What the reviewers found

Verbatim from the independent reviews behind each score.

Moza R25 Ultra

“MOZA Racing is back at the high end. With the new R21 and R25 Ultra DD wheel bases the brand has produced flagship hardware that finally answers the question of whether Moza can compete with Simucube on refinement, not just price.”

Richard Baxter

Simucube 2 Sport

“Simucube is the high end choice and they own that position. They're not trying to compete with Moza or Simagic on price, and they're not chasing the entry-level crowd Fanatec dominates.”

Richard Baxter
