What does a sim racing brand do after it’s already partnered with Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and Ford? At MOZA Gamescom 2026, the answer was to add a motorcycle to the lineup.
MOZA Gamescom 2026 is the closest thing sim racing has to a car show this year, and it’s a good example of how official partnerships are reshaping the hardware space: four new licensed wheels: four new licensed wheels, a first-of-its-kind MotoGP handlebar, and a haptic pedal kit that’s actually shipping next month. We weren’t on the floor ourselves, but a contact was. Between the photos, video, and MOZA’s own spec sheets, here’s everything confirmed so far.
MOZA is showing all of it at Hall 10.1, Booth A-022. Six simulator stations are running hands-on demos through August 30.
MOZA Gamescom 2026: The MotoGP Handlebar Steals the Show
Every other reveal in this lineup is a wheel. This one isn’t.
MOZA’s first MotoGP-licensed handlebar swaps the steering wheel format entirely for motorcycle-style controls. The spec sheet backs up the ambition:
- 620mm wide
- Magnesium-alloy rear housing, plastic front housing, silicone grips
- Custom aluminum quick-release mechanism
- 10 backlit buttons, one D-pad, two five-way switches
- Six RGB shift LEDs, fully configurable through MOZA Pit House
- Optional MOZA CM2 dashboard attachment
MOZA has already locked in game support for MotoGP 26, GP Bikes, TrackDayR, Live for Speed, The Crew Motorfest, Assetto Corsa, and BeamNG.drive. More titles are in development too, including additional MotoGP games, the RIDE and SBK series, RiMS Racing, TT Isle of Man, and Lane Split.
Here’s what MOZA hasn’t confirmed yet: force feedback torque, a dedicated FFB base, pricing, or a release date. It’s compatible with every current MOZA wheelbase, and MOZA has been explicit that third-party bases aren’t supported. Read that as an ecosystem play, not a standalone product.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS Wheel Returns, Rebuilt
MOZA showed a Porsche 911 GT3 RS wheel at Gamescom 2025 too. It never reached the market. This year’s version is different enough that it’s worth treating as a fresh reveal rather than a rerun.
MOZA built the new wheel from original Porsche CAD data. That gets the proportions and control layout closer to the actual road car. The centerpiece change is the display: last year’s prototype had a screen permanently built into the wheel. This year’s is detachable, so you can run the wheel without telemetry showing and still keep it looking like the real thing. There’s also a functional horn button in the center, a small detail that most sim wheels skip entirely.
No pricing, no spec sheet, no release date. Rumors of a Q1 2027 launch are floating around, but MOZA hasn’t confirmed that window, so treat it as speculation until they do.
This sits next to MOZA’s existing Porsche Mission R wheel, a different product designed for a different purpose. It’s 320mm, competition-shaped, with a 5.4-inch flexible OLED display.
MOZA Gamescom 2026: Two Mercedes-Benz Wheels, Not One
This is the one most people will miss: MOZA didn’t bring one Mercedes-Benz wheel to Gamescom 2026, it brought two.
The one getting the most attention takes its cues from the Mercedes-Benz VISION ONE-ELEVEN concept car. It’s genuinely strange, in a good way. There are five separate displays in total: four small 1.04-inch circular screens sit inside rotary controls, and a 2.85-inch center display hides beneath a magnetic panel. Add eight face buttons, two thumbwheels, and two seven-way switches. The result looks like it’s from a different decade of racing entirely.
The second is the MOZA x Mercedes-Benz GT Wheel. Its shape is more conventional, closer to MOZA’s existing GT and Formula hardware. Both wheels are showing at the MOZA booth and the Mercedes-Benz booth. Five MOZA-powered simulator setups are running there too, as part of Mercedes-Benz’s 140th anniversary celebration.
Neither wheel has a price, release date, full spec sheet, or confirmed platform compatibility yet.
Ford Mustang GTD Wheel Joins the Licensed Lineup
MOZA’s Ford partnership moves past the teaser stage with a wheel modeled on the steering system from the actual Mustang GTD. It’s a round, performance-focused layout with a heavy button count and rear paddle shifters. It shares some design language with MOZA’s existing CS Pro, though the Ford-specific controls and branding set it apart.
No commercial spec sheet, no price, and no confirmed platform support. Don’t assume Xbox or PlayStation compatibility just because MOZA sells other Xbox and PlayStation gear. That’s a MOZA confirmation, not something you can infer from the rest of the catalog.
Everything Else at MOZA Gamescom 2026
The wheels are the headline, but MOZA didn’t stop there. Their new PHF Pedal Haptic Feedback Kit is the one product in this whole showcase with an actual price. It’s €45 for the complete kit, €23 per additional module, and it ships mid-September. It works with the SR-P, SR-P Lite, SRP2, and CRP2 pedal sets. If you’re building a budget setup and want to know where MOZA’s direct drive lineup starts, our MOZA R5 Pro Bundle breakdown is a good place to look.
MOZA’s Racing Lab AI Coach is also on display. On August 29, it’s staging an AI vs. Human driver challenge featuring three-time F1 Esports World Champion Jarno Opmeer and MOZA ambassador Dirk Schouten. MOZA will stream the event live on its own YouTube channel.
What’s Not Confirmed Yet
It’s easy to get swept up in four wheel reveals at once. Worth saying plainly: almost none of this has a price tag.
- No pricing or release dates for the Porsche GT3 RS wheel, the Ford Mustang GTD wheel, or either Mercedes-Benz wheel
- No force feedback specs for the MotoGP handlebar
- No confirmed Xbox or PlayStation compatibility for any of the new licensed wheels
- MOZA’s Gran Turismo World Series partnership does not, by itself, confirm PlayStation support for anything shown here
The PHF kit is the exception. Everything else is a reveal, not a launch.
Final Thoughts on MOZA Gamescom 2026
MOZA Gamescom 2026 brought more licensed hardware than the brand has ever shown at once. The MotoGP handlebar is the piece that actually changes what’s possible in a sim setup, rather than just reskinning what already exists. It’s the only piece here doing something MOZA hasn’t done before, and it’s not the first time this year the brand has stepped outside pure racing. We put their farm sim hardware through its paces earlier this year, and the pattern is becoming clear: MOZA wants a piece of every simulation niche, not just racing. The Porsche, Mercedes, and Ford wheels are all genuine expansions of the licensed lineup. Right now, though, they’re reveals to watch, not products to plan a purchase around.
If you’re deciding what to save for, the MotoGP handlebar is the one worth keeping an eye on. It’s the only piece here doing something MOZA hasn’t done before.
We’ll update this post as MOZA confirms pricing, release dates, and specs.
