MOZA ES
The ES is MOZA’s entry-level round wheel, common in the R5 and R3 base bundles. It has an aviation-grade aluminium structure with leather grips, 22 programmable buttons and two joysticks, plus a sequential RGB shift light; its paddles are aluminium with mechanical action (no clutch). It accepts official mods to turn it into a formula style or a 12" round rim. In Automobilista 2 it is a good starting point in touring cars, classics, karts and period single-seaters, where a small round wheel is the authentic choice.
MOZA ESMOZA ESX
The ESX is the Xbox-licensed version of the ES: it works on Xbox consoles and on PC over MOZA bases. It shares the round format with an aluminium rim, but with anti-slip, sweat-proof PU grips, 22 programmable buttons and two joysticks. Like the ES, it accepts the official formula and 12" round wheel mods. It is the entry option for those who also game on Xbox, and in Automobilista 2 (PC) it fits the same classes as the ES: touring cars, classics, karts and period single-seaters.
