Exploring Simforge: India's Homegrown Sim Racing Brand

India may not be the first country that comes to mind when you think of sim racing hardware—but Simforge, based in India since 2019, is on a mission to change that. Here's why the global sim-racing world is taking note.

Who is Simforge?

• Founded in 2019, Simforge stands as India’s first and only manufacturer of bespoke sim racing pedals, cockpits, and accessories
  

• Their flagship product, the Simforge Mark‑1 pedals, feature load-cell sensors with adjustable force, travel, and position, all housed in rugged, all-metal construction .

• In 2022, Simforge’s resilience earned them the Covid Resilience Award from the Global Youth Entrepreneurship Summit a testament to their innovation and grit.

Key Features That Impress

• Load-cell brake with up to 80 kg preload and customizable elastomer springs

• Precision control with Hall-effect sensors and 24-bit resolution for brake inputs

• Adjustable pedal geometry with tilt, height, and inversion options for personalized comfort

• Heavy‑duty industrial engineering, including 3 mm carbon‑steel frames and brass bushings for reliability

 How India’s Sim Racing Scene is Growing

Simforge isn’t alone—brands like INRacing produce foldable sim rigs (~₹39,500–₹69,000) with mod-friendly designs
Meanwhile, community buzz highlights a growing preference for Indian builds:

“I have been using Simforge Mark 1 … Only the first one [comes with warranty] … Then you have an easy choice.”

Although Indian options win praise for value and support, caveats remain—users note inflexibility with bolt-on upgrades like Direct Drive wheels and concern over limited warranty options from global brands like Thrustmaster 

Final Take

Simforge is a game-changer—offering locally manufactured, thoughtfully engineered gear tailored for sim racers who want quality without sky-high import costs. Their award-winning pedigree, precision performance, and customizable designs make them a standout in India’s blossoming sim scene.
