Got the Sprints, finds they work great and rates Heusinkveld support as the best customer support they have seen.

positive

Has had Sprints for three years without a single issue and highly recommends them.

positive

Praises the Sprint brake as insane and highly tunable, and its load cell throttle transformed throttle feel in high-downforce cars without traction control.

positivegreat brake feel

Moved to Sprints from T-LCMs after finding it hard to trail brake and apply consistent force; the T-LCMs feel like toys by comparison.

positivegreat brake feel

Graduated from V3s to Sprints and calls them light years better, though they are stiff enough that the owner started wearing shoes.

positivegood software

Upgraded from Sprints to Ultimates+ and says they feel almost identical, which shows how great the Sprints are.

positive

After lots of time on Sprints, never got along with the elastomer brake kits and got knee pain, so swapped in a VRS spring and recommends it.

mixed

Calls their three-pedal Sprints a great set whose only complaint is a clutch that has squeaked since new.

positivenoisy

Went from G29 pedals with TrueBrake to Sprints and finds it easier to modulate and trail brake, with all three pedals solid, quieter and distinct.

positivegreat brake feel

Replaced a G920 with TrueBrake pedals with Sprints and says they are really good, though the wheelbase upgrade was more noticeable.

positive

After many pedals, now on Sprints; the Ultimate pedals only felt marginally better, so Sprints feel about 90% there at half the price.

positive

Says their Sprints make them drive better and more consistently, and they enjoy modulating 50 kg of brake force.

positive

Mounted Sprints on the SimLab baseplate without the heelplate and regrets it, as the heelplate lifts feet two inches to the pedal pivot.

mixedgreat ergonomics

Uses Sprints on the baseplate without the heel plate, with the rotating pedal pad set long for size 11 shoes, and is completely satisfied.

positive

Could not get used to the Sprints' stiffness after T3PA pedals, tried softer rubbers, and may still need a heel plate.

mixed

Has had Sprints for over a year, and sets the brake just under the ABS threshold in SmartControl with a curve for the braking zone.

positivegood software

Just got Sprints after 10+ years of sim pedals and says the difference is huge, with a monster build and countless adjustments.

positivesolid build

Mounted Sprints directly into a GT1 pedal plate, where they fit perfectly with no flex at all.

positiverigid

Went from T300 RS pedals and then Fanatec CSL Elite with load cell to Sprints, which are brilliant in every way: top build quality, great software, a lovely clutch and accurate throttle.

positivesolid buildgood software

Finds Sprints far easier to adjust for pitch, distance, force and software than their older gear, and says they matter if you race often.

positivegood software

Had Sprints, later moved to P1000s and finds them worse in nearly every way.

positive

Upgraded from T-LCM pedals to Sprints and hates the elastomer brake, preferring a spring and finding they were better at braking on cheap Thrustmaster pedals.

mixed

Went from G920 pedals with TrueBrake to Sprints and says unless you go competitive you won't need anything else; car profiles are great and support was perfect.

positivegood software

Uses Sprints and calls the software and customer service beyond great, and much easier to use than Meca's software.

positivegood software

Came from a Moza R5 bundle to Sprints and really likes them, being more consistent with load cells.

positive

Moved from Fanatec V3 pedals to Sprints and likes them far more: pedals spread as wide as they like, an easy calibration tool and a simpler brake setup change.

positivegood software

Had the Sprints with no complaints, but after a month on VRS pedals they sold the Sprints because the VRS brake feels better and is easier to modulate.

positivegreat brake feel

Says Sprints aren't worth the money, with little adjustability, and recommends Thrustmaster, Fanatec or Moza pedals instead.

negativeoverpriced

Upgraded from Fanatec V3 pedals to the Sprints and says there is no competition, the Sprints are way better.

positive

Says the Sprints feel 10/10 out of the box compared with V3s, though they wish they'd gone hydraulic.

positivegreat brake feel

Says Sprints will serve you very well and you'll never need to upgrade, and that resale means they cost little in the long run.

positive

Used a DFGT with Sprints while waiting for a Simucube 2 and got the same lap times, finding the Sprints more immersive.

positive

Owned Sprints and Simsonn Plus X pedals, and sold the Sprints because the Simsonns are nearly identical for far less.

mixed

Heusinkveld sent a free replacement load cell for their second-hand Sprints without a receipt, which they call stellar customer support.

positive

Bought used Sprints with a faulty clutch, and Heusinkveld sent a free load cell out of warranty, restoring the clutch.

positivequality control issues

Their first load cell pedals, the Sprints, feel like pushing on rubber bushings no matter the elastomer or driver setup, though they wonder if they expect too much from a non-active set.

mixed

Has Sprints after V3s and loves them, praising Heusinkveld customer service and happy with the upgrade.

positivegood software

Loves Heusinkveld but can't recommend the Sprints over VRS pedals, citing VRS's stepless brake adjustment; the Sprints' plus points are a stiffer throttle and small form.

mixedgreat brake feel

Runs ACC on a modest rig and says the Sprints feel amazing as a novice, with fantastic customer service, though they'd want stiffer pedals for GT3 realism.

positivegreat value

Owned a three-pedal Sprint set and Ultimate+ pedals and finds the throttle so similar that the Ultimate+ is hard to call an upgrade; the Sprints' brake tops out above about 65 kg.

positive

Calls the Sprints a solid choice and finds Heusinkveld's software far better than others for dialling brake response at hardware level.

positivegood software

Went with Sprints after TLCMs and modded Moza SRPs, and finds them easily twice as good, with awesome predictability and repeatability.

positivegreat brake feel

Got the Sprints in September 2022 after T-LCMs, and with a baseplate they have held up very well to this day.

positive

Switched from Sprints to SRP GT pedals and finds it only a marginal upgrade in feel, though they still think Sprints feel great.

mixed

Upgraded from ClubSport V1 pedals and finds the Sprint throttle way more precise, making it far easier to lift only a little.

positivegood software

Upgraded to Heusinkveld Sprints after Fanatec V3s and couldn't be happier.

positive

Developed left inner thigh and knee pain after moving to load cell Sprints, which they hadn't had with G25 pedals, and swapping the elastomer for a spring didn't help.

mixed

Would choose VRS pedals if buying again, and plans to use up their Sprints' lifespan first.

mixed

After six years on a G29, finds their Sprints nice but not at all like a real car, and says Simucube and transducers changed more for them.

mixed

Upgraded from Fanatec V3 pedals to Sprints, installed inverted, and finds them just better, with software that lets them fine tune rates and curves.

positivegood software

Runs Sprints on a SimLab plate with no drilling needed; there is some flex when pressing hard on the brake, which they say doesn't affect their performance.

mixedflex

Missed brake linearity on their Sprints, tried VRS DFP pedals, then sent the VRS back and kept the Sprints, ordering stiffer springs to replace the elastomers.

mixed

Ordered a three-pedal Sprint set in December 2022 that developed rust spots on the plates; Heusinkveld replaced it free of charge without asking for the old set.

positivequality control issues

Their Sprints arrived with a faulty brake circuit board, and one email brought a free replacement board, which they call great support.

positivequality control issues

A bushing came out of their early Sprint throttle in shipping, and Heusinkveld sent a replacement without asking for the old one.

positivequality control issues

Upgraded from Fanatec V3 pedals after five years to Sprints with a Moza R9 and calls their quality, feel and adjustability on another level.

positivesolid buildgood software

Recently got Heusinkveld Sprints with a Simagic Alpha Mini and is very impressed by the quality.

positive

Absolutely loves the Sprints: they gave much better braking consistency out of the box, with fewer errors over a 40-minute race, though they didn't make them faster.

positivegreat brake feel

Upgraded from Sprints only because their maximum braking force was too low for them, but still calls Heusinkveld great with a great product and customer service.

mixed

Went from a G920 to Sprints and was very impressed by the engineering, build quality and thought put into mounting and adjustability.

positivesolid build

Upgraded from SRP Lite pedals to Sprints for $440 and loves them; after a day of adjustment they cut about 10 seconds from a Nurburgring lap, with great customization and software.

positivegood software

Has used Sprints for about four years and never felt they hurt potential; any gain left is in the driver, not the pedals.

positive

Replaced T-LCM pedals with Heusinkveld Sprints and says they were well worth it.

positive

Loves their Sprints with haptics added; worth it for the Heusinkveld brand.

positive

Has had their Heusinkveld Sprints for 4 years and upgraded everything around them but not the pedals, because there's simply no need.

positivesolid build

Their Sprints are good and customer service is great, but they'd pick VRS if choosing again and bought a spring kit for them.

mixed

Upgraded from Sprints to SRP pedals; with the Sprints' elastomer brake no combination of adjustments ever felt dialed in or natural.

negative

Very happy Sprint user; Heusinkveld's customer care is top notch and replaced parts for free twice, even for a second-hand set.

positivesolid build

Has enjoyed their Sprints and doesn't see themselves upgrading unless it's to active pedals.

positive

Loves their Sprints and recommends getting the baseplate unless you have something sturdy to mount them on.

positive

Prefers their P1000-RS to the Sprints but would take the Sprints over a standard P1000 for brake feel.

mixed

Has had both and picks Sprints over P1000s any day for their much greater adjustment range; still uses a Sprint clutch.

positive

Switched from P1000s to Sprints, preferring the Sprints' elastomer feel.

positive

Just bought Sprints and finds them wonderful; their braking has improved tremendously.

positivegreat brake feel

Prefers their old Sprints to the Simagic P2000s that replaced them.

positive

Has owned Sprints since about 2020 and they still work, but the rubbers are poor (they swapped to springs), adjusting means unmounting, the baseplate is badly designed and they're overpriced.

mixedoverpriced

Has used Fanatec V3s and Sprints; the Sprints were considerably better.

positive

Moved from V3s to Sprints this month: a definite upgrade and easier to configure, with load-cell force set in kg.

positivegood software

Has Sprints; the software is pretty great, with easy brake-pressure changes and good customization.

positivegood software

Tried VRS and Sprints and kept the Sprints; the VRS throttle couldn't be set up the way they wanted.

positive

Can brake consistently on their Sprints but struggles to feel a real braking transition in the pedal.

mixed

Moved from a modded T-LCM to Sprints; fine racing in socks at 42 kg, about 90% of the way there, though 65 kg max is less than expected.

positive

Five years with their Sprints and doesn't expect to need to replace them.

positive

Kept maxing out the Sprints' 65 kg load cell, which is why they moved up to Ultimates.

mixed

Has Sprints; tried a friend's Ultimates and wasn't missing anything, so they'd save the money.

positive

Owns Sprints and Ultimates; the Sprints are excellent unless you need more than 65 kg braking force.

positive

Their Sprints are solid at 85 kg with a config tweak, but the stock elastomers are poor for feel and reliability, so they swapped in springs.

mixeddurability issues

Has Sprints: great pedals that just work and are absolutely solid.

positivesolid build

Coming from Fanatec CSL load cells, the Sprints have superior build quality, though setup took some adjustment.

positivesolid build

Their Sprints' build quality and performance made their Fanatec V3s with performance kit feel like a toy.

positivesolid build

Moved from Fanatec to Sprints a couple of weeks ago and finds them amazing.

positive

Two years on Sprints with zero issues; tuning software is straightforward and they're faster with them.

positivegood software

Moved from V3s to Sprints years ago; they just work very well, with zero issues through heavy use.

positive

Owned Sprints since about 2019; super reliable with amazing support, but they wouldn't buy them in 2026.

mixedoverpriced

Switched from a T-LCM to Sprints and has far more control of brake pressure; easy to adjust with quality components.

positivegreat brake feel

Moving from V3s to Sprints felt like going from a basic wheel to a good one.

positive

Five years on Sprints at 30 kg with zero issues and great build quality.

positivesolid build

Their 3-pedal Sprints have great quality and lots of adjustment.

positivesolid build

Three-plus years on Sprints; when a controller board failed Heusinkveld express-shipped a replacement.

positivedurability issues

Four years on Sprints and they're great, though they'd consider VRS or SRP today.

positive

Bought Sprints after a refund on another set; they're fantastic and dropped their iRacing times.

positive

Upgraded from Sprints to VRS and doesn't think the Sprints are top of the line for pedal feel.

mixed

Had Sprints before Ultimates: well made but overpriced for what they are.

mixedoverpriced

Just got Sprints; they sit too tall even tilted, but coming from G29 pedals they're next level.

positive

Upgraded to Sprints alongside a Simagic Alpha Mini; the combo is a wow upgrade.

positive

Went G29, V3, Sprints, then VRS and calls the Sprints a waste of money.

negative

Switched to Sprints after their V3 load cell broke twice and really loves them.

positive

Had Sprints and moved to VNM pedals; the Sprints are great but limited by their load cell rating, and they never got the brake feeling right.

mixed

Regularly maxed out their Sprints' load cell and upgraded to Simtrecs.

mixed

Their Sprints hurt their feet in races longer than about 30 minutes.

negative

Their Sprint brake elastomers failed after a year in a hot room, but Heusinkveld support replied in under 12 hours and they were happy with the pedals' performance.

mixeddurability issues

Was constantly tinkering with their Sprints to get the right feel before moving to VRS.

mixed

Upgraded from a T-LCM to Sprints and finds them insane; very comfortable once adjusted and a total game changer.

positivegreat brake feel

Was slower for a while setting up the brake after moving from CSL Elites to Sprints, but loves them.

positive

Two weeks after swapping T-LCMs for Sprints they're struggling with adjustments; the throttle position hurts their knee.

mixed

Upgraded from CSL Elites to Sprints and the difference is night and day; loves the stiffness and craftsmanship.

positivesolid build

Their Sprints are the only part of the rig they don't see themselves upgrading for a long time.

positive

The Sprints' adjustability and smooth, consistent travel are a big step up from their Fanatec V3s.

positivegreat brake feel

Swapped V3s for Sprints: stiffer out of the box but far more adjustable with 30-second spring swaps and slightly better build; not twice as good for twice the price.

positivesolid build

Their Sprints' throttle and clutch were far better than CSL load-cell pedals, but the brake wasn't a huge difference.

mixed

When their Sprint brake load cell quit, Heusinkveld support replied on a Sunday and shipped a new one by Monday morning.

positivedurability issues

Bought Sprints, but with more experience would pick VRS or similar if buying again.

mixed

Their G29 pedals were faltering after 1,000 hours; upgrading to Sprints made a crazy difference.

positive

Two weeks into new Sprints their brake traces look erratic and they're considering returning them for VRS.

negative

Used Sprints for a couple of years before switching to VRS over issues with the elastomer brake.

mixed

Has Sprints and concluded that pricier pedals wouldn't make them faster.

positive

Moved from G29 pedals after 8 years to Sprints and noticed a big improvement in brake modulation.

positivegreat brake feel

Went from CSL pedals to Heusinkveld Sprints and found them a big step up from the CSL load cells.

positive

Upgraded from ClubSport V3s to Heusinkveld Sprints and finds it a huge improvement.

positive

Upgraded from ClubSport V3s to Heusinkveld Sprints and couldn't be happier.

positive

Had and loved ClubSport V3s, but their Heusinkveld Sprints blow them out of the water with better build, near-full adjustability and better software.

positivesolid build

Owned the Sprints after V3s: they offer more mounting flexibility and adjustability, but they don't think that's worth twice the price.

mixedoverpriced

Went from CSL load cell pedals to V3s to Heusinkveld Sprints; with the Sprints they no longer want to upgrade at all.

positive

Had Heusinkveld Sprints that were obviously better machined with perfect tolerances, but they preferred the Simjack Pros they tried and kept those instead.

mixedsolid build

Has Heusinkveld Sprints and feels no need to upgrade past them; the only complaint was how stiff the brake was.

positive

Went with Sprints over a friend's Fanatec pedals and has zero regrets; even the friend said the Sprints feel a lot better.

positive

Runs Sprints on an NLR DD wheel stand with little if any flex.

positive

Went from V3s to Sprints and is glad: adjustability, fit and finish and geometry are next level, and they're much more consistent.

positivesolid build

Runs Sprints on a wheel stand at 45 kg: the brake adjustability makes a huge difference and the throttle is very responsive; no plans to upgrade.

positive

Went from G923 pedals to V3s to Sprints: once you use the Sprints the V3s look like a toy.

positive

Finds Sprints much better than V3s: highly customisable, great feel, solid build and awesome software.

positivesolid buildgood software

Switched from V3s with the brake upgrade to Sprints and found barely any difference; wishes they'd gone for Ultimates.

mixed

Ran Heusinkveld Sprints for five years after Thrustmaster and Fanatec pedals; they felt so much better and they went back to the Sprint brake after trying an mBooster.

positive

Loves their Heusinkveld Sprints and plans to stick with them a good long while.

positive

Has Heusinkveld Sprints and likes them, but something feels off even with the newer elastomers on the softest setting.

mixed

Had Heusinkveld Sprints for five years with no issues.

positivesolid build

Has had Heusinkveld Sprints for almost four years with nothing to be unhappy about.

positive

Has both Heusinkveld Sprints and Simsonn pedals and finds the Sprints way better.

positive

Still running Heusinkveld Sprints that are a good five years old with no sign of dying; the clutch pedal is easy to add when needed.

positivesolid build

Has had Heusinkveld Sprints for a few years and uses them almost every day with no trouble at all.

positivesolid build

Bought Heusinkveld Sprints second-hand and finds them very worth it: very adjustable and super stiff.
