Know before you buy
The R21 V2 uses an aerospace-grade aluminum housing as a massive heat sink to dissipate thermal energy. This passive design is highly effective at maintaining consistent performance during long sessions without the mechanical noise or potential failure points of a cooling fan.
The carbon fiber rotor significantly reduces the rotational mass of the motor. This lower inertia allows the wheelbase to react faster to force feedback inputs, resulting in sharper, more detailed sensations when catching slides or hitting curbs.
Yes, 21Nm is a significant amount of force that will cause flex in entry-level wheel stands or desks. To experience the full fidelity of the R21 V2, you should mount it to a rigid, aluminum profile cockpit or a high-end tubular frame.
The NexGen 4.0 algorithm is designed to filter out unwanted vibrations while sharpening the communication of track surface details and tire slip. It provides a more refined and realistic connection to the car compared to earlier Moza firmware iterations.
Yes, the MOZA Pit House app allows for real-time tuning of your force feedback settings. You can adjust parameters like torque output, damping, and friction on the fly to suit different car classes or track conditions.
The 360Hz refresh rate ensures that the force feedback data sent from the game to your wheel is updated extremely frequently. This results in a smoother, more granular feel that helps you detect subtle changes in grip and road texture much faster than with lower-refresh-rate bases.
