This article covers MOZA R3 ダイレクトドライブ 3.9Nm PCのみ対応 ハンコン ペダル バンドル 国内正規品.
Overview
The MOZA R3 is an entry-level direct-drive racing wheel bundle from MOZA Racing, a Chinese sim racing hardware brand. It delivers 3.9Nm of peak torque via a brushless direct-drive motor, offering silent and highly responsive force feedback that surpasses traditional gear- or belt-driven wheels. This bundle includes the R3 DD base, the R3 steering wheel, and the SR-P Lite two-pedal set (accelerator and brake). It is a PC-only solution, compatible with Windows 10 and 11, and is sold as an official Japanese domestic product through and other retailers. For newcomers who want to experience direct-drive realism without breaking the bank, the R3 is a compelling entry point.
Connectivity & Compatibility
Connection is via USB only. A single USB cable links the wheel base to your PC, and the MOZA Pit House software handles all configuration — force feedback strength, wheel rotation angle, button mapping, and more. Supported operating systems are Windows 10 and Windows 11. There is no macOS, PlayStation, or Xbox support. On the software side, the R3 works with virtually all major PC racing simulators, including Assetto Corsa, iRacing, Forza Motorsport, F1 series, rFactor 2, and RaceRoom Racing Experience.
Product Info
The MOZA R3 was released on May 22, 2025. Its street price in Japan is around ¥49,610 (tax included), making it one of the most affordable direct-drive bundles on the market. Positioned as an entry-level product, the R3 sits below MOZA's own R5 (5.5Nm) and R9 (9Nm) models. The lower torque keeps the price down while still delivering the smooth, detailed force feedback that defines direct-drive technology. It is the ideal gateway for sim racing newcomers. The bundle contains: R3 DD base, R3 steering wheel, SR-P Lite pedals (2-pedal set), USB cable, power adapter, and quick-start guide. Warranty details are available on the official MOZA website.
Best Use Cases
First, the MOZA R3 is perfect for gamers transitioning from a gamepad or a cheap gear-driven wheel. The direct-drive motor provides a much more immersive feel — you can sense road texture, tire slip, and kerb rumbles with clarity. The 3.9Nm torque is manageable for beginners and won't cause fatigue during long sessions. Second, it suits users with limited desk space. The R3 DD base is compact and can be clamped to a sturdy desk. You don't need a dedicated racing rig to enjoy it, though a stable surface is recommended given the 11kg total weight. On the flip side, experienced sim racers who already own a 5Nm+ direct-drive wheel may find the R3 underpowered. Console gamers should look elsewhere, as this bundle is strictly PC-only. ## Alternatives
Direct competitors in the entry-level direct-drive space include the Fanatec CSL DD (5Nm) and the Logitech G PRO (11Nm). The Fanatec requires separate purchases for the wheel and pedals, often pushing the total cost higher than the R3 bundle. The Logitech G PRO offers much higher torque but costs roughly three times as much. The MOZA R3's key advantage is its all-in-one bundle pricing. If you want to try direct-drive without a large upfront investment, the R3 is arguably the best value option available today.
Things to Consider
Remember that this is a PC-only product. If you plan to use it with a PlayStation or Xbox, you need a different wheel. At 3.9Nm, the force feedback is adequate for learning and casual play, but serious sim racers may eventually crave more torque. If you are certain you will stick with sim racing long-term, consider stepping up to the R5 or R9 from the start. The pedal set includes only accelerator and brake — a clutch pedal is sold separately. A shifter is also an optional add-on. Check the bundle contents carefully before purchasing. Desk stability matters. The R3 base weighs about 11kg, and the force feedback can cause a lightweight or wobbly desk to shake. A sturdy desk or a dedicated wheel stand is recommended. Finally, the MOZA Pit House software is not available in Japanese, but its interface is intuitive enough for most users. Firmware updates and tuning may require a bit of patience initially, but the community and official support are helpful.
