MOZA R25 Ultra Direct Drive Wheel BasevsSimucube 3 Pro Direct Drive Wheelbase

The Bottom Line

The MOZA R25 Ultra Direct Drive Wheel Base delivers flagship-class power at a highly competitive price point. In contrast, the Simucube 3 Pro Direct Drive Wheelbase targets purists willing to pay a massive premium for ultra-refined force feedback.

Watch out

The Simucube 3 Pro suffers from ecosystem lock-in due to its required Simucube Link Hub and lack of a USB passthrough on the quick release. Meanwhile, the MOZA R25 Ultra lacks a USB passthrough on the base, forcing third-party wheel users to run a separate coiled cable to the PC.

Note

Some users report that the MOZA R25 Ultra feels less responsive and lively at mid-torque settings between 10 and 14 Nm. Additionally, early adopters of the Simucube 3 Pro have faced software teething issues with the unfinished Simucube Tuner software.

Why choose MOZA R25 Ultra Direct Drive Wheel Base

8.8
Overall Rating
  • Superior physical specs: It features a lighter 9.1 kg chassis, more versatile mounting options (Bottom, Front, Side), and a wider 2700° maximum rotation.
  • Exceptional flagship value: At $899.00, it provides a highly detailed, smooth driving experience via its flat-wire motor without the high price premium of its competitor.

Why choose Simucube 3 Pro Direct Drive Wheelbase

8.0
Overall Rating
  • Unmatched feedback detail: It excels at communicating rear-end rotation and trail braking limits with incredibly smooth and responsive force feedback.

The Verdict

The MOZA R25 Ultra is the clear choice for most racers, offering incredible value, lighter weight, and superior mounting options for $899.00. However, if you demand the absolute best in force feedback fidelity and do not mind the $1,499.99 price tag and ecosystem lock-in, the Simucube 3 Pro remains a premium option.
