Description:
If you’re seeking the perfect racing simulator experience, the DOF Reality HERO 2 Motion Racing Simulator Platform is your ultimate choice. This full-motion platform with SFU provides two axes of movement and boasts top-tier design, engineering, quality, and performance, for lifelike simulation. The HERO 2 model is designed to move not only the seat but also all your controls (steering wheel, joystick, pedals, throttle, etc.) mounted on the motion platform. You can feel acceleration, braking, and G-forces during the turns -- just like you would in a real car.
The HERO 2 model features true two degrees of freedom (Pitch and Roll), and includes the platform frame, all necessary cables, and motion software. The software, Sim Racing Studio, is highly customizable and provides precise in-game feedback based on the car’s telemetry information, simulating road bumps, texture, vibrations, gear changes, collisions, and more. If you want to bring your ride to life, this is the platform for you.
Included is the platform frame, all necessary cables, and motion software. Platform extras, such as base covers, transportation wheels, emergency stop buttons, and floor mats are available as additional add-ons.
Please note that games and platform accessories (ie: seat, steering wheel, pedals, etc) are not included. Photos showing the platform with a seat, steering wheel, etc., are for visual reference only.

Metal Cyber Cover
The Metal Cyber Cover is an enclosure for the base of the platform that provides protection from the lower moving parts. Made from powder-coated steel, it is built to be durable and safe (all while looking good, too!).
- Prevents dust and reduces risks
- Protects pets and children from exposed parts
- Conceals the technical components for a clean, modern appearance
- Shields mechanics from dust and spills
- Lightweight yet robust structural design
- Made from precision laser-cut, powder-coated steel
Compatible with H2, H3, P2, and P3 platforms.
Protection Cover
If you like the protection that the Metal Cyber Cover provides, but want a more economical option, then the Protection Cover is for you! This is a soft, flexible cover that is designed to protect moving parts while providing safety.
Compatible with H2, H3, P2, and P3 platforms.
eBreak Stop Button
"Safety first." We know it's an old saying, but it's stuck around for a reason. Sometimes things happen, which is why we have the eBreak Stop Button. This is an emergency button that can be installed on the platform within easy reach. It allows you to immediately stop the motion platform -- so whether you need to make a mad dash to the door for Uber Eats, grab a crawling kid, or save the day in any other way, you can stop the movement right away to do so.
Compatible with all platform models.
Transportation Wheels
Moving your platform shouldn’t feel like moving a mountain. That’s where the transportation wheels come in. It adds two heavy-duty front wheels to your platform, letting one person easily lift it from the back so the wheels hit the floor. Whether you’re relocating it around the house or loading it up for an event, this kit makes quick work of the job.
Compatible with H3 and P3 platforms.
Cable Extension Set
Included in your purchase will be a set of 1.2m (4') to connect the control box to the motors. These are long enough for most common installations, where you would regularly place the control box under the pedals plate (for H2, H3, P2 and P3 models) or under the seat (for H6 and P6 models).
As a result, the Cables extension set is only needed for the customers who, for some reason, wish to place the control box further away from the platform.
Floor Mats
Skid marks are cool on the track. They're less cool on your living room floor. That's why the Floor Mat Set is here to keep things steady, quiet, and stylish. With six (6) durable rubber tiles measuring 19 1/2" x 19 1/2" and 1/2" thick (50 x 50 cm, 13 mm), this set creates a sturdy, cushioned surface that absorbs motion noise and protects your floors. Crafted from rubber granulate cubes, these mats deliver serious shock absorption, insulation from cold floors, and an anti-slip grip. Weather-resistant and eco-friendly, they’re built to handle whatever comes their way—all while keeping your simulator setup sleek and soundproof.
MagicBox for PlayStation and Xbox
If you don't have a proxy Windows PC to host the SimRacingStudio (SRS) software, add-on the MagicBox to your purchase. This box connects to your PlayStation or Xbox, hosts the SRS software, gets the motion information directly from the console games, and lets you control SRS with your phone or tablet. Just plug the DOF Reality motion platform into the MagicBox and enjoy the console.
If you do have a PC to host the software, this add-on is not needed.
What is included in the DOF Reality platform?
DOF Reality platforms come with the motion simulator frame, mounts for seat or sliding rails, integrated power drive motors, a control unit with USB compatibility (110-240v), SimRacingStudio license, quick assembly tools, and a 1-year full warranty.
It does not come with any accessories (seat, steering wheel, pedals, etc). This product is the frame only.
Will it work with PlayStation and Xbox?
Yes, all motion platforms from DOF Reality are compatible with both PlayStation and Xbox gaming systems.
Do I need a PC for the motion software to work?
While you can use a proxy Windows PC to host the SimRacingStudio (SRS) software, this is not necessary. Instead, you can purchase the MagicBox add-on which hosts the SRS software, gets motion information directly from the console games, and lets you control SRS with your phone or tablet. Just plug the DOF Reality motion platform into the MagicBox and enjoy the console sims.
What seat should I use with your platform?
Seat choice is a matter of personal preference and almost any bottom-mount car or gaming seat will work with your DOF Reality platform. For general recommendations, we suggest a Bucket Racing Seat (to prevent falling during G-forces) and a lighter seat (so the motion performance will be enhanced).
For specific recommendations, we suggest the Sparco R100 Seat, Sparco R333 Seat, or Sparco Sprint Seat. Please note that a real, certified racing seats can be quite expensive -- and these are not necessary for racing. A non-certified seat will still work the same way and will generally be cheaper than certified ones.
The best option for your DOF Platform will be to use a standard bottom mount car seat with sliders/rails (as in a real car). This will provide you with the opportunity for quick adjustments and easy mounting. If you choose a bucket seat, please note that most will require 'side to bottom mounted bracket adapters' and 'sliders.'
Does it come assembled?
The platform requires assembly upon delivery, but it includes quick assembly tools for easy setup.
How does motion cancellation/compensation work with the platforms?
The SimRacingStudio software handles motion cancellation and compensation to ensure smooth and accurate simulation.
What will I get if I order?
You will receive the motion simulator platform frame with all necessary cables and software. Please note that you will need to purchase the seat, steering wheel, pedals, and any controllers or VR Headseats separately.
