Take your racing simulation to the next level with the DOF Reality HERO H2, a 2-axis full-motion racing simulator platform engineered for true-to-life immersion and performance. Designed for serious sim racers and professionals alike, the HERO H2 delivers cutting-edge realism with pitch and roll motion that simulates acceleration, braking, and cornering forces—just like driving a real race car.
Since 2014, DOF Reality has been a leader in affordable motion simulators, and the HERO H2 continues that legacy. This full-motion platform moves your seat, wheel, pedals, joystick, and monitor together, delivering more convincing g-force simulation through your body’s natural pressure points for total immersion.
The integrated Sim Racing Studio (SRS) software provides real-time telemetry-based feedback for road texture, gear shifts, bumps, and collisions—so every curb, rumble strip, and impact feels more connected and believable.
Whether you're an enthusiastic hobbyist or a professional eSports driver, the DOF Reality HERO H2 is built for long-term reliability, upgrade potential, and serious performance—backed by a full warranty and worldwide support.
Why it stands out
2 DOF motion tuned for racing
Purpose-built pitch & roll motion recreates braking, acceleration cues, and cornering forces for a more authentic race car feel—ideal for competitive sim racing and serious practice sessions.
All-in-one motion frame
Unlike seat-movers, the HERO H2 moves the entire rig—seat, wheel, pedals, monitor, joystick, and mounted hardware— so your body receives more natural pressure cues for immersive g-force simulation.
Telemetry-driven realism with SRS
Included Sim Racing Studio (SRS) converts real-time telemetry into motion effects for road texture, bumps, curbs, collisions, gear shifts, and more—so you feel what the car is doing, not just what you see.
Commercial-grade build quality
Built with commercial-grade metal profiles and robust drive components to handle demanding racing sims, long sessions, and aggressive motion profiles—while maintaining stability and durability.
Modular, upgrade-ready platform
A future-ready design supports expansion as your setup grows, with compatibility for higher-spec DOF Reality configurations such as H2 and H6 upgrades—helping protect your investment long term.

FAQ
The DOF Reality HERO H2 is a 2 DOF (pitch + roll) full-motion racing simulator platform that moves your entire rig—seat, wheel, pedals, monitor, and controls—to simulate braking, acceleration, and cornering forces. It’s designed for serious sim racers who want immersive, telemetry-driven motion in a compact footprint.
The HERO H2 is an all-in-one motion frame, meaning it moves the seat, wheel, pedals, joystick, and monitor together as one platform. This unified motion delivers more natural g-force cues through your body’s pressure points compared to seat-only motion solutions.
The platform offers a 20° range of motion with speeds up to 50 cm/s (about 86°/s). It can generate up to 0.7G transverse and 0.5G longitudinal acceleration, creating highly convincing braking, cornering, and road surface cues when paired with telemetry via Sim Racing Studio.
The HERO H2 includes a Sim Racing Studio (SRS) license, which connects to supported games to read telemetry in real time. SRS converts that data into motion cues—road vibrations, bumps, curbs, collisions, gear shifts, and more—so the platform responds to what the car is doing.
Yes—by adding the optional MagicBox for PS/XBOX motion. MagicBox can host Sim Racing Studio directly, enabling motion support for supported console titles without a Windows PC. MagicBox is for motion control only; your wheel, pedals, and other peripherals still connect to your console as usual.
The DOF Reality HERO H2 platform is rated to support up to 330 lbs (150 kg), making it suitable for a wide range of drivers while maintaining performance and reliability.
The approximate footprint is 2 × 5 ft with a height around 2 ft (about 59 × 150 cm, 60 cm height). Allow extra clearance for seat travel, peripheral mounts, and monitor positioning when planning your sim room layout.
Yes. The HERO platform is designed with a modular approach and is listed as compatible with H2 and H6 upgrades, allowing you to expand capabilities as your simulator requirements grow.
The HERO H2 includes a full 1-year manufacturer warranty and is backed by 24/7 global support. You can also add an optional extended warranty for an additional year of coverage.
