MOZA R5 Pro
The R5 Pro is the R5 moved on within the entry range: up to 6 Nm, with a new 21-bit magnetic encoder, a 600 MHz CPU and the NexGen Force Feedback 5.0 algorithm, against the 5.5 Nm and 15-bit encoder of the R5. MOZA does not sell it on its own: it only comes inside the R5 Pro bundles, the racing one (with the ES Lite wheel and SR-P Lite2 pedals) and the truck one (with the 400 mm TSW Truck Wheel).
MOZA R5 ProMOZA R9 V1
First generation of the popular 9 Nm R9. It shares the aviation-grade aluminium chassis and 180 W servo motor of the later versions, but its Quick Release was wireless-only, without the wired data pin introduced with the V2. It was one of the bases that established MOZA in the mid range. It was replaced by the R9 V2; today it is only of historical or second-hand interest.
