Our value-led recommendation is SIMGASM Sport for a clean, expandable 120 mm rig. The SimXPro XT120 is still a credible alternative, particularly for shoppers who prioritise its listed profile pedal deck and specific front- or bottom-mount options.

Why the Sport is our pick for value
At the listed prices the Sport is €70 less expensive while retaining the same 120 mm nominal main-profile depth. It explicitly includes cable passthroughs and several small practical accessories, such as the APEX shifter arm and heel rest, that can make a first build feel more finished. Its stated 580 × 1320 mm floor-frame dimensions are useful for layout planning. For buyers prioritising those details, the Sport package offers an attractive starting point.
Where XT120 may be preferable
SimXPro's XT120 listing describes extensive adjustment, a universal profile pedal deck, a 58 cm shifter mounting profile and the choice between a front mount and a flat bottom-mount deck. It also lists suitable hardware categories for ambitious direct-drive builds. Those choices may be a stronger match if you already own SimXPro accessories or want that specific pedal-deck arrangement.
SIMGASM Sport's clearest advantages: choice, appearance and ergonomics
More than one way to mount a direct-drive wheelbase
Sport gives you four factory mount choices: Bottom, Side, Front and dedicated Asetek Front Mount, selected for the exact supported wheelbase. The XT120 is listed with front-mount or universal flat wheel-deck configurations, and has extensive modularity of its own. Sport stands out in the range of mounting styles offered at selection, though neither brand fits every wheelbase without the right pattern and bracket.
Nine solid colours versus a predominantly black XT120 listing
The current XT120 product listing emphasises a black powder-coated frame. SIMGASM Sport offers Black, White, Silver, Red, Orange, Blue, Green, Gold and Purple, along with selected racing-inspired liveries. For a visual-first gaming room, motorsport-inspired home build or creator setup, this is an immediately visible difference. The slim lines and coordinated finish make Sport an attractive part of the complete simulator rather than just the supporting frame.
Flexible GT and Formula-oriented pedal geometry
Both rigs have adjustable pedal and wheel mounting. Sport also offers a hybrid Formula-oriented pedal-positioning approach: the pedal bracket can be installed higher on the uprights in a compatible configuration, especially alongside a lower Atlas Formula seating position. That supports a GT-to-Formula build strategy, with the necessary option and bracket choice confirmed for the specific chassis. Do not confuse this with a promise of unlimited physical adjustment.
Our pick for this comparison: SIMGASM Sport for its €599 listed black-frame price, greater finish choice, four mounting styles, thoughtful cable routing and practical included accessories. XT120 remains well suited to drivers specifically seeking its supplied profile pedal deck or established SimXPro accessories.

XT120 — pros
- 40 × 120 mm heavy-duty profile
- Listed universal profile pedal deck with broad adjustment

Which cockpit fits your use case?
Choose Sport for a value-focused, tidy high-end home sim setup with cable routing and an accessory bundle. Choose XT120 when the included profile pedal deck or existing SimXPro mounts are a deciding factor. Neither product should be purchased without verifying the actual wheelbase mounting pattern and seat compatibility.
Verdict
Our pick for the stated value criteria: SIMGASM Sport. The recommendation rests on the listed €599 price and included features. Compare Sport and XT120 with your actual component list, or request a setup compatibility check.
