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 V2
The R9 V2 refined the successful 9 Nm base by adding a wired data pin to the Quick Release —so it accepts both wireless and wired wheels— and a rear panel with extra ports for pedals and handbrake. It keeps the 180 W servo motor, aviation-grade aluminium chassis and 1000 Hz USB refresh, with a 15-bit encoder. It is still sold as an affordable, balanced 9 Nm option. In Automobilista 2 it is a very versatile base for GT, touring cars and mid-range single-seaters, with plenty of torque for most classes except the most demanding.
