Which one, and why

The gap here is stark: the SC2 Ultimate is 32 Nm of professional-grade hardware that pro teams and esports facilities buy, topping our fidelity axis, but it costs nearly four times the R25 Ultra. The Moza answers with 25 Nm, its newest motor and a higher overall rubric score thanks to value - flagship torque and refinement for a fraction of the money.

So unless the requirement is professional, the R25 Ultra is the base to buy. It gives you torque most people never max out and refinement that finally put Moza in the Simucube conversation, at a quarter of the outlay. The SC2 Ultimate is the pick only when 32 Nm and the ceiling of build quality are the actual requirement and price is no object.

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 Ultimate

“The Ultimate is the halo. It's the base professional teams and esports facilities buy when nothing else will do, and it's a base most sim racers will never need. The SC2 Pro is the smarter buy for almost everyone.”

Moza R25 Ultra vs Simucube 2 Ultimate: common questions

Is the Simucube 2 Ultimate worth four times the R25 Ultra?

Only for a professional need. The Ultimate offers 32 Nm and tops fidelity, but the R25 Ultra delivers 25 Nm and Moza's newest motor for a quarter of the price - and scores higher overall on value. For almost everyone the Moza is the far smarter buy.

Who is the SC2 Ultimate for?

Pro teams, esports facilities and drivers who specifically need 32 Nm and the top of the build-quality scale with price no object. For everyone else the R25 Ultra covers flagship needs at a fraction of the cost.

Is 25 Nm on the R25 Ultra enough?

For almost everyone, yes. Twenty-five Nm is at or above the level most sim racers use, so the R25 Ultra rarely leaves you wanting. The Ultimate's 32 Nm is professional headroom, not a level most drivers are missing.
