MOZA Shifters and Handbrakes

The MOZA Racing shifter and handbrake range covers every sim racing discipline that benefits from a physical gearchange or handbrake input. Three shifter options run from the HGP H-pattern and SGP sequential through to the AB9 Active Shifter, which uses dual servo motors to deliver real force feedback through every gear change. The HBP handbrake pairs with any of the three shifters as a standalone add-on or in bundle configurations. All products mount to standard cockpit profiles and desk clamps and connect directly via USB.

Shifters and handbrakes are among the most straightforward immersion upgrades in sim racing. A physical gearchange transforms games that support H-pattern driving, and a handbrake unlocks a dimension of control in rally and drift that analogue inputs cannot replicate. Browse the full MOZA pedals and MOZA steering wheel ranges to build the complete cockpit alongside your shifter and handbrake.


Our take

“The HGP and SGP are solid, well-built shifters that do exactly what you’d expect from MOZA. The AB9 is the one that changes things. Force feedback through a shifter sounds like a spec sheet feature until you drive with it — then you understand why it matters. You feel every gear engage, and you get real shift feedback that reflects what the car is actually doing. We’ve had it running at the Dandenong showroom and the demo sells it every time. If you’re already on a direct drive wheelbase and load cell pedals, the AB9 is the natural next step for a fully immersive setup. The HBP handbrake is one of my favourite things in the showroom regardless of what it’s paired with — the adjustability is excellent and it makes a genuine difference in rally and drift.”

Which shifter is right for you?

The decision between H-pattern, sequential, and active force feedback comes down to the sim disciplines you drive and how much physical feedback you want from the gearchange itself.

H-pattern (HGP or AB9 in H-pattern mode)

H-pattern shifters suit GT racing, touring cars, classic racing, and road car simulation where the driving experience includes selecting individual gear positions by hand. If you race titles that model clutch engagement and gated gearboxes — Assetto Corsa, iRacing GT categories, classic car simulations — an H-pattern shifter with a compatible clutch pedal is the most realistic and immersive configuration. The HGP delivers mechanical H-pattern shifting at an accessible price. The AB9 delivers it with active force feedback that changes character based on the car and conditions.

H-pattern (HGP or AB9 in H-pattern mode)

Sequential (SGP or AB9 in sequential mode)

Sequential shifters suit rally, single-seater, and fast-paced sim disciplines where up and down shifts are the only inputs required. The pull-back pull-forward action is faster than H-pattern and the right choice for drivers who do most of their racing in cars with sequential gearboxes. The SGP is a clean, well-built mechanical sequential. The AB9 adds active feedback to sequential mode, so you feel resistance and force variation through the shift paddle rather than a consistent mechanical click.

Sequential (SGP or AB9 in sequential mode)

AB9 Active Shifter (for everything)

The AB9 covers H-pattern, sequential, and handbrake modes in a single unit, switchable through MOZA Pit House without tools. For drivers who race across multiple disciplines or want the flexibility to switch between modes per car type, the AB9 removes the need to own separate shifters. The active force feedback is the genuine differentiator: 12Nm of peak torque through dual servo motors means you feel every gear engage and every resistance change that the car’s drivetrain is communicating. This is the same feedback principle as active pedals applied to the gearchange.

The MOZA shifter and handbrake range

HGP H-Pattern Shifter

The MOZA HGP is a seven-speed H-pattern shifter built for GT, touring car, classic car, and road car sim racing. Aviation-grade aluminium construction throughout, with tactile mechanical feedback on each gear selection. Compatible with all major PC sim titles that support H-pattern input. Pairs directly with the MOZA HBP Handbrake in the MOZA HGP + HBP Bundle for a combined H-pattern and handbrake configuration.

SGP Sequential Shifter

The MOZA SGP is a sequential paddle shifter built for rally, single-seater, and fast-paced sim disciplines where pull-back and pull-forward shifts are the primary input. Aviation-grade aluminium construction with firm, positive mechanical action in both shift directions. Pairs with the MOZA HBP Handbrake in the MOZA SGP + HBP Bundle for combined sequential and handbrake capability.

MOZA SGP Sequential Shifter

AB9 Active Shifter

The MOZA AB9 Active Shifter is the most advanced shifter in the MOZA range. Dual servo motors deliver 12Nm of peak torque through the shift mechanism, generating active force feedback with every gear change. Aerospace-grade aluminium construction, a high-resolution encoder for precise movement tracking, and full configuration through MOZA Pit House for adjustable resistance, damping, and vibration per car type.

Three modes are available and switchable through Pit House without any mechanical adjustment: H-pattern for GT and road car simulation, sequential for rally and single-seater racing, and handbrake mode for drivers who want active force feedback through their handbrake input. For sim racers who want real shift feedback rather than a consistent mechanical click, the AB9 delivers information through the gearchange that a passive shifter cannot. Pit House profiles allow you to save different shift feels per car or sim title.

HBP Handbrake

The MOZA HBP Handbrake is a standalone hydraulic-style handbrake with a 16-bit high-precision angle sensor for accurate and consistent input across the full pull range. Pressure and travel are both adjustable to match your preferred feel for rally, drift, or parking brake use. Aviation-grade aluminium construction throughout. Connects via USB as a standalone device and mounts to any standard cockpit profile.

HGP + HBP Bundle

The MOZA HGP + HBP Bundle pairs the HGP H-pattern shifter with the HBP handbrake in a single purchase. For drivers building a GT or road car cockpit who want both H-pattern shifting and handbrake capability from day one, this bundle is the most cost-effective configuration. Both units mount independently and connect via USB.

MOZA HGP + HBP Bundle

SGP + HBP Bundle

The MOZA SGP + HBP Bundle pairs the SGP sequential shifter with the HBP handbrake for drivers focused on rally and drift. Sequential shifting for stage-based racing and a handbrake for cornering control in the same bundle. Both units mount independently and connect via USB.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the HGP, SGP, and AB9?

The HGP is a mechanical H-pattern shifter for GT and road car simulation. The SGP is a mechanical sequential shifter for rally and single-seater categories. The AB9 covers both modes plus a handbrake mode, switchable through MOZA Pit House, and adds active force feedback through dual servo motors so you feel real resistance and engagement with every gear change. The AB9 is the right choice for drivers who want the most immersive shift experience or who race across multiple disciplines.

What does force feedback in a shifter actually feel like?

The AB9's dual servo motors generate force through the shift mechanism that varies based on the car's drivetrain state, the gear being selected, and conditions you configure in Pit House. You feel the gear engage rather than just clicking a switch. Resistance can be set to reflect real gearbox character — heavier shifts under load, lighter at speed — and the active motor can communicate vibration and feedback that a passive mechanical shifter cannot.

Can I use the MOZA AB9 as a handbrake?

Yes. The AB9 includes a handbrake mode switchable through MOZA Pit House without any mechanical adjustment. This makes it usable across H-pattern, sequential, and handbrake functions in a single unit.

Do I need a handbrake for sim racing?

For rally and drift categories, a physical handbrake significantly improves corner entry control and realism. Assigning handbrake function to a button or paddle is functional but does not replicate the analogue pull feel that makes the input useful for precise control. For GT and endurance racing, a handbrake is not required. For drivers who predominantly race rally titles such as Dirt Rally 2.0 or WRC, it is a worthwhile addition.

Do MOZA shifters and handbrakes work with all PC sim titles?

Yes. MOZA shifters and handbrakes connect via USB and register as standard input devices compatible with all major PC sim titles including iRacing, Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Dirt Rally 2.0, WRC, rFactor 2, and Automobilista 2. The AB9's active feedback configuration through Pit House requires a MOZA-compatible setup for full integration.

Which bundle should I choose — HGP + HBP or SGP + HBP?

This comes down to the sim disciplines you race most. If you primarily drive GT, touring car, or road car categories, the HGP + HBP bundle gives you H-pattern shifting and handbrake capability. If you primarily drive rally, drift, or single-seater categories, the SGP + HBP bundle gives you sequential shifting and handbrake control. If you want both shift modes and active force feedback, the AB9 Active Shifter covers all modes in a single unit.
