YOUR MOVE, FANATEC! - MOZA R12 DD Wheelbase & KS Formula Wheel Review

Thanks to Microcenter for sponsoring today's video!

Moza has just announced their new R12 Direct Drive Sim Racing Wheelbase and a new more entry-level Formula style KS Steering wheel!

If you've been watching our videos for a while you'd know that 12-14NM is where I consider the sweet spot to be for the best balance between price and performance, and this new wheel creates a cheaper point of entry into the ecosystem with a Formula/GT style wheel, so let's check out these new products and see how they stack up!

Was just looking through their store and was suprised to see a new wheel so came here to see what was going on, always great reviews for new tech.

[DJJaROficial]

13:58 A little note. To change the colors you must move the joysticks not pressing but both towards the central side. (Left stick to the right and Right stick to the left) to enter customization mode, and save.

[Mikeiscoolanduknowit]

I’m literally sitting in the parking lot of a micro center waiting for it to open lol

[RyKnocks]

All we need is console compatibility. Love that they're pushing the envelope and making prices more competitive!

[grayzedynamics]

Glad you got the Microcenter sponsorship. You deserve it mate.

[Yanmak]

Great review, as always!
Just a quick note on one thing you said: Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) is literally the designation of any part made out of carbon fibre. You have a polymer (the resin that acts like the matrix) reinforced with carbon fibre strands. So, when you see a "real" carbon fibre piece, it is a CFRP piece.
Thanks!

This KS wheel is exactly what I was hoping for. I’m still pretty new to sim racing and just couldn’t justify the price of the other two GT wheels.

[hexsapeddy]

I’ve been watching your videos over the last couple days before purchasing a rig… and must I say thank you!Your videos are so amazingly helpful, you don’t miss a single detail. You are a amazing YouTuber and I wish all channels were this quality.
Stay awesome man

[tarushdei]

That KS wheel is absolutely the perfect entry-level GT racing rim I've ever seen.

I have been doing tons of research of what's all available and pricing out what I want for my upgraded rig setup, and was mostly on board with the Moza ecosystem, but that KS wheel just sealed the deal.

I wasn't sure I could afford the GS V2 but wanted something along that line, and was leaning towards the Fanatec Mclaren GT3 wheel and ecosystem because of it.

Now that's been settled completely. Incredible effort from Moza.

[fastforward]

Incredible value. Especially the wheel is something I have been expecting from Fanatec for a while.

[kevin-lrp]

Fair play to Moza I got the R5 Bundle 4/5 Months ago to replace a G920, didn't use the pedals as already had TCLMs. Everything from the ordering, packaging, quality of product, software has all been top notch. The Fanatec stuff was constantly on back order so I went Moza as a 2nd choice but glad I did now. I'm just using a desk mount so going beyond 5NM would probably destroy the desk but if I ever get a proper rig and wanted more strength would defo stick with Moza.

[BOKtober]

Been waiting 2 years to build a sim rig but I think now the time has finally come

[SeaGLGaming]

"Your move, Fanatec." Says everyone, for the last three years.

It's been so long since Fanatec released something new. Waited 2 years for them to release a dashed wheel. I eventually got tired of waiting and got the FSR Wheel when the Moza hub and adapter was released. Love it. Quick release was game changing attached to my DD2, and it's difficult to go back. Been looking at getting another Moza wheel like this one so I don't have to take off the Podium hub and move my pedals and chair around switching to my Fanatec Formula rim. Moza's just been hitting it out of the park with every release.

Only thing that's missing is console support. Would also love to see them add Simhub compatibility with their dashes.

[collinweatherholt]

love the shoutout to the Indianapolis MicroCenter opening soon. Indy can't wait!

[thefrostbyte]

Love to see the Micro Center support. I'm lucky enough to have one near me and their selection and prices are really awesome, and the people are great too. There's nowhere else to really go to see computer hardware, let alone sim hardware, in person. I experienced direct drive for the first time when I was there last weekend and it has me itching to upgrade. The R12 fits the bill really well, so this is tempting for when I upgrade. If Fanatec come out with something in this range though I'll probably go for that since I could then keep my Formula 2.5 wheel with the paddle module that I love. I don't want to settle for 8nm with the CSL DD but the Podium bases are just way too expensive for me. You're right, there's a huge hole in their ecosystem that they should really fill.

[aaronalvarado]

No way moza came out with a banger I am ready to buy this new wheel

[louiienation]

I think I’m going to pull the trigger on the R12! Thank you for this review. Upgraded to an ASR1 rig and now pairing it with Moza R12. Really excited to see how different it’s going to be from My G29 setup.

[migueldebrito]

The wheel I have been waiting for, great price/value option to pair with my r9. Can't wait to use it on ACC. Just ordered from Abruzzi in the UK. ;)

[scorps]

Ordered the KS! I have been waiting for this budget wheel ever since getting my R9 / CS / SRP set 12 months ago. It's great when companies listen to thier customer base and deliver at such a high level. Especially for the cost!

[drchtct]

Hey Will, just wanted to say I like that the sponsor of the video is a store rather than a sim-racing company, improves the reliability and independency for the reviews, hope to see more companies do this, so we can keep seeing these great reviews without you being financially dependent on any competitor in the market

Moza wheels look absolutely fantastic, Fanatec and Asetek should take notes on the how to make great looking formula wheels. If I was Asetek I'd stop whatever work I'm doing on rigs right now and get the La Prima bundles out to the reviewers, and speed up a process to release more wheels. If I was Fanatec I'd fire whoever is responsible for the QR2 delay and get a 12-15nm base at a good price out asap. Moza is taking all the glory right now.
