Decision summary

The short answer

The MOZA R5 Bundle is our overall pick, with a meaningful but not huge lead. Its direct drive motor and 5.5 Nm of peak torque give it a big, well documented advantage in force feedback, which is the part of a racing wheel that matters most. The G923 claws a lot of that back with Xbox support and a third pedal, so if you play on a console, the G923 is the one that will actually work for you.

Strongest reason to pick the MOZA R5 Bundle

It uses a direct drive motor with 5.5 Nm of peak torque, against 2.3 Nm through the G923's geared dual-motor system. That is more than twice the documented force, with no gears between the motor and the wheel.

Strongest reason to pick the Logitech G923

This version works on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One as well as PC. MOZA lists the R5 Bundle for Windows PC only, so it simply is not an option for console racing.

Confidence is moderate rather than high because a few useful figures, such as the G923's pedal sensor type and the R5 pedals' brake spring design, are not published, so they were left out of the score instead of being guessed.

Why the MOZA R5 Bundle wins

It really comes down to one big advantage pulling against one big drawback.

Force feedback does most of the work. This area carries the most weight because force feedback is how a wheel tells you what the car is doing: grip, weight transfer, a slide starting. The R5's direct drive motor and higher torque add roughly 16.8 points to its lead on their own. Direct drive means the motor turns the wheel shaft itself, so there are no gears to add play, notchiness or rattle.

Console support takes a big bite back. The G923 earns about 11.6 points from platform compatibility, because it runs on Xbox and the R5 Bundle does not. For a PC racer this costs nothing, but it is a real limitation for anyone who might want to race on a console.

The smaller areas mostly cancel out. The G923's third pedal and progressive brake are worth about 1.5 points to it. The R5 picks up about 1.8 points from its quick release and add-on ecosystem and about 0.8 points from its configurable telemetry lights. Add it all up and you get the 6.3 point gap.

Force feedback and steering

This is the heart of any racing wheel, so it carries 40% of the score.

Specification MOZA R5 Bundle Logitech G923 Practical meaning
Drive system Direct drive Dual-motor, geared Direct drive skips the gearbox, which usually means smoother, more detailed feedback with less mechanical noise.
Peak torque 5.5 Nm 2.3 Nm More torque gives stronger forces and more headroom, so small details are less likely to get lost when the big forces kick in.
Maximum steering angle Up to 2700° (adjustable) 900° lock-to-lock 900° already covers road and race cars. The extra range mainly helps with trucks, buses and some drift setups.
Position sensing 15-bit encoder Hall-effect sensor, resolution not stated Both sense the wheel position without physical contact. The G923's exact resolution is not published, so this row was not scored.
USB refresh rate 1000 Hz Not stated in the same terms Shown for reference only. Logitech describes its feedback processing through TRUEFORCE instead.
Feedback features NexGen 4.0 algorithm, iRacing 360 Hz mode TRUEFORCE in supported games TRUEFORCE adds extra detail from game physics and audio, but only in titles that support it.
Heat protection Temperature monitoring Overheat safeguard Both protect the motor during long sessions. Effectively tied.
Category winner: MOZA R5 Bundle

This is a clear, substantial gap. Going from 2.3 Nm to 5.5 Nm is a big jump at this level, and it sits in the range where extra torque still makes a noticeable difference. Past roughly 8 to 10 Nm the gains start to flatten for most home racers, but neither wheel is near that point. TRUEFORCE is a genuine plus for the G923 in supported games, though it cannot make up for the lower peak force or the geared drive.

Platform compatibility

A wheel only helps you if it works with the system you play on. This area carries 20% of the score.

Specification MOZA R5 Bundle Logitech G923 Practical meaning
Windows PC Yes Yes Both are fully at home on a gaming PC.
Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One Not listed Yes The deciding row for console players.
PlayStation Not listed Not on this version Logitech sells a separate G923 version for PlayStation and PC. The one compared here is the Xbox and PC model.
Tuning software MOZA Pit House, plus a mobile app Logitech G HUB on PC Both let you adjust force feedback strength and controls. Shown for reference, not scored.
Category winner: Logitech G923

If you only race on PC, this whole section is a tie and you can skip ahead. If you race on Xbox, it matters more than everything else on this page, because the R5 Bundle will not work there at all.

Pedal set

Pedals shape how consistently you can brake and launch, so they carry 18% of the score.

Specification MOZA R5 Bundle Logitech G923 Practical meaning
Pedals included 2 (throttle and brake). Clutch sold separately 3 (throttle, brake and clutch) A clutch only matters if you use a manual H-pattern shifter, but it is nice to have in the box.
Brake design Not detailed beyond steel build Nonlinear, progressive brake A progressive brake gets firmer as you press, which helps you judge how hard you are braking.
Sensor type Hall sensors Not stated Hall sensors are contactless and resist wear. Not scored because Logitech does not list its sensor type.
Adjustability Adjustable spacing, plate height and output curves Self-calibrating, carpet grip, textured heel rest Moving the pedals to fit your feet is a real comfort and consistency win for the MOZA set.
Build High-strength steel Cold-rolled steel frames and arms Both use steel construction. Effectively tied.
Category winner: Logitech G923 (small edge)

The G923 takes this one because you get a third pedal and a documented progressive brake straight away. The MOZA pedals fight back with much better adjustability, so the gap here is small.

Rim and on-wheel controls

The rim is what you touch the whole time, and its buttons decide how much you can change without letting go. This area carries 12% of the score.

Specification MOZA R5 Bundle Logitech G923 Practical meaning
Rim ES wheel, 11 inches (280 mm), microfiber leather, aluminum frame Hand-stitched leather, anodized aluminum spokes Both use quality materials. Grip feel is personal and is not something specs can settle.
Buttons and dials 22 customizable buttons Full Xbox controls, D-pad and a 24-point selection dial Both give you enough inputs for brake bias, traction control and menus. Effectively tied.
Shift paddles Aluminum alloy Brushed stainless steel Both are metal. Shown for reference.
Shift and telemetry lights 10 LEDs, configurable, with telemetry RPM LED indicator in supported games Configurable lights let you set your own shift points and colors.
Category winner: MOZA R5 Bundle (slight)

This one is close. The R5's more flexible telemetry lights give it a small nudge, but both wheels give you plenty of buttons within reach.

Expansion and warranty

This covers how well each kit can grow with you and how long it is covered. It carries 10% of the score.

Specification MOZA R5 Bundle Logitech G923 Practical meaning
Quick release Yes, works with MOZA steering wheels No, fixed rim Swapping to a formula or round rim later is easy on the R5.
Add-ons MOZA wheels, shifters, handbrakes and upgraded pedals Driving Force Shifter, sold separately The R5 base can stay at the center of a growing setup.
Mounting Desk clamp included, plus 4 bolt holes underneath Built-in clamps Both fit on a desk out of the box. Shown for reference.
Warranty Base 24 months, wheel and pedals 12 months (official channels) 2-year limited hardware warranty The G923 covers the whole kit for longer.
Category winner: MOZA R5 Bundle

The R5's quick release and ecosystem make it much easier to upgrade over time. The G923 answers with longer coverage on its wheel and pedals, which is worth keeping in mind.

Which should you choose?

Choose the MOZA R5 Bundle if...

  • You race on a Windows PC and want the strongest, smoothest force feedback hardware of the two.
  • You plan to upgrade bit by bit, with a new rim, a shifter or better pedals down the road.
  • You want adjustable pedal spacing and height to fit your setup.
  • You drive trucks, buses or drift cars and like having more than 900° of rotation.

Choose the Logitech G923 if...

  • You play on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One, or switch between Xbox and PC.
  • You want a clutch pedal in the box for an H-pattern shifter.
  • You like the idea of a progressive brake without buying an upgrade kit.
  • Your favorite games support TRUEFORCE, and you value a 2-year warranty on the whole kit.

What could change the decision?

  • The MOZA R5 Bundle stayed ahead in all 10 tested scenarios, where each scoring area was moved 20% up or down.
  • The G923 moves ahead if platform compatibility gets roughly 28% or more of the total weight, up from 20%. For an Xbox player, the R5 Bundle is not usable at all, so the G923 is the practical choice regardless of score.
  • The G923 also moves ahead if force feedback drops to roughly 29% of the weight or less, down from 40%.
  • Pedals would need about 54% of the weight before the G923's third pedal and progressive brake could flip the result on their own.

How we calculated the scores

Scoring factor Weight
Force feedback and steering40%
Platform compatibility20%
Pedal set18%
Rim and on-wheel controls12%
Expansion and warranty10%
Total100%

These are baseline weights. Each score comes from verified specs that matter for a wheel and pedal bundle, weighted by how much they shape the buying decision rather than by how many rows each product wins. We also allow for diminishing returns, so extra torque or rotation counts for less once it is already plenty. A few specs were not published for one of the products, so 87.7% of the weighted comparison could be checked on both sides, and the scores were normalized over that verified part instead of counting the gaps as zero. The result is a decision aid, not a promise about feel, comfort or how long either kit will last. Read more here.

What the specifications cannot tell you

Torque and drive type tell you a lot, but not exactly how smooth or detailed each wheel feels in your hands, or how loud it is in a quiet room. TRUEFORCE effects depend on game support, and brake feel and pedal comfort are personal. How steady either setup feels also depends a lot on your desk or rig.
