A new chapter will begin for Gomez Sim Industries (GSI) on 1 September 2025. That is when the brand will launch the GSI Interlock - the first fully modular steering system in sim racing. With this system, GSI aims not only to bring innovation, but also to set a new standard in flexibility and personalisation. Whereas most steering wheels have fixed designs, the Interlock allows for full customisation, allowing sim racers to fine-tune their setup in detail. In this article, find out what the new GSI Interlock system is and what we know about it - so far.
About GSI
Gomez Sim Industries (GSI) is known for their high-quality and innovative sim racing hardware. Besides the new GSI Interlock, the brand has already released several iconic products, such as the immensely popular GSI Hyper P1, the GSI FPE V2 and the ideal entry-level model GSI X-29. Each product combines precision, design and durability, making GSI a top choice for avid sim racers worldwide.
A handlebar that adapts to you
The Interlock is all about versatility and freedom of choice. The system consists of individual modules that you can combine according to your preferences. Whether you drive competitively in GT3s, endurance events or just take a casual lap, there is always a composition to suit your needs.
- Interlock Base Module - the core of the system and the starting point for any Interlock setup. Available with shifters ($485) or with shifters + clutches ($675). Ready for montage via a 70mm PCD and compatible with numerous cockpits and mounts. The base module can optionally be extended with the LED Matrix for additional functionality and feedback.
- Interlock 5×7 LED Matrix - a compact yet powerful LED display that can be easily added to any handlebar with a standard 55mm horn hole. The display snaps into place via pogo pins, making cables completely unnecessary. Ideal for displaying data such as revs or flag statuses. Price: $85.
- Interlock GSI Rims - steering wheels in various styles, from D-shaped to fully round. Each rim comes with the 5×7 LED Matrix and can be ordered with shifters ($650) or shifters + clutches ($825). The finish consists of perforated synthetic leather or suede, ensuring comfort and grip during long sessions.
- Interlock Ultra - the flagship model within the series. This handlebar combines interchangeable grips with a seamlessly integrated LED Matrix. The result is a high-end handlebar that impresses not only in terms of functions but also appearance. Available with shifters ($695) or shifters + clutches ($875).
GSI Interlock is ready for the future
A key component of the Interlock is its future-proof technology. The system is designed with the new Powerlink QR protocol in mind, which will soon make its appearance. Thanks to USB-C passthrough and dynamic current switching the Interlock can work together with different passthrough QR systems without any problems. This means users no longer need complicated cable management and can easily switch between setups. I think that sounds very interesting and a good development. Nothing is more annoying than many and different types of cables you use to connect your handlebars to your PC.
Moreover, the Interlock was developed with durability and expandability in mind. Each component is separately available and replaceable, which means racers do not have to replace their handlebars in their entirety when new functions or modules become available. This approach not only extends the life of the product, but also makes the system more cost-efficient in the long run.
GSI Interlock Pre-order and launch
From 1 September 2025 GSI opens the pre-orders. For true early adopters, there is an attractive promotion: those who order within the first 24 hours will receive 10% discount on his order. Moreover, GSI will choose one lucky winner among the first buyers who will get their Interlock delivered for free. This underlines the brand's ambition to stage the launch big and involve the community directly in this new chapter.
"This is not just another handlebar. This is interchangeability evolved."
According to GSI itself: "This is not just another handlebar. This is interchangeability evolved." In doing so, the brand emphasises that it is not a simple product, but an ecosystem built around ease of use and innovation.

Conclusion
With the Interlock, GSI takes a clear step towards a new generation of sim racing hardware. Modularity, personalisation and future-proof technology come together here in one system designed for both the avid eSports driver and the enthusiastic hobbyist. Where traditional steering wheels are often a compromise, the Interlock allows you to create exactly the wheel that suits your style and preferences. And fundamentally, that sounds very interesting!
For sim racers looking to flexibly expand or customise their setup, this looks like one of the most promising innovations of the last few years. With a wide ecosystem of modules, an attractive launch campaign and a progressive technical foundation, the Interlock is already delivering on its promise. I cannot wait to see this steering wheel on the Sim Gaming Expo in Chicago to be admired! To be continued 😉
