What it is
The MOZA FSR2 is a 280mm formula wheel at $649 with a 4.3-inch touchscreen, fully customisable UI, and a 1.3GHz quad-core processor driving it. The frame is 5mm 3K twill carbon fibre (not forged, not composite, proper layered twill), with an aerospace aluminium back plate and perforated microfibre leather grips. Six paddles total: carbon fibre magnetic hall sensor shifters plus dual clutch. Ten buttons, two rotary encoders, three thumb encoders, two seven-way switches, and an all-aluminium quick release. Works with every MOZA base, and third-party bases via the MOZA hub adapter.
This is MOZA’s flagship formula rim. It competes directly with the Fanatec Podium Steering Wheel BMW M4 GT3 and starts eyeing Ascher Racing territory.
Who it’s for
Dedicated open-wheel and prototype racers who want real telemetry on-wheel without spending Ascher F28-SC money. If you run F1 24, iRacing Formula Vee through to LMDh, or ACC GT3 with formula-style ergonomics, the FSR2 is built for you. The six paddles (shifters plus dual clutch) make standing starts and heel-toe braking via clutch paddles a genuine workflow rather than a gimmick.
In use
The 4.3-inch screen changes the experience. Compared to the Vision GS’s 2.85-inch circle, this is a proper rectangle with enough real estate to display delta, fuel, lap count, tyre temps, and brake bias simultaneously. The UI is fully customisable through Pit House, and the quad-core processor keeps page transitions smooth. During a 45-minute iRacing stint, I would trust this screen over a glance at a secondary monitor.
The 5mm 3K twill carbon fibre frame is rigid. No flex, no creak, even under hard FFB loads on an R16 or R21. At 280mm the wheel is small enough for fast lock-to-lock inputs but large enough that your hands are not cramped around the grips. The perforated microfibre leather breathes better than solid microfibre, which matters in longer sessions.
Six paddles sounds excessive until you map them. Left and right shifters on the primary position, dual clutch on the secondary, and the third pair free for DRS, overtake mode, or pit confirm. Having all six as magnetic hall sensor units means consistent feel across every paddle, no mixed-mechanism weirdness.
The two seven-way switches are particularly useful. Each gives you five directions plus push, so that is 12 inputs from two thumb controls alone. Combined with the rotary and thumb encoders, you can manage every in-sim menu without lifting a finger from the rim.
What to watch out for
$649 is a lot for a wheel rim. At this price, the Fanatec Podium BMW M4 GT3 exists, and so do secondhand Ascher options. The FSR2 needs to justify itself on build quality and screen utility, and for the most part it does, but the competition is fierce.
The all-aluminium QR is solid but adds weight to the front of the assembly. On lighter bases (R5, R9), this shifts the inertia balance. Pair the FSR2 with an R12 or above for the best dynamic range.
MOZA’s Pit House software is required for screen customisation. It works, but it is Windows-only and the learning curve is steeper than Fanatec’s FanaLab. Budget an evening for initial setup.
No wireless on this one. The Vision GS gets wireless, the FSR2 does not. You will have a coiled USB cable, which is fine but feels like an odd omission at this price point.
Verdict
MOZA’s best wheel, full stop. The 4.3-inch screen is genuinely useful rather than a novelty, the six-paddle layout is well thought through, and the twill carbon fibre frame feels like it belongs on a more expensive product. The lack of wireless and the Pit House learning curve are the only real friction points. For formula and prototype racing under $700, this is the one to beat in the MOZA ecosystem.
