This article covers MOZA R5 バンドル ダイレクトドライブ レーシングシミュレーター.
Overview
The MOZA R5 Bundle is an entry-to-mid-level direct drive racing wheel set designed for PC sim racing. It delivers up to 5.5Nm of torque through a direct drive wheelbase, paired with an 11-inch ES steering wheel, the SR-P Lite two-pedal set, and a desk clamp right in the box. Unbox it, connect via USB, and you're ready to hit the track. The total bundle weighs about 11.14kg, giving it a solid, stable feel when mounted on a desk or rig. This kit is ideal for sim racers upgrading from gear- or belt-driven wheels to their first direct drive system. The 5.5Nm torque is roughly three times what a typical gear-driven wheel can produce, offering smoother, more detailed force feedback and faster response. It strikes a strong balance between performance and affordability.
Connectivity & Compatibility
The MOZA R5 connects to a Windows PC via USB. The MOZA Pit House software lets you fine-tune force feedback, rotation angle, button mapping, and firmware updates. It supports major sim racing titles natively including Assetto Corsa Competizione, iRacing, F1 series, Forza Motorsport, and more, often auto-detecting wheel settings. Console (PlayStation, Xbox) compatibility is not available; this is a PC-only product.
Product Info
The MOZA R5 Bundle was launched in 2023 by MOZA Racing. Pricing on is around ¥69,900. The standard warranty is one year (extended options available). Included in the box: R5 wheelbase, ES steering wheel, SR-P Lite pedals, desk clamp, USB cable, and power adapter. Market positioning is entry-level direct drive; while lower torque than the R9 or R16, the R5 delivers a genuine DD experience at a budget-friendly price point, making it the go-to starter kit for newcomers to direct drive.
Best Use Cases
The R5 Bundle is perfect for racers currently using Logitech G29, Thrustmaster T150, or similar gear/belt wheels who want to step up to direct drive without breaking the bank. It provides all the clarity and immediacy of DD technology in an affordable package. It also suits sim racers who play at a desk rather than a dedicated cockpit. The bundled desk clamp secures firmly to tabletops up to 40mm thick, so you can enjoy realistic force feedback without a permanent rig. Online racers and league participants will appreciate the precision and consistency of direct drive inputs; smoother steering and quicker correction translate directly to faster lap times. Intermediate sim racers looking for an upgrade will find the R5 a satisfying step forward. However, advanced sim racers already using 8Nm+ DD bases or seeking maximum torque for professional simulation should consider the MOZA R9/R16 or other high-end alternatives. The R5 is a wonderful entry point, not an endgame setup.
