WheelThe PXN-V9 racing wheel supports multiple gaming consoles and PC. Right out of the box we have a full-size racing wheel built sporting a metal finish. The rest of the body is made from plastic, lightweight, and well-constructed. The base of the wheel has replaceable suction pads that allow temporary fixing to a stable surface. Two plastic clamps are provided, they slot into the base of the wheel, allowing a stable fixing.

The Gear shifter that comes with the V9 wheel is surprisingly well made and comes with a clamp mount. Constructed from plastic, the shifter supports 6 gears and there is a high/low gear for gears 7-12. A parking switch is also mounted on the top.


Both pedals and shifter connect to the wheel with their respective data cables. An additional USB extender cable is provided to allow easy plugging in of console controllers that are used to authenticate/proxy input from the wheel.


After doing some cable management and clamping the wheel in place, I was happy that I still had some room on my desk. I have a relatively cramped desk right now and the easy clamps make setup and removal quick and easy.


After having some time with my PC, I wanted to go back and play some titles on my Switch. The charm of Mario Kart GP DX in the arcade is something I had been wanting to replicate at home. I first tried the wheel in docked mode.


I have not played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch for a while but it was great to revisit the game with fresh controls. After adjusting to using a wheel and pedals for fast-paced turns, drifting and shell hurling, I found myself greatly satisfied with the Mario Kart Arcade experience at home. I also played through some Burnout Paradise and Crash Team Racing without issue.


The world of sim racing is deep and the PXN V9 is referred to as the ideal entry level wheel for those who want to get a glimpse of racing at home. For me however, the PXN V9 Wheel stands out as an outstanding value accessory for console racing games and general arcade racers.


Aside from working with multiple systems, the mobile app is the perfect companion to save/load configurations on demand. This is something I highly value when playing through various titles on my consoles and PC. I would love it if there was a desktop version of V9 Tools. Perhaps in the future PXN will allow users to upload and categorise their configurations to share. The existing configurations within the app are limited and having the ability to search and download from a collection of users around the world would be a great feature.


Our team spent a lot of time during the development of The Crew Motorfest working on this specific integration to make the game not only compatible but also optimized for as many configurations as possible.


To answer your questions we've put together all the information you need to know about steering wheels and their integration in the game at the same place. If you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact us on our official social media channels or join the discussion on Reddit or Discord!


Dynamic Wheel Range: your vehicle wheel range will be applied automatically to your steering wheel for a 1:1 racing experience. An option is available to switch to a static wheel range.


Steering wheel compatibility is an important topic for the community. For the development of The Crew Motorfest, we have made a specific point of working on this compatibility, in order to offer the best possible driving experience whatever your setup, at launch.


Steering wheel support has been a specific part of our quality control teams' test plans throughout the game's development. We've also benefited from the support of over many partners who have provided us with numerous peripherals and support to help us in the fine-tuning phases to make their hardware compatible and best integrated into the game experience.


Hence, players can use configuration presets but also modify the button mapping; the sensibility of vibrations and triggers; the Linearity, Dead Zone and Highest values of your Wheels and accessories.


He never answered I wonder if Devotid was telling the truth about it working with all wheels. I find it hard to believe that Logitech would write software that can be used by purchasers of their competitors products. I say this because the SDK is not recognizing my Driving Force Pro which is the wheel released right before the G-Series. Also it states on the asset store that is for G-Series products only. I hope I am wrong though, otherwise I will be forced to learn and write my own DirectInput wrapper.


@devotid is a long time racing wheel issue chaser. The benefit on having games on steam to chase customer issues with a variety of racing wheels. It is even more exiting on racing wheels you do not have personal access to. I would definitely trust his judgement based on real world experience with trying to find solutions in that space.


The Logitech SDK at least the C++ versions were usually very specific on what products they supported. Many of those issues are also tied to a specific Microsoft Visual Studio version. So if the that version of visual studio is not supported anymore that is also a factor to think about.


Alternatively, if you only need constant FFB forces (no road effects etc), you can look up FFConst.cpp from Microsofts DirectX Samples and wrap it to Unity (or tweak this one that already did it: Force feedback for Windows )


We have been using the 1st case, some users could use other steering wheels like Thrustmaster perfectly fine while some had only damper force in an incorrect way, I think it makes sense that some of them may have G-Hub installed so those work perfectly fine.


Please note that some models do not have specific manuals. However, each bike comes with a general user manual containing comprehensive information. For copyright reasons, this manual is not available as a PDF file. If required, please contact your BMC dealer to obtain the user manual if it is not included with your bike.


The serial number (also known as frame number) can be found in front of or below the bottom bracket. On model year 2014 bicycles or newer, it is printed at the bottom of the QR code.

On E-Bikes (AMP) you find the serial number in a different place, for example underneath the battery.


Our engineers and product managers work closely with partners to ensure that each of our full-suspension models is perfectly tuned. That's why our fullys are designed as a complete system and every element plays an important role in ride quality. For our bikes to perform as intended, we do not recommend replacing the shock. A small custom tune is a rider-specific option, but we strongly recommend working with qualified, professional suspension technicians.


In principle it is possible, but it is important to note that the steering angle can change and this can affect the handling. In general, our bikes are tuned to the installed suspension travel, and the measurements on the test bench are also carried out in exactly this standard setup. Logically, the measurement results obtained in this way do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about other installation dimensions.


The Alpenchallenge AC02 easily accommodates various available models in the market. For the best fit, it's recommended to seek advice from your BMC retailer.



Although the Alpenchallenge 01 frame wasn't specifically designed for a carrier, it's still feasible. We suggest considering the Tubus Fly Classic model. Besides the assembly process, you'll also require the BMC fender mount, identified by article number 216'673. Your BMC retailer will gladly assist you in purchasing and installing the carrier.


You can purchase your spare parts online or via your local BMC retailer. BMC retailers have access to BMC-specific spare parts as well as various other aftermarket parts, and can work with you in choosing the correct replacement option that best suits both you and your bike.



Please use the Shop Finder to find the BMC Retailer nearest to you.


Bicycle frames made out of carbon fibres are high performance frames. The tube dimensions, wall thickness and orientation of the fibres are specially designed to withstand the stresses that can occur during its intended use and guarantee high comfort and stiffness to give you the best ride possible.


Whilst BMC frames are designed to exceed EN safety requirements, the frames are not designed to withstand all foreseen forces. They are not designed to survive all collisions or crashes undamaged and can be delicate for punctual pressures.


Trainers that clamp on the frame are not considered suitable and can damage the frame.

The use of this type of trainer voids the warranty coverage.

The product liability of the trainer and its fixation to the bike is with the trainer manufacturer.


If using soft travel cases or bike boxes to transport your bike, please ensure the frame is well protected (using soft foam wrap) to ensure no components or external pressures can puncture or damage the frame. Please note that the BMC warranty does not cover any transport damage.
