MOZA R5
The original MOZA R5 Racing Bundle remains a strong entry into direct-drive sim racing. Its 5.5 Nm wheelbase, ES steering wheel and SR-P Lite pedals make it a complete PC-ready package for drivers moving from gear- or belt-driven hardware to direct drive.
MOZA R5 Pro
The MOZA R5 Pro Racing Bundle increases peak torque to 6 Nm and moves from a 15-bit to a 21-bit encoder. The higher-resolution feedback system, 600 MHz processor and NexGen 5.0 platform are designed to deliver more detailed and responsive force feedback. The bundle also introduces the ES Lite wheel and SRP Lite2 pedals.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the R5 when you want a proven, compact direct-drive starter bundle and the best value is the priority. Choose the R5 Pro when you want the newer generation of the R5 platform, higher feedback resolution, updated processing and the revised pedal set.
