Quick summary· AI-generated
The article introduces SIMRIG, a Swedish company focused on affordable motion systems, and reviews their flagship SR3 model — a 3-DOF (heave, pitch, roll) platform priced around €5,000 EUR. The piece covers the unboxing, packaging, and design philosophy emphasizing in-house assembly and 3D printing for cost reduction.

Excerpt from SimRaceBlog
Throughout the years, we at SimRaceBlog have had the opportunity to test an enormous range of products. Wheelbases, steering wheels, pedal sets, sim rigs, handbrakes, shifters, and so on. However, there is one product category that has not yet been featured on our blog; motion systems. Many simracers see motion systems as the true ‘end game’ upgrade for their sim rig, not only because of the extra dimension they provide, but also because of the average price tag that comes with such a system. Although a full motion system can still not be considered cheap at its core, the market has also evolved in this area, and more choices and initiatives have emerged here as well. This is where SIMRIG comes into play.
SIMRIG is a relatively small but interesting player in the world of simracing hardware. The Swedish company was founded in 2018 with one clear goal: to make motion systems accessible to a wider audience. Where many motion platforms focus on the high-end segment with corresponding price tags, SIMRIG deliberately takes a different route. The brand develops and builds affordable 3-DOF motion systems, (3-DOF meaning three dimensions of freedom; heave, pitch and roll), which are fully designed and assembled in-house and controlled through its own software. Many components are produced using 3D printing, allowing for greater flexibility and lower production costs. This ties in with their philosophy of “maximum immersion at minimal cost”.
We were approached by SIMRIG and asked to test the SIMRIG SR3 motion system. Aside from the fact that we are usually quick to say yes to interesting and unique simracing products, this was also a great opportunity for us to upgrade one of our sim rigs with true ‘end game’ hardware. Our answer to this was therefore not surprising at all.
The SIMRIG SR3 motion system is the most heavy duty of three variants offered by SIMRIG, and comes with a price tag of €4,150.00 excluding VAT. Including VAT, the price of this system comes to around €5,000.00. The SIMRIG motion systems are available through their own website.
Packaging & Contents
We received the SIMRIG SR3 Motion System from Sweden, and it was delivered to us within just a few days. We received a rectangular product box with SIMRIG branding, which also served as the shipping box. Measuring 77x60x22 centimeters, it is by no means a small box.
When opening the product box, we first find a black layer of foam with the user manual and a SIMRIG sticker on top. After removing…
