MOZA R12 V2 Direct Drive Wheel Base 12Nm

A 12Nm direct drive base with a carbon fibre wrapped rotor and a slanted pole servo motor. At this torque level you are into the range where the wheel can genuinely fight back, which is the point: a car losing grip should be something you feel in your arms, not something you read off a screen.

You need a rig for this

Do not clamp a 12Nm base to a desk and expect it to feel right. The clamp will hold, but the desk will flex under peak torque and that flex arrives at your hands as vagueness. A bolted aluminium profile rig, or at minimum a purpose built wheel stand, is effectively a requirement at this level rather than an upgrade.

The carbon fibre wrapped rotor is not marketing. Wrapping the rotor lets it spin faster without the magnets migrating, which is how you get high torque without the motor becoming enormous.

Base only

No wheel rim and no pedals included. Budget for both.

PC only. No console support.
