I’ve spent the last week testing MOZA Racing’s latest additions to their growing stable: – the FSR2 Formula sim steering wheel and the new, very crisp CM2 digital dashboard. Having spent a chuck of time getting to grips with Moza’s new toys, I’m impressed by how far MOZA has come in terms of build quality and features.

The past year seems to have been game-changing for Moza.

FSR2 Formula Wheel – Premium Feel Meets Smart Design

The moment you mount the FSR2 wheel, the quality is apparent. The perforated microfiber leather grips feel premium, while the 5mm 3K twill carbon fiber faceplate adds a genuine motorsport touch that’s not just for show – it provides excellent rigidity.

What’s striking is the 4.3-inch touchscreen display. It might not be the highest resolution display on the market, offering a basic 480p, however it is crystal clear and absolutely des the job. it’sa a low res, but high quality display and looks every bit the part.

So, a crystal clear display and as a divide the FSR2 is quick and responsive. There’s a 1.3GHz quad-core processor onboard which is clearly taking the new job in it stride. The display and touch sensitivity are useful for quick settings changes between practice sessions, something that’s usually more cumbersome with traditional button-based interfaces or getting on the mouse.

The control layout is where this wheel has plenty to offer. The six-paddle setup might sound excessive, but in modern sims where you’re managing DRS, dual clutches, and other systems, having dedicated paddles is a nice to have. The magnetic shifters provide satisfying tactile feedback -they very similar to Fanatec’s podium paddles in terms of feel.

Button box features I’ve found particularly useful on THE FSR2:

  • Dual 7-way switches that make menu navigation a breeze
  • 10 backlit mechanical buttons with just the right amount of travel
  • 5 rotary encoders plus 2 thumb encoders, perfectly positioned for quick adjustments
  • 6 RGB status lights that are actually visible in your peripheral vision

CM2 Dashboard – A Pleasant Surprise

The CM2 dashboard launches January 16th at $199/€219/£195, and, after using it for a week, I think it’s a very good deal if you’re already a Moza wheelbase owner. Have a look at the top casing of your R5,9,12 and see if there are two predrilled holes on the chassis. Those are for this display!

The 720p display is exceptionally bright and clear – even in a well-lit room, all information is easily readable at a glance. Like the FSR2 I think Moza have stuck with lower resolution screen technology, but absolutely chosen contrast and display quality. The CM2 is exceptionally clear to read.

What’s really impressed me is the CM” build quality. The aluminum construction feels solid, and the ultra-slim design looks clean on the rig. The height-adjustable mounting system is well-engineered – once set, it stays firmly in position even during aggressive driving.

MOZA’s UI customization system is a standout feature. I’ve already created several custom layouts for different racing disciplines, and the ability to share these through MOZA’s community platform adds real value. The interface is intuitive, and switching between layouts mid-session is seamless.

Real-World Performance

I’ve tested both devices extensively in iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, and F1 23. The integration with MOZA’s latest Pit House software (version 1.2.9.11+) is smooth, with no noticeable input lag or display latency.

The FSR2’s button layout has become second nature after just a few days, and the dual clutch paddles are particularly effective for race starts. I’ve found the thumb encoders perfect for brake bias adjustments – they’re easily accessible without moving your hands from the optimal driving position.

The CM2’s display performance deserves special mention. The refresh rate keeps pace with the action, and the viewing angles are excellent – something that’s crucial for a dash display that’s not always directly in your line of sight.

Final Thoughts

The FSR2 is a good quality steering wheel and stands toe-to-toe with premium offerings, particularly from Fanatec while the CM2 sets a new standard for standalone dash displays in its price range. All of these items are primarily designed to work with other Moza gear, so I would class all of these new devices as great upgrade options for Moza sim racers.

The build quality is exceptional, the features are well-implemented, and most importantly, they enhance the sim racing experience in meaningful ways. These aren’t just fancy additions to your rig – they’re properly engineered tools that can genuinely help improve your performance and enjoyment.

MOZA Racing has clearly done their homework, and it shows in the final products. While pricing for the FSR2 is yet to be announced, based on the quality and feature set, it should be competitive in the premium formula wheel market.
