MOZA CS Pro Steering WheelvsMOZA ES 280mm Formula Wheel Mod

The Bottom Line

The MOZA CS Pro Steering Wheel is a premium, feature-packed round wheel designed as a complete standalone solution, while the MOZA ES 280mm Formula Wheel Mod is an ultra-budget rim accessory. Choosing between them is a matter of deciding whether you want an all-in-one high-end display wheel or a lightweight, entry-level formula conversion.

Watch out

The CS Pro is heavy at 2.15 kg, which can severely dampen force feedback on weaker bases like the R3 or R5, and some users report loose stitching or QR rattling. Meanwhile, the ES Mod's TPU grips can feel slippery and hard, and swapping the rim requires a tedious process of unscrewing six bolts.

Note

The MOZA ES 280mm Formula Wheel Mod is not a standalone steering wheel. It requires you to already own the MOZA ES steering wheel, as you must bolt this formula rim onto the existing button box.

Why choose MOZA CS Pro Steering Wheel

8.0
Overall Score
  • It delivers superior built-in hardware, including a larger 325 mm diameter, 10 integrated buttons, magnetic shifters, and a built-in display.
  • The round shape and integrated screen make it a highly versatile, premium one-wheel solution for drivers who want to tackle multiple racing disciplines.

Why choose MOZA ES 280mm Formula Wheel Mod

7.5
Overall Score
  • It provides an incredibly budget-friendly entry into formula racing for just $39.00.
  • The lightweight design keeps overall wheel weight down, preventing force feedback dampening on weaker wheelbases.

The Verdict

The MOZA CS Pro Steering Wheel is the clear choice if you want a premium, feature-rich round wheel with an integrated screen and can afford the $329.00 price tag. However, if you are on a tight budget, use a low-torque wheelbase like the R3 or R5, and already own the ES wheel, the MOZA ES 280mm Formula Wheel Mod is a brilliant, lightweight upgrade that preserves your force feedback detail.
