To round out a very productive Gamescom, MOZA Racing revealed its most premium sim racing pedal to date. The MOZA mBooster Active Pedals are a set of high-end force feedback pedals, set for a showdown with the Simucube Active Pedals.
The mBooster pedals feature an advanced electronic control system, that MOZA Racing is saying “marks a new era in sim racing with our active pedal, delivering unmatched precision and authentic driving experience.“
In this guide, I’ll explain the mBooster Active Pedals and how they differ from MOZA’s CRP2 pedals and Simucube’s ActivePedal. I’ll also discuss the price, specifications, and release date.
MOZA revealed the mBooster Active Pedal in a busy Gamescom, alongside a range of other sim racing products such as the CRP2 pedals (read our comparison between the CRP and CRP2 pedals) and a gorgeous Porsche Mission R steering wheel.
The Active Pedals on show at Gamescom feature a large cylinder behind the brake pedal, which we know contains the electronic system that powers the pedal’s feedback. Inside the cylinder is a motor capable of producing a range of force feedback effects.
These effects are generated by an internal motor that uses in game telemetry to translate the feeling of sitting in a car to your sim racing setup.
Internally, the mBooster pedal features dual 200kg load cell pressure sensors allowing for a maximum force detection of 400kg. That is double the force that can be detected in the upgraded CRP2 pedals, and a lot more than the Simucube ActivePedal that limits pressure detection to 150kg.
Much like the MOZA CRP2 pedals that MOZA also announced at Gamescom, the Active Pedal uses a 15-bit high-precision range sensor to provide highly accurate braking modulation and precision.
As well as a range of force feedback, the mBooster Active Pedal is also capable of software-based damping adjustments, meaning you shouldn’t need any tools to adjust the pedal. Instead, all adjustments will be made in MOZA’s Pit House software.
From the images we have seen of the internal structure of the Active Pedal, it appears MOZA has learnt a lot from Simucube and their ActivePedal. Both the Simucube ActivePedal and the mBooster pedals use a ball screw design to produce the force feedback effects, and this should result in incredibly smooth feedback from the mBooster pedal.
From our initial look at Gamescom and the images that MOZA has provided, it appears that the mBooster pedal will be an individual pedal that can be attached to other MOZA pedals to create a full pedal set.
The unit on show at Gamescom shows the mBooster pedal configured as a brake pedal while attached to the CRP2 pedal base with the CRP2 throttle. The base itself is slightly longer due to the additional size of the mBooster pedal.
This adaptability and ability to be used alongside other MOZA sim racing pedals is a smart move, as it should make the mBooster pedal more accessible for those who already own a MOZA pedal set.
The mBooster pedal itself has a few connection points available. There are multiple ports, one for the clutch pedal, one for a throttle, and another for connecting to the MOZA base. There is also a power connection, as the mBooster pedal requires its own power brick. These connections allow the mBooster pedal to be used with other MOZA Racing pedals as well as third-party sim racing pedals.
Below is the complete technical specification for the MOZA Active Pedal.

We haven’t had the chance to review the mBooster Active Pedals yet, so it is hard to compare them to other high-end sim racing pedals, such as the Simucube ActivePedal. (We have reviewed the ActivePedals, which you can watch the review for below.)
If you are interested in comparing the MOZA Active Pedals and Simucube ActivePedal, we do have a comparison of the two using all of the information we have so far.

Currently, MOZA hasn’t announced an official price for its mBooster pedals. However, a similar product, the Simucube ActivePedal, costs over $2000, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see the MOZA Active Pedal cost between $1000 and $2000.
The mBooster Active Pedal can be individually mounted, or mounted to a MOZA CRP2 pedal base. This allows you to use them with any other sim racing pedal, or as part of a MOZA pedal setup.
If you purchase multiple MOZA mBooster pedals, you can use them together, adding up to three Active Pedals. This lets you experience all of the feedback including throttle, brake and clutch effects.
