Thrustmaster has unveiled a new pedal set dubbed Raceline LTE, the first pedals of the French manufacturer to feature proper adjustability - and upgradeability.
Expected to succeed the T3PM and T-LCM pedal products, Thrustmaster have freshly unveiled a new range of pedal sets, starting with the Raceline LTE set. As the name implies, it is a lite version of things to come, so the pedals will be upgradeable - and available in a higher spec later on, too.
The introductory LTE product consists of two pedals featuring Thrusmaster's magnetic H.E.A.R.T. sensors - so no load cell yet, but this also means that worn-out potentiometers will not be a thing on the set. Later on down the line, an optional Upgrade Kit will become available for the LTE, which includes a larger base plate, metal pedal face and load cell brake.
At a later date, the 'Raceline Pedals III' three-pedal bundle will become available incuding a clutch. For those who want to take another step up, the 'Raceline Pedals III LC' will be the one to go for as it will feature a load cell brake.
Whilst commonplace with a lot of high end sim racing hardware, this is the first time Thrustmaster have delved into modular pedals as opposed to pre-mounted. Their current flagship pedal set, the T-LCM, does have a load cell brake and metal pedal plates and arms, but lacks the capabilities for freely mounting the pedals themselves.
The Raceline pedals are just the first in a number of Thrustmaster sim racing products that they claim are the new generation of sim racing technology. More should be unveiled soon Thrustmaster's website - of course, we will also keep an eye on it.

Thrustmaster Raceline Adjustability
The Raceline range will be fully adjustable, with it being possible to change pedal spacing, raise the pedal heads and to adjust brake force using three notches behind each pedal and the two brake springs provided. There are also non-slip pads for different floor surface types.Whilst commonplace with a lot of high end sim racing hardware, this is the first time Thrustmaster have delved into modular pedals as opposed to pre-mounted.
