Heusinkveld Sprint Sim Pedals

Heusinkveld Sprint Pedals – Precision Load Cell Sim Racing Pedals

The Heusinkveld Sprint Pedals are designed for sim racers looking to improve braking consistency, throttle control and overall driving precision. Developed by Heusinkveld Engineering in the Netherlands, the Sprint range combines load cell technology, adjustable pedal mechanics and powerful SmartControl software in a compact, durable design.

Suitable for serious home sim racing and competitive esports, the Sprint pedals provide extensive adjustment without requiring a professional-grade simulator installation.

Whether you’re competing in iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Le Mans Ultimate or other PC racing simulators, the Sprint pedals allow you to tailor pedal response to your driving style.

Key Features

• 120kg brake load cell – Measures up to 65kg of actual force at the brake pedal plate.
• Dual-stage brake mechanism – Combines an initial coil spring with progressive rubber elastomers.
• Six brake resistance settings – Adjust pedal stiffness to suit your preferred braking feel.
• Load cell sensors on all pedals – Force measurement for the brake and position measurement for the throttle and clutch.
• SmartControl software – Customise brake force, deadzones and pedal output curves.
• Adjustable pedal geometry – Configure pedal height, angle, travel and resistance where supported.
• Laser-cut steel construction – Durable, rigid components with precision-engineered bearings and pivot points.
• Flexible configurations – Choose two pedals, three pedals or an individual pedal option.
• Direct USB connection – Connect independently to a Windows PC without requiring a matching wheelbase.

Heusinkveld Sprint Load Cell Brake – Up to 65kg Braking Force

The Sprint brake pedal uses a 120kg load cell sensor to measure up to 65kg of actual force applied at the pedal plate.

Unlike conventional pedals that rely primarily on pedal travel, the Sprint brake measures the pressure applied by the driver. This allows braking inputs to be developed through muscle memory, helping improve consistency under braking.

The brake features a dual-stage mechanism:

• An initial coil spring simulates the small movement between the brake pad and disc.
• Progressive rubber elastomers provide increasing resistance as braking force rises.

With six available brake resistance settings, drivers can configure a softer brake response or a firmer pedal that requires greater physical effort.

Maximum braking force can also be adjusted through Heusinkveld SmartControl software, making the Sprint suitable for different driving preferences and cockpit configurations.

Adjustable Sprint Throttle Pedal

The Heusinkveld Sprint throttle uses a position-sensitive load cell to measure pedal movement accurately.

Its mechanical adjustments allow drivers to configure the throttle for different racing disciplines and personal preferences.

Features include:

• Five pedal travel settings
• Adjustable spring preload
• Adjustable pedal resistance
• Configurable pedal angle and height
• Custom throttle response curves through SmartControl

A more progressive throttle response can help drivers control acceleration when exiting corners, particularly in powerful rear-wheel-drive racing cars.

Optional Sprint Clutch Pedal

The Heusinkveld Sprint clutch uses a regressive spring mechanism designed to reproduce the changing resistance felt when operating a mechanical clutch.

Rather than providing uniform resistance throughout its travel, the clutch uses a non-linear force characteristic to create a more distinctive engagement feel.

Features include:

• Three mechanical force curve settings
• Adjustable spring preload
• Adjustable pedal resistance
• Adjustable pedal angle and height
• Position-sensitive load cell measurement

The clutch is particularly useful for drivers competing in historic racing, touring cars, rally, drifting and manual-transmission road-car simulation.

Heusinkveld Sprint 2-Pedal vs 3-Pedal Set

The Sprint range is available in different configurations, allowing drivers to choose the pedals they need.

Which Configuration Should You Choose?

The Heusinkveld Sprint 2-Pedal Set is a practical choice for drivers who mainly race Formula, GT3 and prototype cars using paddle-shift transmissions.

The Heusinkveld Sprint 3-Pedal Set adds a clutch for drivers who also race manual-transmission cars or want a more versatile simulator.

An individual Sprint clutch can be added to an existing compatible two-pedal Sprint setup.

Select your preferred option from the Pedal Options dropdown to view the current price and availability.

Heusinkveld SmartControl Software

All Heusinkveld Sprint pedal sets support SmartControl, Heusinkveld’s configuration software for Windows PCs.

SmartControl allows you to adjust how the pedals respond without making mechanical changes for every setting.

SmartControl Features

Custom Pedal Response Curves

Configure linear or non-linear throttle, brake and clutch output curves to suit different racing cars and driving styles.

Adjustable Brake Force

Set the maximum braking force required to achieve full brake input in the simulator.

Pedal Deadzones

Configure minimum and maximum pedal deadzones to prevent unwanted inputs and adjust pedal activation.

Saved Profiles

Create and save different pedal configurations for individual racing disciplines, vehicles or personal preferences.

SmartControl Live

Compatible SmartControl Live functionality provides convenient access to supported settings and profiles while using the simulator.

SmartControl adjustments can be made without recalibrating the pedals each time, making it easier to switch between different racing configurations.

Heusinkveld Sprint vs Ultimate+ Pedals

The Sprint and Ultimate+ ranges both use load cell technology, but they are designed for different levels of braking force and simulation requirements.

Which Heusinkveld Pedals Are Right for You?

The Heusinkveld Sprint Pedals are well suited to drivers who want precise load cell braking, extensive adjustability and high-quality construction without requiring the much higher braking forces available from the Ultimate+.

The Heusinkveld Ultimate+ Pedals are designed for drivers seeking substantially higher brake forces and additional hydraulic damping.

For most dedicated home sim racing installations, the Sprint provides an excellent combination of braking performance, adjustment and usability.

Mounting Heusinkveld Sprint Pedals

The Sprint pedals are designed for installation on a rigid simulator cockpit or pedal mounting platform.

Because the brake can withstand up to 65kg of actual pedal force, a secure mounting arrangement is essential for consistent braking performance.

Suitable mounting options include:

• Rigid aluminium-profile simulator cockpits
• Reinforced steel pedal mounting plates
• Compatible rigid cockpit pedal decks
• The optional Heusinkveld Sprint Baseplate

The pedals should not be used unsupported on the floor or with a wheel stand that lacks a rigid connection between the pedals and the seat.

Do You Need the Heusinkveld Sprint Baseplate?

The optional Sprint Baseplate provides a dedicated mounting platform and is particularly useful where additional pedal positioning flexibility is required.

If your simulator already has a sufficiently rigid and compatible pedal mounting plate, a separate baseplate may not be necessary.

PC and Sim Racing Hardware Compatibility

The Heusinkveld Sprint pedals connect directly to a Windows PC using the supplied USB connection.

Because they operate independently of the steering wheelbase, they can be combined with compatible sim racing hardware from other manufacturers.

The Sprint pedals support Windows 10 and newer operating systems and can be used with PC racing simulators that accept standard USB pedal inputs.

They do not offer native PlayStation or Xbox compatibility.
