Written by The MOZA HMA150 motion system is here, and it marks MOZA Racing’s first full-cockpit motion platform, launched alongside a wave of new hardware spanning racing, flight, and farming simulation. The announcement, posted on MOZA’s official blog, marks one of the broadest product rollouts the brand has put out in a single release, built around four HMA150 Haptic Motion Actuators that form the core of the new system. For simracers who have spent years chasing realism through wheelbase force feedback alone, the HMA150 signals a shift toward full-rig motion becoming a mainstream option rather than a niche, custom-built luxury.
MOZA Unveils HMA150: What Was Announced
The centerpiece of the release is the HMA150, a motion system designed to bring cockpit-level movement to simracing setups that previously relied on wheelbase force feedback alone. MOZA paired the launch with several other new products rather than releasing the motion system in isolation, positioning it as the anchor of a broader hardware push. Alongside the HMA150, MOZA introduced the R16 Ultra Direct Drive Wheel Base, the R5 Pro Racing Simulator, the MOZA Farming Control System, the AY90 Force Feedback Yoke Base, and the MFY Pro Yoke Handle. Together, these products touch three distinct simulation categories MOZA now serves: racing, flight, and farming. Simracers comparing today’s crop of direct drive wheelbases will want to see how the R16 Ultra sits alongside the HMA150 in a full rig build before deciding where to spend first.
MOZA HMA150 Motion System: Specs and Key Features
The HMA150 is built around four haptic motion actuators working in unison to move the cockpit and layer in vibration feedback. According to MOZA, the system delivers 150 mm of stroke and can move at speeds of up to 300 mm/s, with a maximum payload capacity of 350 kg. That payload figure is significant for a motion platform, as it means the HMA150 is engineered to handle a full cockpit setup, including seat, wheelbase, pedals, and rig frame, without compromising movement range.
Beyond raw motion, the HMA150 also produces vibration effects up to 200 Hz, covering everything from low-frequency road texture to higher-frequency engine and curb feedback. One of the more notable features tied to the system is AI Motion, a processing layer that analyzes a game’s video and audio output in real time to generate motion and vibration effects even when the title has no native telemetry support. That matters for simracers who spend time in games without dedicated motion APIs, since it removes the usual dependency on third-party telemetry plugins to get a functioning motion setup.
| Spec | HMA150 |
|---|---|
| Actuators | 4x HMA150 Haptic Motion Actuator |
| Stroke | 150 mm |
| Max speed | 300 mm/s |
| Max payload | 350 kg |
| Vibration range | Up to 200 Hz |
| Telemetry-free mode | AI Motion (video/audio analysis) |
Compatible Wheelbases and Setup Requirements
MOZA has not published a detailed compatibility list for the HMA150 at the time of this article. The platform’s launch alongside the R16 Ultra wheelbase suggests the two are designed to work together as part of the same ecosystem, and the 350 kg payload rating leaves room for a full direct drive rig, including seat, wheelbase, and pedals. Simracers planning a build around the HMA150 should confirm frame and mounting compatibility once MOZA releases full setup documentation.
Racing Lineup Expansion: New Gear Alongside HMA150
The R16 Ultra Direct Drive Wheel Base is the other major racing release in this batch. It delivers 16 Nm of direct drive torque through a flat-wire motor architecture, paired with a 21-bit magnetic encoder for rotational precision. Force feedback processing runs on a 600 MHz processor using MOZA’s NexGen FFB Algorithm 4.0, the latest iteration of the company’s feedback engine. That combination of torque, encoder resolution, and processing headroom puts the R16 Ultra in a similar performance tier to MOZA’s existing flagship wheelbases, giving simracers another option depending on desk space and budget. MOZA also introduced the R5 Pro Racing Simulator, a complete rig offering positioned to complement the new motion and wheelbase hardware rather than sit as a standalone accessory.
Here’s the full list of new racing, flight, and farming hardware included in this launch:
- HMA150 Haptic Motion System
- R16 Ultra Direct Drive Wheel Base (16 Nm, flat-wire motor)
- R5 Pro Racing Simulator
- AY90 Force Feedback Yoke Base
- MFY Pro Yoke Handle
- MOZA Farming Control System
Flight Simulation Additions
MOZA’s flight sim additions round out its yoke lineup with the AY90 Force Feedback Yoke Base and the MFY Pro Yoke Handle. The AY90 serves as the base unit for force feedback flight controls, while the MFY Pro is the paired handle designed to work with it. This continues a pattern MOZA has followed for a couple of years now, treating flight simulation as a permanent second pillar of its hardware business rather than a side experiment tied only to racing components.
Farming Simulator Additions
The MOZA Farming Control System is the most unexpected piece of this release. Farming simulation has grown into a genuine hardware category over the past few years, and MOZA’s entry signals it sees enough demand to justify dedicated peripherals rather than asking farming sim players to adapt racing or flight gear. Full specifications for the Farming Control System were not detailed in MOZA’s announcement, but its inclusion alongside racing and flight hardware confirms MOZA is now positioning itself as a three-category simulation hardware brand. For a hobby that started with players bolting adapted racing wheels onto farming rigs, a manufacturer as established as MOZA committing dedicated hardware here is a meaningful signal of where demand for farming simulator controllers is heading.
Pricing and Availability
MOZA’s announcement did not include specific pricing or ship dates for the HMA150, R16 Ultra, R5 Pro, AY90, MFY Pro, or the Farming Control System. The company has described this as one of its largest product rollouts to date, but confirmed retail pricing and regional availability windows have not yet been published on its official channels. Simracers interested in any of these products should check MOZA’s store pages directly for updates, since pricing and shipping details for motion systems in particular tend to vary by region and bundle configuration.
Why the HMA150 Matters for Simracers
Motion platforms have historically been a premium, enthusiast-only category, often requiring custom integration work just to get a game talking to the hardware properly. The HMA150’s AI Motion feature is the detail worth paying attention to here, because it targets the biggest practical barrier to motion adoption: games that don’t expose telemetry data. If MOZA’s video and audio analysis approach holds up in practice, it could make motion feedback viable in a much wider range of titles than platforms that depend entirely on native telemetry support, without forcing users to hunt for community-built plugins first. For simracers weighing a motion upgrade, the HMA150 also arrives at a moment when interest in full-rig motion simulator hardware is climbing across the hobby, and having a title-agnostic motion path removes one of the biggest excuses for holding off. Anyone researching options can start with our overview of motion simulator setups to see how the HMA150 compares to existing platforms before committing to a build.
