MOZA ESX Wheel
The MOZA ESX Wheel is the official Xbox-licensed steering wheel designed to unlock true direct drive performance on console and PC.
Built specifically to integrate with MOZA direct drive wheelbases, this wheel transforms compatible bases into a fully Xbox-ready sim racing system without adapters or compromises.
Unlike entry-level console wheels that rely on belt or gear-driven systems, the MOZA ESX wheel delivers the full precision and response of direct drive technology.
Every steering input, surface change, and loss of grip is transmitted instantly through the motor of your compatible base, giving you a more realistic and connected driving experience on Xbox and PC.
If you’re building a serious Xbox sim racing setup, this is the wheel that bridges console accessibility with high-performance hardware.

- 22 fully programmable inputs for complete race control
- Customisable RPM LED shift lights with telemetry support

Official Xbox direct drive compatibility
The MOZA ESX wheel is purpose-built to deliver true Xbox compatibility across the MOZA direct drive ecosystem.
When paired with compatible bases such as the MOZA R3, R5, R9, R12, R21 or R25, the ESX wheel enables seamless console performance with no additional adapters.
This makes it one of the most flexible Xbox direct drive steering wheels available. You retain full torque performance from your wheelbase while gaining official console support. Simply connect and race across titles like Forza Motorsport, F1, Dirt Rally and more with the precision that direct drive technology provides.
Direct drive realism on Xbox
Many Xbox wheels use belt or gear systems that introduce delay, flex, and reduced detail. The MOZA ESX wheel changes that by unlocking the direct drive experience on console.
When connected to a MOZA base, force feedback is delivered instantly with no mechanical slack. You feel understeer earlier, catch slides faster, and brake with greater confidence. The difference is especially noticeable in competitive racing scenarios where small corrections matter.
Compared to entry-level Xbox wheels such as the Logitech G923, the MOZA ESX wheel paired with a direct drive base provides stronger torque delivery, cleaner force feedback signals, and more consistent steering response under load.
If you’re serious about improving lap times and immersion on console, this setup sits in a different category.
Durable aluminium construction built for long sessions
The MOZA ESX wheel uses a solid aluminium alloy faceplate and structure for rigidity and strength. This prevents flex during high-torque steering inputs and ensures a consistent feel through every corner.
The ISF PU grips are designed to be sweat-resistant and non-slip, maintaining control during long endurance sessions. The material provides durability without compromising comfort, making it suitable for both casual sessions and competitive racing.
MOZA Quick Release system
The integrated MOZA Quick Release system allows you to swap wheels in seconds. The connection is secure and engineered for stability under torque, ensuring no movement or looseness during aggressive driving.
This makes it easy to alternate between the ESX Wheel and other MOZA rims depending on your racing discipline, all while keeping a solid mechanical connection to your wheelbase.
22 programmable inputs and RPM LED telemetry
The MOZA ESX wheel features 22 programmable buttons, allowing full customisation across different racing titles. Assign brake bias adjustments, traction control toggles, pit limiter activation and more directly from the wheel.
The integrated 10 RGB LED shift lights provide real-time RPM feedback and can be customised via MOZA Pit House software. You can adjust colour, brightness and activation points to suit your preferences and driving style.
The result is a cockpit-style experience that keeps essential information within your line of sight.
MOZA ecosystem integration
The MOZA ESX wheel sits inside a complete performance ecosystem. It pairs seamlessly with:
- MOZA R3 wheelbase for entry-level Xbox direct drive
- MOZA R5 wheelbase for compact direct drive setups
- MOZA R9 V3 and R12 V2 for stronger torque output
- MOZA R21 Ultra and R25 Ultra True Torque for high-end simulation builds
You can combine it with pedal systems like the MOZA SR-P Lite or MOZA CRP2 pedals to create a fully customisable racing rig tailored to your goals.
This modular design ensures your setup can grow as your skills develop.
