compatibility
All the LEDs, buttons and encoders on the VRS R295 G2 Steering Wheel include industry-standard SimHub software compatibility, meaning you can customize your wheel, your way.
The VRS R295 G2 Steering Wheel also comes with an exclusive VRS sticker set for further personalization.
Works with any wheelbase
The R295 G2 adds a dedicated USB port on the back of the wheel, paired with a magnetic-latch cable. Snap the cable on, route it to your base, and the G2 runs far beyond VRS hardware, including direct-drive wheelbases from other manufacturers.
The magnetic connection clicks into place instantly and releases cleanly, so moving the wheel between rigs takes seconds, with no fragile connector to fumble.
VRS® Quick Release
The VRS R295 G2 Steering Wheel comes bundled with the NRG-compatible VRS-QR, a quick release design that’s been proven in real racing by its quality and cross-compatibility.
This is the second generation of the R295 — the R295 G2. It now adds an actual onboard USB port plus a magnetic USB cable, so you stay connected even when USB pass-through isn’t supported on third-party wheelbases.
The VRS-QR uses a 50mm bolt pattern. Wheelbases with a 70mm pattern require an adapter.
Tested in real racing
USB pass-through
Solid and durable construction
Alignment system for better QR reliability
Works with any wheelbase via onboard USB port
Magnetic USB cable connection
Works with any wheelbase
The VRS R295 G2 Steering Wheel works with any wheelbase. Its magnetic quick-release is cross-compatible with third-party bases, not just the VRS DirectForce Pro line — and it pairs perfectly with the next-generation 15nm VRS DFP15 Wheel Base.
Connecting your new steering wheel couldn’t be easier thanks to a clean magnetic connection and seamless software integration.
The VRS R295 G2 Steering Wheel requires a QR Connect (u)DFP20 Adapter for compatibility with the VRS (u)DFP20 Wheel Base. Learn more
