Pros and cons

16 Nm sustained torque for $529, versus $699 for the 21 Nm R21 Ultra
21-bit magnetic encoder and 600 MHz CPU, specs usually seen on pricier bases
Bottom, front and side mounting in a compact 206 x 140 x 135 mm body, with ports for Moza pedals, shifters, handbrake and e-stop

No PlayStation support: Moza lists it as not officially supported
No rim or pedals included, so the real cost is higher than $529
Xbox use requires the licensed Moza ESX wheel

Watch out: It is not for PlayStation: Moza says PS is not officially supported. The US store showed it as sold out when checked, so confirm stock before planning a build around it.

What the R16 Ultra works with

Works on Xbox Series and PC. On Xbox it needs an Xbox-licensed wheel.
Sold as a base only: you also need a wheel and pedals.
Wheels attach with the Moza quick release.
Pedals plug into the base, which is what lets them work on console.
