Cube Controls GT Pro V2 review: a carbon GT wheel for any DD base

Image: Cube Controls.

The Cube Controls GT Pro V2 wraps a 320 mm round GT rim in a full carbon-fiber front plate bolted to a die-cast aluminum body, for ~$899. The shift paddles are magnetic and switchless, riding on ball bearings with adjustable stops, so there’s no microswitch to wear out and the click stays crisp. It mounts on a standard 70 mm-PCD formula quick-release, so it drops onto almost any direct-drive base.

Type	GT-style round wheel; mounts on a formula quick-release (no fixed hub)
Rim	320 mm round GT rim, ~36 mm grip; carbon front plate over die-cast aluminum, grip in suede (Reparto Corse), leather, or rubber (compact "Zero" variant is 298 mm with a ~41 mm grip)
Inputs	~10 programmable: 6 buttons, 2 front rotaries with RGB rings, 2 thumb encoders, 2 funky switches; magnetic switchless shift paddles (2 or 4) plus a dual-clutch launch-control system
Display	None. RGB rev/telemetry LED strip plus backlit buttons
Connectivity	Bluetooth or wired USB (Q-CONN); 70 mm-PCD formula QR fits Simucube, Asetek, Simagic, VRS directly, Fanatec/Thrustmaster/Logitech via adapter
Price	~$899 (configuration and grip dependent)
Best for	GT and endurance racers who want a build-quality-first round wheel that runs on any DD base, no screen needed

Who it’s for

A premium round wheel for GT and endurance racers who put build quality and cross-base flexibility first.

Buy it if:

• You run GT3, GTE, or touring cars and want a round rim with a real carbon front plate and a metal body.
• You don’t want to be locked to one ecosystem. The 70 mm-PCD QR fits Simucube, Asetek, Simagic, and VRS, and Fanatec with an adapter.
• You shift hard and want magnetic switchless paddles that stay crisp over thousands of laps.

Not the one if you need an on-wheel display (the Fanatec ClubSport GT V2 bundles one for less) or you race open-wheel (the formula-rim Cube Controls CSX-3 is the sibling).

Build and feel

Carbon over aluminum. A full carbon-fiber front plate sits over a die-cast aluminum main body, which is where the ~$899 goes. Grip comes in suede (Reparto Corse), perforated or smooth leather, or rubber, depending on trim. The round rim is 320 mm with a ~36 mm grip; the compact “Zero” variant drops to 298 mm with a chunkier ~41 mm grip.

Magnetic paddles. The shift paddles are switchless and magnetic, pivoting on ball bearings with adjustable stops. There’s no microswitch to bounce or wear, so the actuation force stays consistent lap after lap. You pick 2 or 4 paddles at order, and the dual-clutch setup runs the rear pair with stiffer clutch-lever springs.

Inputs and clutch. Roughly 10 programmable inputs depending on config: 6 momentary buttons, 2 front rotary encoders with RGB LED rings, 2 thumb encoders, and 2 multi-directional funky switches with integrated encoders. The dual-clutch launch control sets its bite point in software, so you hold both levers, release to the bite, then drop the second lever off the line.

Watch-outs

• No dashboard display. You get an RGB rev/telemetry LED strip and backlit buttons, but no screen, at a price where cheaper GT wheels include one. Plan to read revs off the LEDs or an external dash.
• Config-dependent layout. Input count and even paddle and clutch count change with the trim you order (Sport, Cube, Zero, Reparto Corse). Spec the grip and paddle count deliberately, because changing them later means buying parts.
• The quick-release may cost extra. Cube sells the wheel with a choice of hub, but a compatible QR for your base can be a separate line item. Budget for it if your base doesn’t already use a 70 mm-PCD formula QR.

Alternatives to consider

• Fanatec ClubSport GT V2: ~$515 and includes an OLED display, the pick if you want a screen and live in Fanatec’s ecosystem.
• Simagic GT Neo: ~$289 round GT wheel if you want the GT shape at a third of the price and don’t need carbon.
• Cube Controls CSX-3: ~$1229 formula sibling with a built-in display, the step up for open-wheel cars.
• Ascher Racing F28-SC V2: ~$779 for the same base-agnostic, build-first approach in a formula rim.

Before you order, confirm your base’s quick-release on the wheel rims and quick-release page so you spec the matching hub and skip paying for an adapter you don’t need.
