MOZA Racing has launched an even more affordable variant of its entry-level bundle: The R3 now comes as a Pc-only version, dropping the price further.

The MOZA Racing R3 Bundle is already a rather affordable entry point into the world of Direct Drive wheel bases in its standard Xbox-compatible version, but the manufacturer now has an even cheaper version of it on offer: The PC-only variant of the bundle may not come with compatiblity with Microsoft's console, but it will be compatible with even more wallets at €329 / $299 (plus taxes).

As with the standard R3 Bundle, which officially launched at the OverTake office this summer, the R3 wheel base, ES Lite steering wheel, SR-P Lite pedals and desk clamp are included. To us, the very compact shape of the wheel base itself stood out when we tested it.

Additionally, despite the relatively low peak torque, the detail of the FFB is quite nice, and a great starting point for new sim racers. Depending on where you look, a Logitech G923 bundle comes at a similar or even much higher price compared to the R3 PC-only bundle. Granted, the Logitech pedal set comes with a clutch pedal while MOZA's does not, but the Direct Drive wheel base has a clear advantage over the gear-driven tech in the G923.

PS4/5 or XBOX would make sense, but for spoiled PC crowd R3 is a bit let down powerwise, I expect people looking at R5 and above.
 
This is a fantastic way to enter into simracing, they are giving entry point Logitech gear a run for their money (provided that the hardware is somewhat similar in reliability).

I've heard various people saying that the R3 is better than the R5 due to the latest version of the software. I don't know if they updated the R5 in the meantime tho.
 
I'm waiting for a R3 bundle compatible with PC and PS5 so i can play GT7 and Assetto Corsa on PC aswell!
 
My 2 cents on Moza. Got my new R21 less than a month ago and it's already dead, not turning on. Loved it, while it worked. Never had any issues with gear in 20 years.
 
No sens to 2,9 nm DD . An used CSL DD brushless is around 100 or a CSW 2.5 for 6/8 nm are the best choices .
 
R5 here and its amazing quality and durability for a cheap price. Simgarage has an excellent review on Moza. I'll never spend more money on expensive TM, Fanatec and Logitech gear.

It is not 2.9, it is advertised as 3.9 nm. My R5 is advertised as 5.5 peak, but the constant holding torque does not feel any stronger than my G27. I have a digital torque gauge, need to engineer a way to mount it to my G27 and R5, see what the actual holding torque is.

Far from it. The competition offers a clutch pedal as well, for less money. Where i live, this costs almost 500 euros.
For 100 less you get a T300 RS.
For 150 less you get a G29 or a PXN V10 (not sure if it's worth it though).
For 200 less you get a G923 or T248.
Don't get me wrong, it might be a great wheel (speculating, i have no experience with these) but it's way too expensive for what it offers, for "entry point" level.
 
This is the reason why the Thrustmaster T598 isn't worth it if you're on PC.
Or get the R5 bundle, the T598 still ain't worth it!!!
 
I can see it setting a new standard as here in Australia a G29 is $550 and the new R3 is the same price. Of course you will be able to get deals on both of them at times. The G29 is PS compatible and works with older games, but if you only use PC only I would have to say go with Moza.
