MOZA at Gamescom 2026: AI Coach, MotoGP motorcycles, and licensed steering wheels
Quick summary· AI-generated
MOZA unveiled multiple new hardware initiatives at Gamescom 2026, including an AI Coach that physically controls the steering wheel and pedals to guide drivers through correct lines and build muscle memory (demonstrated via human vs. AI showdown on August 29). The company also introduced its first motorcycle controller under official MotoGP license with native force feedback, a PHF Pedal Haptic Feedback Module that adds tactile feedback to existing pedal sets, and licensed high-end steering wheels from Mercedes-Benz (including a VISION ONE-ELEVEN inspired flagship model) and Porsche 911 GT3 RS reproduced from original CAD data.
Excerpt from Sim Racing Nerd
MOZA no longer just sells steering wheels. At Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, the manufacturer is unveiling an ecosystem that goes far beyond four-wheel sim racing. Direct-drive bases and active pedals, of course, but also motion, flight, trucks, agriculture, and artificial intelligence. Four new products deserve special mention: AI that takes the controls, the company’s first motorcycle, a pedal module, and a series of licensed steering wheels.
AI that takes the wheel, literally
This is the most interesting part. MOZA presents its AI Coach as the first sim racing training software capable of physically controlling the hardware. The idea isn’t to display tips on the screen, but to guide the steering wheel and pedals to help you feel the correct line and build muscle memory. A co-pilot that directly acts on the controls. MOZA positions it within a broader range of AI solutions, alongside AI Motion.
To prove it, MOZA is organizing a human vs. AI showdown on August 29. Its ambassador, Dirk Schouten, and three-time F1 Esports world champion Jarno Opmeer will face off against the AI Coach, with the entire event streamed on the brand’s YouTube channel. The setup is clever, but the tool itself is very real.
A first motorcycle, under a MotoGP license
MOZA is also entering the two-wheeler market. Its first motorcycle simulation product is developed under an official MotoGP license and is natively supported by the franchise’s games. Most importantly, it features force feedback, whereas most motorcycle peripherals offer only basic controls. For a brand built on four-wheeled vehicles, the difference is striking.
The PHF and the rest of the lineup
More discreet but useful, the PHF Pedal Haptic Feedback Module delivers tactile feedback directly to the pedals, allowing you to better feel the engagement point or the pressure when braking. MOZA reports broad compatibility with its non-active pedal sets, from the SR-P to the CRP2. It’s a way to get a feel for active pedals without having to buy a whole new set.
Licensed steering wheels: a showcase of prestige
Now for the most spectacular part. MOZA is showcasing two Mercedes-Benz steering wheels, including a flagship model inspired by the VISION ONE-ELEVEN concept and its five screens, while the automaker celebrates its 140th anniversary and installs five MOZA simulators at its own booth. Also on display is a Porsche 911 GT3 RS steering wheel reproduced from the original CAD data, featuring a detachable screen, and a…
