Compact haptic detail for tight sim racing builds.
The Xcite XBS25-4 is a low-profile 4 Ohm bass shaker made for places where a larger transducer simply will not fit. Think of it as a 25W RMS compact tactile unit first: small, precise and easy to place around a cockpit. The higher 125W figure is peak/max headroom, while the useful setup target for real-world tuning is the 25W RMS range.



Use it where you want feedback, not where you have spare space.
In a sim rig, the most useful tactile systems are often split into zones: seat, backrest, pedal tray, shifter area or chassis points. The XBS25-4 is especially useful for these smaller mounting positions, adding road texture, kerb strikes, gear shifts, ABS pulses and engine vibration without needing the height of a traditional puck or full-size shaker.
Add compact feedback close to the driver without a tall shaker under the cockpit.
Great for brake lock-up, ABS texture, road surface and front-axle information.
Small size makes it easier to build several dedicated tactile channels around the rig.
Also works for compact home theater, gaming and VR vibration projects.

25 mm slim, but still built to move.
The XBS25-4 uses a neodymium motor, oversized voice coil, double steel suspension and Xcite’s SpiderCore architecture to keep the body short while maintaining real excursion. The result is a compact tactile transducer that feels more controlled and physical than a basic vibration motor.
The practical continuous power figure for sizing compact haptic zones and amplifier channels.
Mechanical excursion helps create real tactile movement, not only light buzzing.
Strong force output for the size, with 37.7 N average force specification.
Robust housing design with compact terminals and a clean low-profile format.
Size the amplifier around 25W RMS, with clean headroom for peaks.
The XBS25-4 is the 4 Ohm version, so the amplifier must be stable for the final impedance of your wiring. For planning, treat it as a 25W RMS tactile transducer and keep the 125W number as peak/max headroom rather than a constant power target. A properly matched channel gives better control, stronger transient response and cleaner separation between effects.

Mount it firmly and let the rig transfer the effect.
Like any tactile transducer, the XBS25-4 performs best when it is bolted to a rigid surface. Soft padding absorbs the effect, while a firm plate, seat structure or aluminum profile mounting point transfers the vibration into the driver much more clearly.
Seat, backrest, pedal tray or cockpit frame – pick the place where the effect should be felt.
Use a solid plate or structure so the shaker can transfer movement instead of flexing the mount.
Check amplifier compatibility, polarity and final impedance before applying power.
Keep effects separated and avoid sending everything to every shaker channel at full strength.

The shaker itself – ready for your own tactile setup.
This product includes one Xcite XBS25-4 tactile transducer. Amplifier, wiring, audio output and mounting hardware are selected separately based on your cockpit, number of channels and target haptic strength.
Is this a replacement for a large seat shaker?
No. It is a compact, slim tactile transducer. Use it when space is tight or when you want multiple detailed zones rather than one heavy central shaker.
Can it be used with SimHub?
Yes. With a suitable amplifier and audio output, it can be used for SimHub tactile effects such as road texture, gear shifts, kerbs, ABS and engine vibration.
