When you compare aluminum profile cockpits online, the sticker price is only half the story. Overseas rigs often tack on $150 to $300 in international air freight plus unexpected customs brokerage fees at your door. Advanced SimRacing manufactures and powder-coats its cockpits right in Montreal, North America, and includes free tariff-free shipping across the US and Canada on orders over $100.
How North American Manufacturing Lowers Your Landed Cost
Every ASR 3 ($522.49 net), ASR 4 [Flat Face] ($807.49 net), and ASR Pro ($1,092.49 net) is cut, finished, and packed in custom-molded foam boxes in North America. Instead of thin anodized aluminum that scratches the first time you slide a bracket, ASR applies a thick, scratch-resistant matte powder coat in-house.
