While they may look the same as older models, the upgraded new Moza Racing R16 and R21 wheel bases feature the “NextGen Force 2.0” feedback system first available on the R12 model.
This should give you more clarity and richness, with less granularity. So you don’t get any more power and torque, but the revised version of the force feedback filtering algorithm should let you notice more subtleties when racing. And that gives you slightly more information and control, particularly when it comes to oversteer and understeer.
Along with the improved force feedback, the new R16 and R21 bases also get more options to fit on your sim sig, as they’re now compatible with the Moza front mounting brackets. And at the rear, you get multiple new connection posts.
And they also use dual mode wheel communication with any Moza wheel, which means both wired and wireless connectivity, which enables greater precision and reliability. The military-grade concutive slip ring has a claimed lifespan of more than 5 million revolutions.
It’s probably not enough for anyone to consider swapping their existing R16 or R21 for a newer model, especially as it’ll still be a fairly recent purchase. But it could provide some extra justification in picking Moza over alternatives from other brands.
As before, you still get 16 Nm peak torque from the R16, and 21Nm from the R21, with 262,144 points of resolution, an aluminium alloy body with a two-tone paintscheme, ultra low static torque and configuration via the Moza Pit House app. Along with the hands-off protection function to stop movement and centre the wheel when you take both hands away.
The Moza Racing R16 wheel base costs £799.00 direct from the factory, while the R21 is priced at £999.00. UK retailers stocking the Moza range include Overclockers.
