Simagic Teases Long-Awaited Active Pedal for October 14 Reveal
Quick summary· AI-generated
Simagic is finally unveiling its Active Pedal after nearly two years of development, with the announcement set for October 14 at 'The Next Lap' event. The production version reportedly uses a belt-driven motor design (unlike Simucube's linear screw system) to reduce footprint, potentially offering an alternative positioned between Simucube's high-end ActivePedals and MOZA's more accessible mBooster. Compatibility with existing P1000/P2000 pedal platforms remains unconfirmed, and pricing is the biggest open question as the market has shifted since the 2024 prototype debut.
Excerpt from OC Racing
Simagic appears ready to finally launch its long-awaited Active Pedal. A new teaser from the company focuses directly on pedal control and confirms that its next global product launch will take place on October 14, 2026.
The presentation is called The Next Lap and will cover multiple upcoming Simagic products as the company looks toward 2027. The newest teaser makes it pretty clear that the Active Pedal will be one of the main announcements.

We Have Been Waiting Almost Two Years
This project has actually been around for quite a while. Simagic first publicly displayed an Active Pedal prototype at SimRacing Expo in 2024, putting an early version of the hardware behind glass while development continued.
Since then, the active pedal market has changed considerably. Simucube established the category at the high end, while Moza introduced the considerably more accessible mBooster in 2025. Simagic has continued developing its own answer in the background.
What Do We Know So Far?
Very little has officially been confirmed about the final hardware. Simagic has not yet published specifications, pricing, compatibility details, or even a complete breakdown of how the production version differs from the prototype.
The basic idea should be familiar, though. An active pedal uses a motorized system rather than relying entirely on conventional springs and elastomers, allowing pedal resistance, travel, feedback, and other characteristics to be altered through software. A major difference between the active pedals however is how the motor/screw is mounted. Where the Simucube Active Pedal mounts its servo and screw in a straight line, Simagic seems to be opting for a belt driven design, presumably to keep the footprint smaller.
That could make this a particularly interesting addition for existing P1000 and P2000 owners, although Simagic has not yet confirmed whether the new pedal will integrate with either platform.

The Timing Is Interesting
The reveal takes place only two days before SimRacing Expo Frankfurt, where Simagic will also have a major presence. That should make Frankfurt one of the first opportunities to see whatever is announced during the October 14 presentation in person.
For now, pricing is probably the biggest question. The mBooster has pushed active pedal technology into a much more attainable part of…
