MOZA GS V2P GT Wheel review: the carbon-and-leather GT rim
The MOZA GS V2P puts a 300mm forged carbon fiber GT rim on a MOZA base for ~$399, and it’s frequently on sale around $369. The rim, face plate, and shifter paddles are all forged carbon, the grips are perforated microfiber leather, and you get 28+ programmable inputs without paying for a built-in display.

Who it’s for
Section titled “Who it’s for”A carbon-and-leather GT rim for someone already running a MOZA base who doesn’t want to pay for a dashboard.
Buy it if:
- You’re on a MOZA direct-drive base (R5 through R25 Ultra) and want a step up in rim material.
- You want the GT input set: 5 rotaries, 2 thumb encoders, 2 joysticks, RGB backlit buttons, and dual clutch paddles.
- You read telemetry on an external dash, so a built-in screen would be wasted money.
Not the one if you want a screen in the rim (look at the Fanatec ClubSport GT V2) or you’re on a non-MOZA base, where you’d want the cross-brand Fanatec ClubSport Universal Hub V2.
Build and feel
Section titled “Build and feel”Forged carbon and leather. The rim, face plate, and shifter paddles are forged carbon fiber, 5mm at the rim and 3mm at the paddles. The grips are perforated microfiber leather over the carbon, so the parts you hold feel like a real GT3 wheel rather than molded plastic. The composite back plate keeps weight down behind the hub.
Inputs where you reach. The layout is built for GT and endurance stints. Five rotary encoders and two depressible thumb encoders sit within thumb travel for traction control, brake bias, and ABS, while two joysticks handle menu and pit-screen navigation. The 10 RGB buttons are mechanical and backlit so you can find them in a dim cockpit, and you assign all of it in MOZA Pit House.
Paddles and rev strip. Behind the rim are two magnetic shifter paddles and two analog clutch paddles that support a dual-clutch bite point for clean standing starts. The only light is a 10-bead RGB LED strip across the top with 8 selectable colors, set as a rev and shift indicator in software. There is no screen, so anything beyond shift lights lives on an external dash.
Watch-outs
Section titled “Watch-outs”- No onboard screen. You get a 10-LED rev strip and nothing else, so fuel, lap delta, and tire temps need an external dash. Budget for one if you rely on those mid-race.
- MOZA-only quick release. The wheel locks to the MOZA ecosystem. There’s no standalone USB or PC mode and no cross-brand quick release, so it requires a MOZA base to function at all.
- No V1 wireless bases. It will not run on the older R9 V1, R16 V1, or R21 V1. Confirm your base is on the supported list (R3, R5, R9 V2/V3, R12 V2, R16 V2, R21 V2/Ultra, R25 Ultra) before buying.
Alternatives to consider
Section titled “Alternatives to consider”- Simagic GT Neo: ~$289 GT rim, cheaper if you’re on a Simagic base and don’t need forged carbon and leather.
- Fanatec ClubSport GT V2: ~$515 GT wheel for the Fanatec ecosystem, the pick if you want a richer build and rim hardware at premium price.
- Cube Controls GT Pro V2: ~$849 if you want a boutique GT rim and will pay flagship money for it.
- Fanatec ClubSport Universal Hub V2: ~$370 with QR2, the route to mounting a custom GT rim across brands instead of staying MOZA-locked.
Confirm your MOZA base is on the V2/V3-era supported list, then map the rotaries and clutch paddles in MOZA Pit House before your first stint.
Frequently asked questions
Does the MOZA GS V2P have a screen?
No. There is no onboard dashboard display. It has a 10-bead RGB LED rev/shift strip with 8 selectable colors, configurable in MOZA Pit House. For telemetry you need an external dash, so price one in if you read fuel, lap delta, or tire temps on the wheel. See the button-box and accessory notes for the usual add-ons.
Which wheelbases work with the GS V2P?
MOZA bases only, over the all-aluminum MOZA quick release: R3, R5, R9 V2/V3, R12 V2, R16 V2, R21 V2/Ultra, and R25 Ultra. It does not work on the older wireless V1 bases (R9 V1, R16 V1, R21 V1), and there is no cross-brand quick release. If you're picking a base, start with the Moza R5 and the wheelbase brands compared page.
GS V2P or Simagic GT Neo?
The GS V2P costs more (~$369-399 vs ~$289) and spends it on a full forged carbon rim, perforated microfiber leather grips, and a deeper input set. The Simagic GT Neo is the cheaper GT rim if you don't need the carbon and you're already on a Simagic base. Both are GT-style, so the deciding factor is which base ecosystem you live in.
How many inputs does the GS V2P have?
28+ programmable inputs: 10 backlit mechanical RGB buttons, 5 rotary encoders, 2 depressible thumb encoders, 2 universal joysticks, 2 magnetic shifter paddles, and 2 analog clutch paddles. MOZA's marketing headline says 72 Inputs, but the spec sheet describes the 28+ figure. The wheel button-mapping guide covers how to assign them.
