The one difference we can verify
The Advanced Accessory Bundle is documented in our catalog. The Essential bundle is not, so this comparison focuses on what the Advanced adds and when that matters. The Advanced includes a cup holder, mouse pad plate, cable clips, power bar cover, G-Profile cable guides, and a Gen 1 handbrake. If you already own the Essential bundle, the Advanced is essentially those same cockpit refinements plus two upgrades: cleaner wire management and handbrake control.
That makes the decision less about which bundle is 'better' and more about whether you need a handbrake and tidier cabling. If you don't, the Essential bundle may cover the basics, but we can't confirm its exact contents from the supplied information.
What the Advanced bundle adds over the basics
Use this side-by-side to see which additions matter for your rig. The Essential column reflects typical basic accessories only where the Advanced bundle's own contents imply them; it is not a verified Essential parts list.
- Cup holder: Included in the Advanced bundle. A basic convenience item likely shared with an essential-tier bundle, but not confirmed for the Essential.
- Mouse pad plate: Included in the Advanced bundle. Useful if you use a mouse alongside your wheel; not confirmed for the Essential.
- Cable clips (10-pack): Included in the Advanced bundle. Basic wire tidying; not confirmed for the Essential.
- Power bar cover plate: Included in the Advanced bundle. Covers a power strip for a cleaner look; not confirmed for the Essential.
- G-Profile cable guides (6" duo-pack): Advanced-only in the supplied evidence. These are the step up from clips for routing wires along aluminum profile.
- Handbrake plate (Gen 1): Advanced-only in the supplied evidence. Adds handbrake mounting and control to the bundle.
Price and color choices for the Advanced bundle
The Advanced Accessory Bundle is listed at USD 244.76, with a catalog comparison price of USD 339.94 and a stated 12% saving. The G-Profile cable management duo-pack comes in Matte Black or Infinite Black. If your rig's aluminum profile is a specific finish, match the guides to it; otherwise either color works functionally.
The bundle does not arrive in a Pelican Case; the primary image is for reference only. That matters if you were expecting a case as part of the package.
Advanced Accessory Bundle facts that affect the decision
-
Advanced Accessory Bundle: Save 12% with the Advanced Accessory Bundle. The bundle discount is the main price argument over buying the same parts separately.
Advanced Accessory Bundle

Advanced Accessory Bundle: G-Profile cable management duo-pack is available in Matte Black or Infinite Black. Color choice only affects the cable guides, not the other components.
When the Advanced bundle is the right call
- You want a handbrake: The Gen 1 handbrake plate is the clearest upgrade over a basic accessory bundle. If you drift, rally, or just want a handbrake on your rig, this bundle includes the mounting hardware for it.
- Your cabling is a mess: The G-Profile 6" cable guides go beyond simple clips for routing wires along aluminum profile. If visible cables bother you, this is the bundle that addresses it.
- You already own the basics: If you have a cup holder, mouse pad, and clips, the Advanced bundle's value comes down to the handbrake and G-Profile guides. The 12% saving only helps if you need those additions.
- You have an ASR aluminum-profile rig: The supplied compatibility evidence says these components are designed for ASR rigs. Confirm your chassis matches before ordering.
What we can't tell you about the Essential bundle
The supplied records do not include the Essential Accessory Bundle's contents, price, or compatibility. That means we can't say whether it includes a handbrake, G-Profile guides, or the same four basic accessories. If you are choosing between the two, treat the Advanced bundle as the known quantity: you can see exactly what you get and what it costs. For the Essential bundle, check the product page directly for its parts list before deciding.
This is a limitation of the evidence, not a suggestion that the Essential bundle is incomplete. It may well cover the basics for a lower price; we simply can't confirm that here.
A simple way to decide
- List what you already own: Write down whether you have a cup holder, mouse pad plate, cable clips, power bar cover, cable guides, and handbrake. Cross off anything you already have.
- Decide if a handbrake is on your wish list: If yes, the Advanced bundle is the only one in the supplied evidence that includes a Gen 1 handbrake plate.
- Check your cable situation: If loose wires are a constant annoyance, the G-Profile guides are the Advanced bundle's second differentiator.
- Verify your rig and the Essential contents: Confirm your chassis is an ASR aluminum-profile rig. Then check the Essential bundle's product page for its exact contents before comparing prices.
