MOZA TSW Truck Wheel revealed
After the MOZA TSW Truck Wheel was first presented as a prototype at Gamescom 2023, not only fans of the Euro and American Truck Simulator have been eagerly awaiting the release of the 40-centimetre steering wheel. Now the time has finally come and MOZA Racing is officially presenting the unique steering wheel.
Unique design, many features
The TSW Truck Wheel from MOZA is the first truck wheel in this form from a major sim racing manufacturer. With a diameter of a whopping 40 centimetres, it is clearly aimed at fans of truck and farming simulations. It is equipped with a total of 14 illuminated buttons and four additional function buttons (two thumbwheels and joysticks on each side). There are also customisable RGB RPM LEDs on the top and MOZA’s familiar aluminium quick release on the back. In terms of materials, the new truck wheel is equipped with a solid aluminium frame and a hand-stitched steering wheel rim made of “microfibre leather”.
Constructed with premium microfiber leather and meticulous hand stitching, the steering wheel rim offers supreme durability and comfort. Its aerospace-grade aluminum alloy frame enhances robustness and ensures long-lasting gameplay immersion.

Dedicated truck mount, compatible with third-party manufacturers
In addition to the Truck Steering Wheel, MOZA also offers the matching bracket to mount the steering wheel in an almost horizontal position. This is available as an option and is particularly recommended for fans of the Farming Simulator series.

Outside of MOZA, the steering wheel can be used on almost any QR solution with the help of the optionally available MOZA Universal Hub Kit (price approx. 50€) via a 70mm bolt circle.
