True Direct Drive without breaking the bank

The MOZA R9 V2 and CS V2P bundle is designed for a specific audience: PC sim racers who want to make the switch to a serious direct-drive setup without opting for an oversized system. It includes the R9 V2 base, a 9 Nm direct-drive motor, paired with the CS V2P steering wheel, a full-size GT rim. The idea behind the bundle is clear: to offer a seamless entry point where the base and wheel are perfectly matched, with no need to mix and match parts or use adapters.

R9 V2, 9 Nm in a compact unit

The base model delivers 9 Nm of peak torque at 180 W of power, all housed in a compact (240 x 157 x 124 mm) chassis made of aerospace-grade aluminum alloy. This compact design is a real selling point; it fits just as easily on a desk stand as it does in a cockpit without requiring a bulky structure. The USB connection operates at 1,000 Hz, rotation is unlimited, and control is handled via the MOZA Pit House app, which centralizes the adjustment of force feedback, curves, and profiles on a per-game basis. Unlike a belt-driven base, the Direct Drive architecture eliminates mechanical play, resulting in greater precision and consistency in the transmitted torque.

CS V2P, a GT wheel built to last

When it comes to the steering wheel, the CS V2P is designed as a versatile GT. The rim measures 13 inches (about 33 cm)—a natural diameter for Grand Touring—with aluminum front and rear plates and a microfiber grip. The construction exudes solidity, with a rigid frame and well-balanced weight distribution. The only thing to keep in mind is that microfiber wears out faster than genuine leather over months of use with sweaty hands.

Controls and commands: the real highlight

What sets the CS V2P apart are its forged carbon shift paddles with contactless photoelectric sensors. The travel is short and crisp, with virtually no mechanical play—a quality you don’t always expect at this price point. It features six mechanical buttons, two pushable joysticks, two rotary encoders, and two magnetic paddles, plus ten RGB RPM LEDs that can be adjusted via Pit House. The only downside is the number of buttons—six controls fill up quickly once you factor in the speed limiter, headlights, windshield wipers, and MFD pages—but the joysticks and encoders help make up for it when it comes to in-race adjustments.

Compatibility: A Set Designed for PCs

It’s important to be clear on this point to avoid disappointment. This kit is part of the MOZA ecosystem for PC. The R9 V2 is a PC-oriented base, and the CS V2P mounts onto the brand’s current Direct Drive bases using the MOZA metal quick-release mechanism. So this isn’t the right solution for a gamer who plays exclusively on consoles and has no plans to switch to PC. However, for those staying within the MOZA ecosystem, the rim and base are instantly compatible, and assembly is done without a separate cable thanks to the built-in contact.

Who is this bundle for?

This R9 V2 and CS V2P combo is designed for the dedicated PC sim racer who wants clean Direct Drive, a full GT wheel, and a cohesive ecosystem—without aiming for the very high end right off the bat. We appreciate the package’s cohesiveness, the compact and well-finished base, and the impressive paddle shifters. Those looking for a large number of buttons or a built-in telemetry screen will want to look further up the lineup, but for getting started seriously, this is a solid choice.
