Buy it once. Never outgrow it.
The X is the chassis we build our highest-end simulators on: a 160×40 aluminium base, maximum rigidity and room for anything you'll ever bolt to it. Including motion.
THE BASE
A 160×40 base with nothing left to stiffen
The X is built on a 160×40 profile base with reinforced wheel and pedal mounts. Whatever you bolt to it - a 25 Nm Direct Drive base, active pedals or a motion system - stays exactly where you put it.
The profiles are high-quality German aluminium, not cheap Chinese profiles - and they are powder coated rather than anodised, so the finish is tougher, more even and lasts longer.
PEDALS
A pedal deck that nothing can flex
Instead of a plain flat plate, the X mounts your pedals on a profile pedal deck. It is built to hold every pedal set on the market - including the strongest Load Cell and active pedals - at exactly the position and angle you want.
Want your pedals to slide? Add the Sliding Pedal Plate - it is the exact combo we use in our own simulators.
ROOM TO GROW
Add anything. The X can take it.
Button boxes, a keyboard tray, a shifter, a handbrake, bass shakers, wind simulators - bolt on as much as you want, the frame doesn't care. And the biggest one of all: a full motion system. The X is built to handle it.
The tall 160×40 profiles also help with cable routing, and make it easier to fit large power supplies under the seat and pedals.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT
Easy to build, easy to make yours
No fiddly corner brackets - assembly is quick and obvious, and the result looks clean and stays rigid. Wheel, pedals and seat all adjust over a wide range, so you set your exact driving position. Adjustable feet and the Shifter Arm come in the box - so the X stands level and is ready for accessories from day one.
Compatibility
Check that your gear fits
The standard wheel plate fits almost every wheelbase on the market. The Front Mount is made to match your base's bolt pattern - that's why it comes in versions, and the table shows exactly which one your base needs.

X OR R1?
Not sure which frame is for you?
Both are serious Helente aluminium frames, made by us. The only question is how far you plan to go.
Do you actually need the X? The honest answer.
If your budget is tight and motion is never in the plan, the R1 will serve you well. It's a solid frame and we're proud of it. But if you want to buy your frame once and never think about it again - the X is that frame: the strongest we make, with room for every upgrade you'll ever want. Bigger gear, more accessories, a full motion system. Nobody outgrows an X.

Why Helente
The same frames we build our highest-end simulators on
The X isn't a cheap frame from someone else's factory. We designed it ourselves from high-quality profiles - the same engineering and craft as the simulators we build for serious drivers.
We make it ourselves
Every frame is designed and made by Helente - not rebranded from someone else's catalogue.
Built for training
The same engineering as the simulators racers train on - from CORE to HXR.
Real people behind you
Free help from real sim racers - by chat, email or phone. Just message us.
We're real sim racers, not just another factory.
Helente started in 2023 and today builds aluminium frames and complete simulators - designed, assembled and tested by our own team.
Build your full setup
Finish your X
Feet, keyboard holders, PC and cable holders, speaker mounts, seats - all designed to fit the X perfectly. Add them in one step when you put the X in your cart, or add them any time later.

FAQ
Before you buy
What seat can I use?
Any seat works, but how you mount it depends on the type. A bucket seat needs steel seat mounts (two plates that hold the seat to the frame), and most people add seat sliders so they can move it back and forth. A real car seat usually already has rails built in, so you just bolt them to the frame - quick and simple.
Can I add a motion system to the X?
Yes - the X is built for it. The tall 160×40 base gives motion systems the rigidity they need, and you can still route cables neatly through the frame even with the extra hardware. Add motion when you buy, or years later - the rig doesn't change.
How do sliding pedals work on the X?
The pedal deck itself is adjustable, you just loosen and retighten the bolts. If you want the pedals to slide freely (handy when changing wheels or sharing the rig), add the Sliding Pedal Plate - it bolts onto the existing pedal deck and lets your pedals slide.
What if I need help getting started?
You're never on your own. We're sim racers ourselves, and our team is with you the whole way. Message us any time - we'll help you assemble it, dial in your settings or choose the right gear, and we'll even share the tips we use when building our own highest-end simulators.
What's the warranty?
Two years as standard, but you'll probably never need it. The X is aluminium profiles and steel plates: no moving parts, no electronics, nothing to wear out or break. Assembled properly and used normally, a frame like this lasts a lifetime. The warranty is just peace of mind. What actually matters is that we're sim racers and we stand behind what we make - if anything ever happens, we'll sort it out.
