Pros and cons

Complete direct-drive kit for about what a CSL DD base costs on its own
5.5 Nm is noticeably stronger than the R3 and fine for most road and GT cars on a desk
Moza QR and Pit House software open up the whole Moza rim and pedal range later

PC-only as bundled; Xbox needs the separate ESX rim
SR-P Lite pedals have no load cell
No PlayStation support at all

Watch out: PC only as sold. For Xbox you'd add Moza's ESX rim; no Moza product works on PS5.

What it feels like

Strength
Detail
Smoothness
Noise
Heat

Strong enough to feel weight transfer and curb hits, but not enough to overpower you.

Pedals feel light and travel-based, with no hard pressure on the brake.

Clamped to a desk it can shake in hard corners; a stand keeps it steady.

Like a hot hatch with good steering: lively and informative, but not a heavy race car.

What the R5 works with

Works on Xbox Series and PC. On Xbox it needs an Xbox-licensed wheel.
In the box: Moza ES Steering Wheel (R5 bundle) and Moza SR-P Lite Pedals (R5 bundle).
Wheels attach with the Moza quick release.
Pedals plug into the base, which is what lets them work on console.

Our take

AI analysis of public information, not a hands-on review.

The R5 bundle is the cheapest way into real direct drive: a 5.5 Nm base with a 15-bit encoder, the 11-inch ES wheel with 22 programmable buttons, SR-P Lite two-pedal set, table clamp, power adapter and tools. For a first rig, the appeal is that nothing else is required to start driving on a PC. Setup is plug-and-play, and Pit House software handles force tuning and firmware.

The tradeoffs are real. The SR-P Lite pedals have no load cell, so braking relies on travel and feel rather than pressure, and many owners upgrade them first. The ES wheel is a simple round rim, fine for GT and road cars but not a formula-style experience. The base is compact, but the supplied clamp suits a sturdy desk better than a flimsy one, and 5.5 Nm can shake a weak mount. A wheel stand or rig is a better long-term home.

Platform support needs care: the standard ES bundle is listed as PC only. Xbox needs the Xbox-licensed ESX rim, and no Moza product works on PlayStation. Within the Moza ecosystem, you can later add rims, a load-cell brake, a shifter or a handbrake.

Questions buyers ask

Does the Moza R5 bundle work on Xbox or PlayStation?

The standard ES bundle is sold for PC. Xbox needs Moza's Xbox-licensed ESX rim with a Moza base, so check the Xbox-specific bundle. No Moza product supports PlayStation.

Can I mount it on a desk, or do I need a rig?

The included clamp attaches the base to a sturdy desk or table. For stronger forces or a stable setup, a wheel stand or rig is better, and the base has bolt holes underneath for that.

What should I upgrade first?

Most buyers replace the SR-P Lite pedals with a load-cell brake pedal set. Moza also sells other rims that fit the same quick release, and the base's pedal port keeps a Moza pedal wired through it.
