthrough is optional. Not compatible Proprietary non-USB protocols: Fanatec hub and Simucube wireless link. FAQ Does the XERO-PLAY V2 only work on a Sim-Lab wheelbase? No. It integrates natively with the DDS TorqueSync, but works on any wheelbase using a 70 mm PCD mount, connecting through the standalone USB-C connection. Data passthrough is optional, so the quick release remains fully usable even on bases that do not support it. Will it work with my existing wheel? Almost certainly. The Ø70 mm M5 bolt pattern fits virtually every sim racing wheel. Sim-Lab and GRID Engineering wheels connect natively through the internal 8-pin connector, and any third-party wheel with a USB connection uses the supplied USB-C stubby cable. Ascher, BavarianSimTec, GSI and VPG wheels have an internal connector cable available on request. Only proprietary non-USB protocols, such as the Fanatec hub and the Simucube wireless link, are out of scope. Which version should I order? The complete set includes both the base side and the wheel side, and is what you need to equip a wheelbase with a first wheel. The wheel side is sold on its own to add further wheels to an existing XERO-PLAY V2 setup, at a much lower cost per wheel. Why is the wheel-side module simpler than the base side? Deliberately so. The base side carries every connection, every session, for years, and that is where the precision engineering is concentrated. Keeping the wheel side lean means adding wheels to your collection stays affordable, without compromising the connection quality. Is there any play in the connection? No. The push-to-lock, lever-release mechanism follows the same quick release principles used in real motorsport, engineered for zero tolerance for play. It locks in with a positive click, with no alignment guesswork, and releases cleanly with a pull of the lever.
