My hands are covered in forged carbon

With the RS V2, MOZA reclaims the crown of its mid-range lineup and takes it to the next level. The 13-inch (330 mm) steering wheel features the design of a true GT steering wheel, with an aluminum frame and stitched leather grips that fall naturally under your fingers. What immediately catches the eye is the front plate, the button module, and the paddles made of forged carbon fiber—a material few manufacturers dare to use at this price point. When you pick it up, you immediately sense a dense, rigid piece with absolutely no play, clearly designed to last.

A fully equipped control cockpit

The front panel is spacious without being cluttered. It features 10 backlit mechanical buttons (customizable in 8 colors) with a crisp, distinct click, 2 mini joysticks, and 2 rotary encoders with 20 steps for adjusting mappings, traction control, or brake bias on the fly. At the top, a strip of 10 RGB LEDs serves as a RPM and shift indicator, adjustable to 7 different colors. Everything is configured in the Pit House software, and once you’ve got the setup memorized, you can keep your eyes on the track.

Magnetic shift paddles and dual-clutch transmission

This is one of its major strengths. The forged carbon sequential shift paddles use magnetic sensors, with a short travel and a crisp return that makes every upshift very satisfying. Below them, two analog paddles act as the clutch, with a switch between single-clutch and dual-clutch modes. You can adjust the slip point, and standing starts suddenly become much easier to execute cleanly every time.

On the track, session after session

Mounted on a MOZA base, the feel is crisp and detailed. The shaft provides clear force feedback without becoming noisy. Going into a fast turn, you can feel the downforce building up in the rim, and when braking, you sense the grip limit approaching before the front end loses traction. The 13-inch size requires a bit more arm strength than a small formula wheel, but it’s a perfect fit for GT and endurance racing. During long sessions, the leather and the overall balance help prevent fatigue, and the carbon fiber remains pleasant to the touch. Whether you’re stringing together laps in a tight race or going into a drift, precision is always there.

Compatible bases and games

The RS V2 is designed for the MOZA ecosystem. It mounts on the R9, R16, and R21 bases via wireless communication through the quick-release mechanism, and also works with the entry-level R5 via a wired connection using a rotary ring. When it comes to racing sims, a MOZA base supports major PC titles such as iRacing, Assetto Corsa, and Competizione, as well as the F1 series, rFactor 2, and Automobilista. This is therefore a PC-oriented steering wheel—one you should choose with full awareness if your setup revolves around a MOZA base.

Value for the money

One important detail: in many regions, the RS V2 is priced lower than the original RS was at launch, while offering improvements in almost every respect. For those who already own a MOZA base model or plan to purchase one, this is a logical and consistent evolution—one that’s hard to fault in its category.
