MOZA 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.
