Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
The Chinese Moza Racing brand has added two new Sim Racing products to its lineup, in the form of the MOZA R12 Direct Drive Wheelbase and the MOZA KS Wheel Rim.
The MOZA R12 is a 12 Nm Direct Drive Wheelbase, tailor-made for simulating race cars, delivering a stable and realistic torque output of 12 Nm. It flawlessly replicates the steering force found in road and race cars, providing detailed and immersive feedback from the virtual vehicle and track surface directly to your hands.
Its entire housing is constructed from aviation-grade aluminum alloy utilizing automotive-grade painting and laser etching, providing a long-lasting and extremely durable finish. The integrated motor design results in a compact size that still retains a standard 4-hole bottom mount pattern. It can be easily installed onto the vast majority of dedicated rigs and floor stands. In smaller spaces the base can be assembled with a desktop clamp, saving space whilst providing a convenient and enjoyable driving experience anytime, anywhere.
R12 Direct Drive Wheel Base
The R12 motor incorporates cutting-edge technology derived from the R21 base, utilizing a unique slanted-pole design. The rotor is intelligently segmented into three sections with precisely calculated angles, resulting in a revolutionary motor design that significantly reduces cogging torque, torque ripple, electromagnetic vibration, and noise levels compared to conventional motors. With its innovative design, the R12 motor runs seamlessly and quietly, offering unparalleled smoothness and minimal noise and vibration during operation.
The R12 DD base is designed with a high-slot fill rate, utilizing high-permeability magnetic cores and high-strength neodymium iron boron magnets to achieve high energy and low current density characteristics. With its compact body and low power consumption, it delivers maximum torque output, significantly enhancing convenience and temperature control performance.
The motor in the R12 DD base utilizes an 18-slot, 16-pole high-slot design, which features the highest number of poles in its class. This design results in ultra-low torque ripple and exceptional shock absorption performance, delivering a smooth and seamless steering experience.
The R12 DD base utilizes a low back-electromotive force design, which allows for a broad speed range even during high-torque operation. This feature enables high torque output at high speeds and eliminates torque dropouts when quickly correcting direction, ensuring a smooth and consistent steering experience.
Enjoy ultra-low force feedback latency and steering response with our system’s 280MHz processor chip and optimized algorithms. This advanced technology makes it easy for drivers to control their vehicles with precision and ease, delivering an immersive and responsive driving experience. The R12 DD base is powered by MOZA’s latest force feedback filtering algorithm, providing enhanced dynamic feedback that renders oversteer and understeer with greater clarity and richness.
Moza’s advanced system continuously monitors the temperature of the motor and electronic components in real time, employing intelligent temperature control strategies to deliver stable and reliable performance in all circumstances. The base and the steering wheel are connected through an automotive-grade conductive slip ring with a life span of over 5 million revolutions. The unique patented design has exceptionally high stability and durability while achieving infinite high-speed rotation.

The KS is MOZA’s GT-style racing wheel. With its sleek butterfly design and 300mm size, this wheel is built to deliver the ultimate immersion and realism. The wheel is the epitome of versatility, designed to work seamlessly with all MOZA wheelbases while also being compatible with 3rd party wheelbases via an adapter to directly connect the PC.
The MOZA KS offers 70 fully programmable input signals for all driving needs. It features 10 RGB buttons with 0.25mm short travel and 8 customizable colors. It provides lightning-fast responsiveness and authentic force. Transparent button stickers are included for easy customization and to add a high-tech feel to your setup. Then there are three 12-position Rotary Encoders, Two 20-position Thumb Encoders, and 2 Depressible Joysticks. The two joysticks enable full menu navigation, keeping your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.
Furthermore, the KS wheel features 10 high-brightness LED lights that allow customization of up to 8 colors, offering an impressive 100 million combinations. But that’s not all – with the added ability to customize the RPM indicator switch mode and timing, you’ll have complete control over your racing setup.
On the rear, the KS is featuring magnetic paddles that are crafted from durable anodized aluminum, offering a sleek and premium look. They feature non-contact hall sensors with 0.03mm precision for stable and precise control. The paddles have pre-installed silencer pads for smooth and noise-free shifting.
The wheel weighs only 1220g due to its lightweight materials and optimized structure. This low weight improves responsiveness and allows accurate replication of road textures and details. The TPE grips offer a soft and precise feel, along with superior grip and high friction forces for accurate steering control. They are coated with corrosion-resistant material to enhance durability and protect against wear and tear.
MOZA’s quick-release system ensures a seamless wheel transition in seconds. Enjoy a stable, solid connection that works across the whole MOZA ecosystem.
