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 V3
The R9 V3 is the most recent iteration of MOZA’s 9 Nm base. It keeps the torque, 180 W power and compact form factor, but raises the encoder to 21-bit (2,097,152 PPR) for an even finer position signal, and combines wireless and wired connection in the Quick Release. It is one of the most balanced lower-mid-range bases on the market: notable FFB detail, aviation-grade aluminium build and modest consumption. In Automobilista 2 it is a highly recommendable choice for GT3/GT4, touring cars and single-seaters, comfortably covering most drivers who aren’t after the extreme torque of top-tier bases.
