Asetek Forte
Same build and features as the La Prima but with a more powerful motor delivering 18 Nm, plus customisable LED strips along the base. The sweet spot of the Asetek range.
Asetek ForteMOZA R12 V2
For many, the R12 V2 is the sweet spot of MOZA’s line-up: 12 Nm of direct torque with a 21-bit encoder and a carbon-fibre rotor that improves heat dissipation, plus front mounting and a more refined FFB than the first version. Its 216 W servo motor and aerospace-grade aluminium chassis give a strong, consistent response session after session. It is powerful enough to convey grip with authority in GT3, prototypes and endurance, without the size of the 21-25 Nm bases. In Automobilista 2 it is one of the most recommendable bases for serious use in virtually any class.
