Source: us.mozaracing.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by gigaparts.com. The official MOZA Racing US store page confirms the exact model ("MOZA R12 V2 Direct Drive Wheel Base") and its spec sheet: FFB Drive System Direct Drive, Peak Torque 12 N·m, Platform PC, Weight 7.5 kg, Fixing Method 4-hole bottom mount with Desk Clamp Optional, and a base-only "What's in box" (no wheel rim). GigaParts (US retailer, SKU JS0645) corroborates the identical spec table and lists a regular price of $429.00 (instant-rebate price $399.00, exp. 07-15-2026), while the directdrivewheels.com review confirms the "standard Moza quick release", PC-only native platform (Xbox only via a licensed ESX rim, no PlayStation), and June 2023 as the R12's ship date. maxRotationDeg is recorded as "unlimited" per methodology since the R12 is a mechanically unbounded direct-drive base (GigaParts spec: "Max Wheel Rotation: Limitless"; MOZA lists a 90~2700° software-adjustable range); holding torque and the USB connector type (USB-C vs USB-B) are not disclosed on any fetched page, so both are null.
