What Simrig does
SIMRIG AB is a Swedish industrial engineering company that designs and manufactures 3-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) motion simulator systems for the consumer sim-racing and flight-sim market. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Lindome, Sweden, the company builds its hardware, electronics, and the SIMRIG Control Center software in-house, using four linear actuators (one per rig corner) to deliver heave, pitch, and roll movement driven by telemetry extracted from racing simulators over USB/UDP. The product line consists of three SKUs—SR1 (€3,200), SR2 (€3,700), and SR3 (€4,150), all prices excluding VAT—differentiated by power output (500/750/1000W) and maximum load (175/225/250kg), supported by optional 20x20 profile and EasyBracket mounting kits.
The Control Center software supports automatic game detection and configuration across more than 70 racing and flight simulators (including Assetto Corsa, iRacing, the F1 and Forza series, Gran Turismo, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and DCS) and ships with VR motion compensation for SteamVR and OpenXR runtimes. SIMRIG markets direct-to-consumer via a multilingual e-commerce storefront (simrig.se, 8 languages) and a reseller network, shipping from Sweden via UPS/DHL Express to at least 13 countries in Europe, the United States, and Australia. The company is privately held, founder-owned, and bootstrapped, with no disclosed external funding and a headcount of 1–10 employees as of the most recent inputs.
In summer 2025 SIMRIG opened an expanded production facility to support higher manufacturing volumes and long-term product development, and the company routinely participates in industry events such as the ADAC SimRacing Expo and Bilsportgalan alongside third-party reviewer coverage (Sim Racing Garage, RON Reviewt). Console (PlayStation 5 / Xbox) support was added in November 2022, contingent on a local-network PC bridge, extending addressable demand beyond pure PC sim racers. Pricing, distribution, and product strategy position SIMRIG in the mid-market for motion platforms—below the premium professional-trainer tier—targeting enthusiast hobbyists and competitive sim racers seeking tangible motion feedback rather than commercial or training customers.

Simrig product offering
Product offeringCore offering
SIMRIG designs and manufactures 3-DOF (three-degree-of-freedom) motion simulator systems—the SR1, SR2, and SR3—that attach to aluminium extrusion sim racing rigs to deliver heave, pitch, and roll motion. Each system uses four linear actuators positioned in the rig corners, connects to PC via USB, and is managed by the included SIMRIG Control Center software, which extracts telemetry from 70+ supported racing and flight simulators and converts it into real-time motion commands. Complementary mounting kits (20x20 profiles or EasyBrackets) are sold with the hardware.
Product overview
SIMRIG offers a portfolio of three 3-DOF (three-degree-of-freedom) motion systems—SR1, SR2, and SR3—that provide heave, pitch, and roll motion for sim racing and flight simulation rigs. All three models share the same core technology and software platform (SIMRIG Control Center) but differ in power capacity (500W/750W/1000W) and maximum load (175kg/225kg/250kg) to serve different user segments. The systems attach to aluminium extrusion rigs using either 20x20 profile rails or EasyBrackets. The included SIMRIG Control Center software extracts telemetry from over 70 supported games (including Assetto Corsa, iRacing, F1 series, and flight simulators) and converts it to motion, with optional VR motion cancellation for SteamVR and OpenXR headsets.
