16 weeks and 6 days from time of order to doorstep. Pedals still estimated for 27 more days before shipping which if the 4 days travel holds will put them at 21 weeks 1 day from order placed to doorstep. I would think anyone ordering between January 21 and maybe Feb 21 should get similar times to the USA east coast. Hopefully you don’t get bigger delays from the preorder sales that happened the end of January or into February.

Keep in mind my shipment expected date for the pedals can still be pushed and I’ll make sure to keep all out who are interested in the lead times from order to delivery.

Hope this helps those of you considering ordering making that informed decision. To all of you waiting for shipment updates, may this help you gauge a more time realistic guesstimate on your shipping dates.

As shown above my order is mostly shipped. I listed each item so that those ordering the same or similar thing can gauge their estimated wait.

I ordered everything on Jan 21. The R1 pedals were ordered then and according to Virpil that was like 1 or 2 weeks before the new foot plate preorders went live. I am expecting mid June for that to ship. I paid 40 bucks to split the pedals into its own order so the rest would ship now.

Pedals ordered after Jan 21 and, probably 2 or so weeks after preorders opened are likely to experience more wait time than I did for mine. 20 to 25 weeks estimate.

The collective side is likely to stay at around 16 weeks as nothing new has launched on that end but expect a jump when the cyclic grip launches most likely.

Anyway the damper kit was ready in less than 8 weeks and so was the collective base but the grip delayed that shipment:

As of right now I’d estimate the following waits for each piece of kit if ordering between Jan 21 2025 and today

8 weeks: Dual-SF TCS Rotor Base
R1 Pedal Damper Kit
16 weeks: Dual-SF Collective Grip
20 plus weeks: R1 Pedals

These are estimates based on my wait time, discussion with Virpil Support and others’s posts on multiple forums.

Hoops this alleviates some stress from at least one persons waiting. And yes fuel prices, tariffs (even though it isn’t costing us it effects manufacturing I guess) and the war with Iran are delaying ask these things possible further.

Hope this helps and doesn’t makes people feel depressed. I just kept seeing people say 8 weeks to ship and then the world went chaotic so these are at least hopefully numbers to instill confidence that the product will arrive even if considerably longer wait times occur.

Here are the photos of my new Virpil collective and grip as well as the pedal damper kit that I ordered on Jan 21.

My R1 Damper kit, Dual SF Collective Grip, and the Rotor TCS Plus Collective Base have shipped!!!
