MOZA HMA150 Launches at $2,999 and Undercuts D-BOX-Class Motion Rig Pricing

Four years ago, MOZA mostly sold direct drive wheels for PC. On July 28, it announced eight new products at once: the brand's first cockpit motion system, a new flagship wheel, a cheaper starter bundle, a farming-sim controller, and a full set of flight gear. The headline item, the HMA150, costs $2,999 for a complete four-actuator set. That's less than a third of the price of a base D-BOX rig, the long-standing reference point in motion simulation.

Eight products in one day

Everything went on sale the same day, through MOZA's own store and authorized resellers, landing at once across four separate simulation categories: racing, cockpit motion, flight, and farming.

HMA150: MOZA's first full cockpit motion system

The HMA150 extends feedback beyond the wheel and pedals to the entire cockpit. Four actuators reproduce pitch, roll, and heave, including braking dive, acceleration, weight transfer, suspension movement, curb strikes, and road surface vibration. Travel runs to 150mm, speed up to 300mm/s, acceleration exceeds 1G under supported load, and the platform's maximum payload is 350kg. The built-in controller carries an emergency stop and controlled descent protection, and the whole system runs through MOZA Motion Manager, with official presets and manual control over motion range and vibration intensity.

A separate piece, AI Motion, sits inside Motion Manager and analyzes a game's visuals and audio in real time, generating motion effects wherever a title's telemetry is missing or incomplete. MOZA frames it as a complement to telemetry-based feedback rather than a replacement: when game data is available, the system still uses it as the baseline, and AI Motion only fills in where telemetry goes quiet.

The launch also included AI Coach, training software already live in MOZA Pit House. MOZA markets it as the industry's first coaching software capable of actively controlling connected hardware during a training session, with progressive training stages, multiple difficulty modes, and real-time analysis. It's the one item in the entire launch that needs no new hardware purchase, only an existing MOZA Pit House install.

What this actually costs against the competition

Next Level Racing, a brand known for cheaper motion platforms, prices its V3 model at around $3,499, but that's a simpler system that only moves the seat itself. It carries neither four independent actuators nor a 350kg payload rating. The HMA150 lands below even that entry-level segment on price, while carrying specs closer to D-BOX's class.

R16 Ultra and the rest of the lineup

The R16 Ultra replaces MOZA's previous top-tier base and introduces a flat-wire motor for higher torque density in a compact housing, a 21-bit magnetic encoder for precise wheel-position sensing, and a new force feedback interpolation algorithm, MOZA NexGen FFB 4.0, driven by a 600 MHz processor. Entry price is $529.

Alongside the R16 Ultra, MOZA refreshed its entry bundle, the R5 Pro ($399), with a 6 Nm base, an ES Lite wheel, and SRP Lite2 pedals, also available in a truck-sim variant with the TSW wheel for $499. The Farming Control System ($199) is MOZA's first controller built specifically for farming simulation, with a Hall-effect joystick, a responsive throttle, and 46 programmable inputs, officially supported by Farming Simulator 25. Rounding out the launch is a full set of flight gear: the AY90 yoke base ($399) with 4.2 Nm of roll torque, and the MFY Pro yoke handle ($299) with a built-in 4.3-inch touchscreen and 26 programmable inputs.

Why this is more than a list of new products

Four categories at once is a clear signal that MOZA has stopped being a company that builds wheels and bolts on the occasional accessory. The HMA150 enters a category that has effectively belonged to two players, D-BOX and a handful of smaller seat-mover manufacturers, and does it at a price that genuinely lowers the entry point into full-cockpit motion.

The Farming Control System and the AY90/MFY Pro flight gear move into niches MOZA previously left to other manufacturers, like Thrustmaster or Logitech. Not every one of these products needs to sell in huge volume, but their presence in a single launch shows a portfolio wider than a typical racing-wheel manufacturer's.
