The ZeroTorque clutch is the key differentiator: it breaks the direct mechanical link between engine torque feedback and the steering wheel, so you’re not fighting the engine every time you hold a turn. This is a meaningful upgrade over a standard rotary helm without the cost and complexity of a full hydraulic conversion.
