Review
Very sturdy unit but very heavy and hard to move if required. Bolts need to be tightened regularly and it's quite hard to line up the seat, steering wheel and pedals. Once set, the unit is very good.

The TR160 V5 is an upgraded version of the popular Trak Racer TR160 MK4. From 2019 to 2021, the TR160 MK4 was the King of Sims. It ticks all of the boxes for a Sim Rig that demands to be the strongest in it’s class with thicker aluminum profile walls than it’s competition and includes the best designed mounts and 160x40mm aluminum brackets for extra rigidity in the wheel mount uprights. It's Strong, Extremely Adjustable, and has a huge list of available accessories. In the usual Trak Racer way, we gathered customer feedback from thousands of TR160 MK4 owners to develop the TR160 V5.
