MOZA Racing CRP2 vs CRP Pedals: Worth The Upgrade?

MOZA Racing has announced a whole host of new sim racing products at Gamescom 2024. They kicked off the show’s first day by revealing their new CRP2 load cell pedals, a Porsche Mission R steering wheel, a realistic multi-function stalk, and a set of mBooster Active Pedals.

Before Gamescom 2024, the CRP pedals were the top-of-the-range MOZA Racing pedal set. That crown has now been taken by the Active Pedals; however, the upgraded CRP2 pedals look to cement themselves as one of the best load cell pedals you can buy.

I will compare the older CRP pedals with the new CRP2 model in this sim racing guide. I’ll talk about my experience with both pedal sets, what has changed with the upgraded version, and ultimately, whether the newer CRP2 pedals are worth upgrading.

MOZA CRP vs CRP2 pedal spec comparison

Let’s start this comparison by providing an overview of precisely what is different in the specifications of these two MOZA pedal sets.

Pricing differences

The technical spec comparison of the CRP2 and CRP pedals above shows a price difference. This is because the CRP pedals are only available in a three-pedal configuration. Previously, it was impossible to purchase just two pedals.

The newer CRP2 pedals can be picked up with just two pedals, with an adjustable clutch pedal as an optional extra. The price of the two-pedal set is cheaper than the original CRP pedals. However, when you factor in the additional clutch pedal, the price for both pedal sets is the same.

• MOZA CRP2 Pedal pricing
• Two pedal set – £/$399.00
• Additional clutch – £/$99.00
• Complete three pedal set – £/$498.00

Design differences between both pedals

When comparing the new CRP2 pedals and the older set side by side, the first thing you’ll notice is that they look pretty differently. MOZA Racing has changed the design language significantly, and the new design simplifies and modernises the aesthetics.

The older design features a lot of shiny metal on show, with holes throughout the pedal faces and arms. This led to a very aggressive design that looked like the pedals could have come straight out of a real-world car. This approach isn’t too dissimilar from the one that high-end pedal manufacturer Heusinkveld takes with its products.

The newer, upgraded CRP2 pedals use a much slicker design language. The holes and slot gaps have all been removed, and the overall design has much fewer angles. This makes the pedals look more elegant and modernises the whole pedal set.

This isn’t the first time MOZA Racing has modernised its product ranges. They did a similar thing when upgrading the RS steering wheel. The newer RS V2 steering wheel looked very different from the original and became a much more high-end-looking product.

Adjustment differences

There are some big differences between the two similarly named products regarding how you make adjustments. The original CRP pedals could be adjusted in many ways, including individual pedal travel, angle, resistance and positioning.

While this sounded great on paper, the main drawback when adjusting the MOZA CRP pedals was that every adjustment required a set of tools. This meant digging out your box of Allen keys to adjust the travel or position of any part of your pedal set.

MOZA Racing has improved this area greatly with the new CRP2 model. Thanks to the new SRP Inversion Kit, a similar amount of adjustment is available, if not more. The big difference is that some adjustments can now be made by hand.

The list of adjustments that you can make to the CRP2 pedals without tools includes changing the entire damping blocks and the springs inside each pedal. This can be done by simply unscrewing and removing the inner pedal arm and swapping out the springs or damping blocks.

While I’m on the subject of damping blocks, MOZA Racing has created a rather unique way of adjusting the pedals’ damping. You can use a range of springs and damping blocks rated at different stiffnesses.

You have the ability to mix and match which springs and damping blocks you use to create unique sensations when depressing a pedal. For example, you can mix the two to create a Formula 1 or 2 style pedal or use exclusively damping blocks to create an LMP1 experience.

An optional performance kit is available which includes additional dampers and springs for maximum customisation. Mixing and matching these blocks and springs can lead to the pedals feeling rather different.

Conclusion: Worth upgrading?

Ultimately, the upgrades that are included with the CRP2 make these sim racing pedals a much more well-rounded and customisable pedal set. The 200kg load cell and 15-bit precision angle sensor provides an incredibly realistic and accurate braking experience.

If you currently own a set of CRP pedals, the upgrade may not be worth it, as the CRP2 are essentially a spruced-up and more accessible version. However, if you’re looking for one of the best sim racing load cell pedal sets around, the MOZA CRP2 are a great option.
