Simucube, a Granite Devices professional sim racing brand, has just released ActivePedal Pro. For more information, and comparison to the 2022 released ActivePedal Ultimate, head to simucube.com/ap.
Simucube branch of Granite Devices just revealed their biggest new product to date. ActivePedal – a true force feedback pedal for sim racing. It’s the world’s first pedal fully adjustable down to physical detail level by few mouse clicks on graphical editor.
With ActivePedal software racer may customize brake pressure up to 150kg, pedal travel distance, brake air gap, ABS, traction control, and more.
As the pedal force is based on electric motor control, there is no rubbers, no liquids, no springs, no hydraulic cylinders and no degrading parts to service and replace.
Racer may utilize simulator telemetry data and true force feedback in pedals. This enables racer to harness more of their “muscle memory” to improve their track performance.
“The Simucube ActivePedal changes the whole braking game in sim racing. So far it is the first and only pedal which can give you the feedback you want from the game and it also gives you the possibility to customize it easily and quickly. There hasn’t been anything like this before.” – Ossi Oikarinen, F1 Engineer

Granite Devices assigns new board members of the company. New chairman is Harri Mäkitie, and board members are Sami Somero and Tero Kontkanen.
Voimakasta kasvua tekevä digitaalisen autourheilun simulaattorilaitteistojen ja sähkömoottoreiden ohjausratkaisuja kehittävä Granite Devices Oy on nimittänyt hallitukseensa Harri Mäkitien, Sami Someron sekä Tero Kontkasen. Muutoksen taustana on tarve hankkia osaamista tukemaan vientiyrityksen räjähdysmäistä kasvua.
Granite Devices on laajentanut elektroniikkasuunnittelusta ja moottoriohjausteknologian kehittämisestä vakavien harrastajien sekä ammattiurheilijoiden autosimulaattorilaitteistoihin. Elektroninen urheilu on vahvasti nouseva markkina-alue ja yksi tulevaisuuden megatrendeistä, jonka parissa Granite Devices on ollut yhtenä tulevaisuuden mahdollistajista.
Simucube-brändin alla kulkeva kasvava ekosysteemi on saanut erinomaisen vastaanoton ammattimaisten kilpa-ajajien keskuudessa ja vakiinnuttamassa positiotaan markkinoiden parhaana laitteistona.
Moni autourheilun ammattikuljettaja käyttää Simucube-tuotteita tuloksellisena harjoitteluvaihtoehtona oikeille ratakilometreille. Useampi F1-, NASCAR-, Indie 2000- ja WRC-talli käyttää Simucube-laitteita päivittäisessä toiminnassaan. Simucube on virallinen laitetoimittaja Mercedes AMG F1 Simulaattoritiimille ja tekee aktiivista yhteistyötä usean kansainvälisen toimijan kanssa.
”Liikevaihtomme on kasvanut vuodesta 2019 2,5 miljoonasta eurosta, 2020 noin 6 miljoonaan ja ennuste vuodelle 2021 on yli 15 miljoonaa. Digitaalinen urheilu ja sen myötä digitaalinen autourheilu kasvaa maailmalla räjähdysmäisesti, käyttäjille ei riitä enää perinteiset peliohjaimet vaan hakevat mahdollisimman realistista kokemusta autosimulaattorien saralla” – Hannu Harju, CEO
Harri on kokenut hallitusammattilainen ja liikkeenjohdon konsultti, tuo hallitukseen pitkän linjan kokemusta kannattavasta kasvusta ja yritystoiminnan skaalaamisesta.
“Näen Granite Devicesin lähitulevaisuudessa vahvaa kehittymistä kansainvälisesti entistäkin tunnustetummaksi alan osaajaksi. Asiakasyritysten joukossa erottuu jo tänään kansainvälisesti näkyviä brändejä, joiden kiinnostus yhteistyöhön on vahva luottamuksen osoitus Granite Devicesin kyvystä alan kehittäjänä. Lukuisia kasvuyrityksiä työssäni läheltä seuranneena luotan, että yhdessä osaavan tiimin kanssa luomme vahvaa näyttöä suomalaisesta osaamisesta ja kasvusta kansainvälisesti näkyväksi toimijaksi”
”Olen innoissani lähdössä mukaan yhtiöön, joka on lyhyessä ajassa pystynyt kasvamaan oman alueensa kansainväliselle huipulle. Näen yhtiöllä loistavat mahdollisuudet vahvistaa edelleen asemaansa ja löytää uusia kasvualueita nykyisen liiketoiminnan ympäriltä. Olen toiminut useiden kasvuyritysten hallituksissa ja nähnyt eri kasvuvaiheiden mahdollisuudet ja haasteet. Granite Devices kasvaa ja kehittyy poikkeuksellisen nopealla vauhdilla, ja käy läpi kasvuyrityksen vaiheet pikakelauksella. Hallituksena haluamme osaltamme olla mahdollistamassa tämän hienon kehityksen jatkumista.” - Sami Somero, hallituksen jäsen
Tero Kontkanen, Granite Devices Oy:n perustajajäsen, aloitti matkansa yrittäjänä teekkarivuotenaan 2007. Jo opiskeluaikoinaan hän näki modernin sähkömoottoriteknologian rajattoman, mutta vain osittain hyödynnetyn potentiaalin. Kontkanen lähti soveltamaan teknologiaa ensin omissa vaativissa projekteissa, ja myöhemmin Granite Devicesin kautta monissa tinkimätöntä suorituskykyä vaativissa kaupallisissa moottorinohjaussovelluksissa. Hallituksessa Kontkanen jatkaa yhtiön elämänmyönteisen mission, ja lennokkaiden visioden toteuttamista.
