MOZA Lamborghini Revuelto Wheel Review

It may have taken around 5 years, but MOZA has finally released its first true road car steering wheel. And boy, did they choose a good one to start with. This Lamborghini Revuelto wheel is a stunning example of how a road car steering wheel for the sim should be.

Yes, it has some flaws, and they generally come in the form of some material choices, but just look at this thing. It’s a true 1:1 replica of the steering wheel found in the Lamborghini Revuelto, and it is gorgeous.

MOZA sent this wheel over for a review, so let’s get it.

Why this MOZA wheel is significant

Now, this isn’t the first time that MOZA has released an official partner product. They’ve worked with Lamborghini before with the SCV12 wheel, and also with Porsche, producing the Mission R wheel. However, both of those wheels came from track-ready cars and both have incredibly futuristic concept car vibes. The styling, and the $1200+ price tag mean those wheels are not for everybody.

Many sim racers may have a preference for say GT, F1 or hypercars, but many also like to rip it up in Assetto Corsa or Forza Horizon every now and then in their favourite road car. I know I do. Doing that with a rectangular formula wheel isn’t exactly practical or immersive.

That’s where wheels like this Revuelto wheel come in. Providing that immersion, along with the ability to drive like you would in a road car. It actually surprises me that most sim racing brands completely forgo this side of the market, with brands like Fanatec, Simucube, Asetek and others not catering for real-world road cars.

But hey, MOZA have bitten the bullet, so let’s see how this Lamborghini wheel delivers.

Price of the MOZA Lamborghini Revuelto Wheel

And lets start with the price and value proposition. The MOZA Lamborghini Revuelto wheel comes in at $399, £379 or €429. That puts it firmly in a mid-range category, competing with wheels like the RS V2, the GS GT or Fanatec wheels like the Formula V2.5X.

MOZA Lamborghini Revuelto Wheel	USD $399.00 EUR €429.00 GBP £379.00 AUD 729.00 JPY 65,900.00

All of those wheels are also screenless, but do include a variety of inputs just like this Revuelto wheel. All have various buttons and encoders with dual shifters. But all of those wheels also feature nicer materials throughout with carbon fibre, genuine leather or Alcantara. And this is where the Revuelto starts to falter in its appeal.

The design and build quality

Kicking off my design review, I want to touch on the materials, because it is one of my biggest sticking points with this wheel.

MOZA laced their RS V2 wheel in genuine leather and forged carbon fibre, and stuck a price sticker on it that isn’t too dissimilar to this Lambo wheel.

In comparison, this steering wheel has microfibre leather, no carbon fibre other than the shifter paddles, and a lot of plastic. The entire front of the wheel is plastic. That extends to the wheel arms and all inputs, again, other than the shifters. This is clearly a step down in quality compared to the RS V2 and other wheels at this price.

Even Thrustmaster who are known for a generous use of plastic, have upgraded their hypercar wheel with Alcantara, visible aluminium and forged carbon fibre. And that comes in under the price of this Lamborghini wheel.

The reason I’m lingering on this so long, is because this is a Lamborghini wheel. The Italian brand oozes class and quality, and the real-world wheel that this is based on features carbon accents and a leather center pad. Of course I am not expecting Lamborghini quality at a $400 price point, but there are some missed tricks that MOZA could have pulled.

Aside from the quality of materials, this Lamborghini Revuelto steering wheel looks stunning. Lamborghini has produced a lovely-looking wheel, and MOZA has replicated it well.

The 330mm diameter is just so right for a road wheel. The large, swooping shifter paddles emulate those on the real wheel and make it easy to hit a shift when rotating the wheel past 180 degrees.

Inputs

MOZA has also recreated all inputs across the front of the wheel. Everything is functional, although each button does include its real-world label, which I’m sure many will appreciate. Although it does make it tricky mapping certain button inputs in game. I’m not going to be using a lane assist button in Forza Horizon, and the suspension lift button is going to get very little use.

This choice does make it a little tricky to remember what each input does in-game, as there are no customisable labels, which I’m sure would be a contractual limitation. However, there are a great amount of inputs, so if you can remember what each one does, you can map a lot of in-game actions.

Across the front alone, there are 16 push buttons, which are all custom mappable. Along with four left-right switches. These aren’t full encoders, but can still allow for increasing and decreasing settings such as traction control and ABS.

Each button feels remarkably squishy compared to recent MOZA wheels. I think a lot of this is due to the rocker mechanism that many of the buttons employ. The initial click is positive, but there’s just a lot of additional movement in each button. The encoders feel nice to interact with, with a good amount of spring in them to help them return to center.

Its a nice touch that each button is also backlit. You only have the colour white to use, but you can adjust the brightness if needed via Pit House.

Talking of inputs, around the back of the wheel are an additional five push buttons on either side. These are laid out in a d-pad format, but are quite unconventional to use.

Positioning wise their fine, with all inputs in reach. However, having five rather small inputs grouped close together, I never felt confident I was pushing the right button. For example, I tried mapping my diff to the up and down inputs. Every time I reached to make an adjustment I found myself pausing momentarily, just to ensure my finger had landed on the right button.

This hesitation ultimately led to me reverting back to using the front inputs only. I do like to see out of the box ideas and additional inputs, but maybe these hidden buttons are a small step too far.

Also around the back are two paddle shifters and two dual-clutch paddles. These are real carbon fibre, and like all modern MOZA shifters feel great. They’re well dampened with a perfect amount of travel.

The dual clutch has a slight ting every time you pull it but that’s not the end of the world. The size of the shifters is also spot on. I like the elongated paddles, especially for a road car.

Connectivity

Now, moving onto the connectivity of the wheel, MOZA has really leant into producing wheels and products that are easily third-party compatible. This Lamborghini follows this trend with the inclusion of a data port on the rear of the wheel.

This means that as long as you can physically mount the wheel to a wheel base, you’ll be able to get power to it via this port. It makes it possible to use this wheel with different branded wheel bases, including Fanatec, or as I have here, Simucube.

If you are using a MOZA wheel base as well though, the built in quick release is as solid as ever. A simple push and click to mount, and away you go, completely cable free.

Final Thoughts

And that brings me onto my final thoughts. This Lamborghini wheel does mark an exciting step for MOZA. The first true road-car wheel, something most other brands are not doing, and it is great to see this style of wheel.

From a collaboration perspective, I’d think this wheel is a success. It’s a replica Lamborghini wheel for the sim, and that’s going to appeal to many sim racers and petrol heads. From an immersion perspective, and using this in more casual racing games such as Forza, I have really enjoyed using the wheel.

It’s just one of those wheels that stands out among the crowd of carbon fibre faceplates and generic-shaped GT and Formula wheels. Yet, when you get up close, take it down from wall to look a little deeper, the reality doesn’t quite marry up.

An over-reliance on cheaper materials lets the wheel down just before it makes it over the finish line, and at this price point, is a little bit of a surprise.

However, during my time on track, and interacting with the MOZA Lamborghini Revuelto wheel, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed myself. And I think it’ll be a very popular wheel, given its Lamborghini branding, sharp styling, and lack of direct competition.
