Know before you buy
No, the Moza R21 is designed exclusively for PC use. It will not function on gaming consoles.
The 21Nm output provides significantly more force than entry-level gear-driven or belt-driven bases. It allows for high-fidelity feedback that accurately replicates the heavy steering feel of professional race cars, though it requires a very sturdy rig to handle the physical force.
Because of the 21Nm peak torque and the 8.9kg weight of the aluminum housing, you need a dedicated, rigid sim racing cockpit. A standard desk mount is not recommended, as the force generated can cause significant flex or instability.
This safety feature detects if your hands are off the wheel during a high-torque event, such as a crash or a sudden loss of control. It automatically cuts the force feedback to prevent the wheel from spinning violently and potentially causing injury.
You can customize your settings using the MOZA Pit House software on your PC or via the cloud-based mobile app. These tools allow you to fine-tune dampening, force curves, and other parameters to suit your driving style.
The R21 is built with an aviation-grade aluminum alloy housing and an advanced temperature control system designed to dissipate heat efficiently. It is engineered to maintain consistent performance even during extended, multi-hour racing sessions.
