On paper, Simucube 2 Sport wins hands-down. With 17Nm of torque, it's a beast compared to Moza R5 Bundle's paltry 5.5Nm. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
I've seen users struggle with the Moza R5 Bundle's pedals. The weak link in this setup, it seems. Some have reported issues with the faceplate and pedal angle, which is just plain sloppy engineering. And don't even get me started on the quality control - some folks have received bent or broken wheels straight out of the box. Talk about a deal-breaker. And what's worse? Dealing with the customer support to resolve these issues can be a nightmare. I've heard tales of users being left high and dry, forced to wait weeks for replacements or repairs.
But Moza R5 Bundle isn't the only one with problems. Simucube 2 Sport users have reported some... let's call them "integration issues" with non-Fanatec wheels. Yeah, because who needs compatibility with other brands, right? And don't even get me started on the ecosystem lock-in. It's like they're trying to trap you into their proprietary world.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "What about the Simucube 2 Sport's impressive torque?" Well, let me tell you - all that power comes at a cost. Users have reported issues with installation, which is just plain ridiculous for a premium product like this.
So who gets my money? Well, it's not Moza R5 Bundle. I mean, it's a decent starter kit, but the problems are just too real. For advanced sim racers looking for a high-end experience, Simucube 2 Sport is the way to go - despite its premium price point and lock-in ecosystem.
But here's the thing: if you're just starting out or on a budget, I'd recommend taking a hard pass on both of these options. There are better, more affordable choices out there that won't leave you stuck in limbo with broken hardware or proprietary headaches.
In short, Simucube 2 Sport is the winner here - but only for those willing to pay top dollar and deal with the hassle that comes with it.
