The Future of Affordable High Performance Sim Racing
The world of sim racing has grown dramatically over the past decade. What was once considered a niche hobby, sim racing is now a multibillion dollar industry where e-sports competitors, motorsport teams, and casual enthusiasts can come together and race in the virtual race track. In our eyes, sim racing is the only true E-Sport. Fueling this exponential growth in sim racing is an ever increasing demand for realism, immersion, and performance. And that’s exactly what MOZA offers.
In this blog, we will explore why MOZA is one of the fastest growing brands in sim racing, what makes their products unique, and why they’re an excellent choice for anyone looking to enter or improve their virtual racing experience.
What is MOZA?
MOZA, a subdivision of the Chinese company Gudsen, launched in 2021. A relatively young brand in the sim racing scene. Despite being new, they have quickly gained traction thanks to their direct drive wheelbases, load cell pedals, and wide range of racing & flight peripherals. MOZA’s approach is simple: bring top of the line engineering at a price point that makes professional grade hardware more accessible.
Cutting-Edge Direct Drive Technology
One of MOZA’s standout offerings is their direct drive wheelbase lineup. Unlike entry level wheels that use gears or belts, direct drive systems connect the steering wheel directly to the motor shaft. This means:
- No lag between inputs and feedback.
- Incredibly detailed force feedback (you feel tire slip, understeer, oversteer, and curb vibrations in real time).
- Durability with fewer mechanical parts that can wear out.
MOZA has a huge range of direct drive bases, starting at 3.9nm with R3 to the newly announced R25 that pushes over 25nm! These wheelbases deliver torque levels that rival or surpass established competitors like Fanatec, often at a more competitive price.
MOZA’s Product Ecosystem
Unlike some brands that specialize in one component, MOZA has built an ecosystem of sim racing gear and flight gear, which makes it easy for beginners and advanced users alike. Their lineup includes:
- Wheelbases: R3, R5, R9, R16, and R21 and up. Covering everyone from casual racers to hardcore sim enthusiasts.
- Steering Wheels: Formula-style wheels, GT wheels, and rally inspired rims with magnetic shifters, customizable LEDs, and carbon fiber construction.
- Pedals: MOZA’s SRP and CRP Pedals use load cell technology, providing realistic brake feel at an affordable cost. They also have the newly released mBooster Active Pedal that provides on the fly adjustments and feedback for the most serious of racers
- Shifters: MOZA offers multiple different shifters, including a sequential shifter, H-pattern shifter, and the first-ever force feedback shifter using the AB9 FFB Base.
- Accessories: There is a huge range of accessories including dashboard screens, brake and steering wheel modifications and even multi-function stalks for those looking to replicate road car or truck experiences.
- MOZA Pit House Software: A powerful and user friendly suite for adjusting force feedback, pedal response, steering profiles, and even RGB lighting.
This plug-and-play ecosystem means you can get everything in one brand, saving you time on compatibility headaches.
MOZA vs the Competition
It’s impossible to talk about MOZA without comparing them to the big names: Fanatec, Thrustmaster, and Logitech. Here’s how MOZA stacks up:
- MOZA vs Fanatec: Fanatec is an established sim racing brand that for the longest time had been the go to brand, with the arrival of MOZA's more accessible prices, Fanatec has found itself being one step behind and having to play catch up. MOZA competes with similar torque levels and build quality at lower prices.
- MOZA vs Thrustmaster: Thrustmaster still relies heavily on belt-driven systems, which don’t match the detail of MOZA’s direct drive. Their eco-system is much less modular and is quickly becoming outdated.
- MOZA vs Logitech: Logitech was ideal for entry level racers for many years, but MOZA is now offering similar and better products at lower prices. Logitech also suffers from the same issue Thrustmaster does; the ecosystem. Many Logitech products are incompatible with other products in their lineup, causing confusion with many buyers.
MOZA’s value proposition: get direct drive realism without overspending.
Who Should Buy MOZA?
MOZA products are ideal for:
- Beginners: Affordable entry-level direct drive kits like the R3 bundle give newcomers a pro-level experience right away.
- Enthusiasts: For those upgrading from Logitech or Thrustmaster, MOZA offers a big step up in realism and immersion.
- E-Sports competitors: With reliable hardware and detailed force feedback, MOZA is competitive with brands used at the highest level of the e-sports community.
- Simulator venues (like TracksVR): MOZA’s durability and ease-of-use make it a great choice for commercial environments where multiple drivers use the equipment.
Our goal? You sit down, fire it up, and enjoy a sim racing experience like never before.
MOZA Flight Products
While MOZA built its reputation in sim racing, the company has recently expanded into the flight simulation market, bringing the same philosophy of precision engineering, realism, and value to the virtual skies.
Their flight lineup includes:
- Flight Yokes – Offering precise, smooth control for aviation enthusiasts and training pilots.
- Throttle Panels – Built with high-quality sensors for accurate throttle response, whether you’re flying commercial jets or general aviation aircraft.
- Control Panels - High-fidelity multi-function landing panel, designed for precision control and immersive flight simulation.
Just like with their racing gear, MOZA focuses on durability, adjustability, and immersion. This makes their flight products a fantastic choice for both flight sim hobbyists who want reliable hardware as well as professional training setups needing robust and accurate controls.
WHY Buy Moza?
MOZA is shaking up the sim racing world by offering the perfect blend of performance, accessibility, and innovation. Whether you’re new to sim racing or looking to upgrade your current setup, MOZA delivers amazing gear that balances realism, quality, and affordability better than most.
At TracksVR, we recommend MOZA for anyone who wants to step into the world of direct drive racing without breaking the bank.
