DX2 Ultra Review: Half the Cost of Full Motion?
Quick summary· AI-generated
The DX2 Ultra is a 2DOF (pitch and roll) seat mover from Dynamic X that mounts between your cockpit and seat, moving only the driver rather than the entire rig. It features 120Nm peak torque per motor (40Nm continuous), ±10° motion range, and 15ms system latency. The reviewer found that once dialed in, the motion felt natural and transparent—exactly what good motion should do. At roughly half the cost of a full four-corner motion rig, it requires a SimHub license on PC and some installation patience, but targets sim racers who want motion feedback without a full rebuild or premium price tag.
Excerpt from Inside Sim Racing
“I’ve wanted to get a motion rig, but they are all way too expensive.” That comment on our video sums up where a lot of sim racers are. Dynamic X’s answer is the DX2 Ultra, a 2DOF seat mover that bolts in under your existing seat instead of moving your whole cockpit. In this DX2 Ultra review, Dave Adams puts it through installation, setup, tuning, and real driving to find out who it’s actually for.
The short version: once it was dialed in, Dave stopped noticing the motion was there, which is exactly what good motion should do. It’s about half the cost of a full four-corner motion rig. You’ll want to budget for a SimHub license on PC and some patience during installation. Watch the full review below, or read on for the breakdown.

DX2 Ultra Review: What It Is and the Specs
The DX2 Ultra started life as the DX Winner 2. Our review unit is an early production model, which is why it shipped in the old DX Winner 2 box. Dynamic X pitches it as a way to add motion without rebuilding your rig: it mounts between your cockpit and your seat and moves only you and the seat, not the entire cockpit.
It’s a 2DOF system, meaning it handles pitch and roll. Dynamic X describes the motors as having a quasi-direct drive response tune, built for fast, sharp cues rather than big, slow movements.

Specs from the Dynamic X DX2 Ultra product page(opens in new tab).
Dave’s first impression in hand was that the unit felt both heavier and lighter than he expected. The actuators move freely when it’s unpowered, which makes it more awkward to carry but easier to position than he thought it would be.
What’s in the Box
