CS V2PMOZA CS V2P — 13-inch round wheel: aluminium frame, forged carbon paddles, 10 RGB LEDs

Aluminium, forged carbon and an honest 13 inches

The MOZA CS V2P is a round wheel 13 inches across — roughly 330 mm, the size used in real race cars. A full rim is the easier choice wherever you have to shuffle your hands: rally, rallycross, touring cars, drifting and road cars in Forza or Assetto Corsa. The frame, face plate and back plate are aviation-grade aluminium alloy and the rim is wrapped in microfibre leather. The shifter paddles are forged carbon fibre running on a non-contact photoelectric sensor, so shifting has no wearing contacts and no bounce. The panel carries 6 mechanical buttons, 2 clickable joysticks and 2 rotary encoders, with a strip of 10 RGB LEDs above them offering 7 colours and a sequential rev indicator. The wheel mounts on MOZA's all-metal quick release and talks to the base over a wired conductive slip ring. MOZA lists the R3, R5, R9 V2 and V3, R12 V2, R16 V2, R21 V2, R21 Ultra and R25 Ultra as compatible; the older wireless R9 V1, R16 V1 and R21 V1 are not. Buttons, colours and telemetry are configured in MOZA Pit House on PC.

1. 01

   A full rim where you shuffle your hands

   A formula rim is fine while the steering angle stays small. The moment you move to rally, drifting, touring cars or an ordinary road car you have to shuffle your hands, and then you want a closed circle. The CS V2P is 13 inches across, about 330 mm: real race-wheel scale, and your palm finds the rim anywhere on it without looking.

2. 02

   Aviation aluminium instead of plastic

   The frame, face plate and back plate are machined from aviation-grade aluminium alloy, so the structure takes the base's feedback without creak or flex. The metal feels cold and dense in the hand — exactly the difference between racing equipment and a gaming accessory. The rim itself is wrapped in microfibre leather, which neither slips nor chills your palms.

3. 03

   Forged carbon and contactless shifting

   The paddles are moulded from forged carbon fibre, with its marbled pattern and high stiffness at low weight. Actuation is read by a non-contact photoelectric sensor: there are no mechanical contacts to wear, the shift point does not drift over time, and the click stays crisp and identical from the first race to the hundredth.

4. 04

   Ten LEDs you actually catch

   A strip of 10 RGB LEDs above the panel gives a sequential rev readout: they fill as you approach the red line, so the shift point registers in peripheral vision. Seven colours are available, and brightness, thresholds and behaviour can be remapped in MOZA Pit House for a particular car. Telemetry is supported, so the LEDs read real data from the simulator.

5. 05

   Off in seconds — but not for every base

   The wheel sits on MOZA's own all-metal quick release: no play when seated, off with one twist of the collar, no separate cable. One detail matters when choosing: the link is a wired conductive slip ring, so the CS V2P is built for the R3, R5, R9 V2 and V3, R12 V2, R16 V2, R21 V2, R21 Ultra and R25 Ultra. MOZA explicitly lists the older wireless R9 V1, R16 V1 and R21 V1 as incompatible.
