What it is like to live with
The Heusinkveld Sprint pedals deliver a surprisingly authentic braking experience for their compact size and price, making them an excellent step up from basic potentiometer-based pedal sets.
The Heusinkveld Sim Pedals Sprint is a precision-engineered pedal set built for sim racers who want professional-grade feel without the footprint or price of Heusinkveld's higher-end Ultimate line. Designed and manufactured in the Netherlands, the Sprint set brings genuine load-cell braking technology to a more compact and affordable package, making it a popular choice for enthusiasts upgrading from stock or entry-level pedals that rely on simple potentiometers and springs. The throttle and brake pedals use a combination of springs and, in the case of the brake, a load cell to simulate the progressive resistance of a real car's braking system, giving drivers the ability to modulate pressure with the same muscular feedback they would feel behind the wheel of an actual race car.
Construction quality is a hallmark of the Sprint set, with CNC-machined aluminum components, steel pedal arms, and a rigid baseplate that eliminates flex even under hard braking. Each pedal can be adjusted for height, angle, and resistance curve, allowing drivers to tailor the setup to their preferred driving position and discipline, whether that's GT racing, open-wheel, or rally. The pedal faces are wide and textured for secure footing, and the heel rest can be repositioned to accommodate heel-and-toe technique or left-foot braking styles. Cabling is routed cleanly through the baseplate, and the pedals connect via USB, registering natively as a game controller on Windows without the need for additional drivers in most racing titles.
Compatibility is broad, working seamlessly with iRacing, Assetto Corsa, rFactor 2, Automobilista, and other major sim racing titles, as well as integrating with popular aftermarket rigs and cockpits from brands across the sim racing and flight sim space. The compact footprint of the Sprint set makes it well suited to cockpits with limited pedal tray space, while still delivering the adjustability and durability that serious sim racers expect. For drivers seeking a meaningful upgrade in braking consistency and overall pedal feel, the Heusinkveld Sim Pedals Sprint offers a dependable, track-tested solution that bridges the gap between casual setups and full professional-grade sim racing hardware.
