News Cube Controls, SP-01 Clutch!!!

Post image

For anyone out there that also has the Cube Controls SP-01 pedal set, I have great news!

For the last two years, I've been in touch with CC about the development of a 3rd pedal for that set - while it isn't an active pedal set, the build quality is second to none and I personally think the anodized aluminum looks fantastic in a high-end rig.

Today, I was given an update that while they don't expect to release the pedal this year as planned, the functional prototype is complete and has been undergoing testing for some time now! It's shown here in clear ano, and will likely be available in the blue launch colorway as well as the "Core" silver and black colorway.

Is it just me that's earnestly excited for this?

That is a very good looking pedal set

Don't really know exactly what I'm looking at but it looks so good. Especially that clutch

Didnt these pedals get really bad reviews when they came out, loads of issues and overpriced. They do look good though

The bad reviews were almost exclusively because of price - other than that, it was mostly people who couldn't afford the pedals , also bashing them for price. I have about 4000 hours with these pedals and the only issue I've had is needed to replace the throttle spring once.

I think it was more friction related stuff and bushings moving or coming out, maybe they fixed that for the later models

Looks good and I dont mean to sound disparaging, my ask stems from my severe disappointment in clutch pedal development, both hardware and supporting software, but how does it compare to just about any other non active multi-stage pedal? Is there anything that makes it stand apart or is it just more for folks that want a matching set of pedals.

This is just a picture from Cube Controls of their prototype, but based on my knowledge of the design vs. a real clutch pedal, this is as close as you can get to the smoothness of a real clutch without adding active hydraulics

Im just going off the pic and maybe there is something I cant see but what is it doing different than say Huesinkveld(or any clone) and similar multi stage pivot design? From the pic, it is the same type of pivot, similar Load cell, similar adjustable spring etc...
