Following its debut at Gamescom 2026, MOZA Racing has provided a more detailed look at its first motorcycle simulation product developed in collaboration with MotoGP. The officially licensed MotoGP Handlebar expands the company’s Direct Drive ecosystem beyond car racing, combining force feedback with dedicated motorcycle controls and support for several bike racing titles.
Rather than using a completely separate force feedback platform, the MotoGP Handlebar is compatible with all currently available MOZA wheel bases. MOZA does not list support for third-party wheel bases, making the product specifically designed around its existing hardware ecosystem.
MotoGP Design, Force Feedback and Dual Riding Modes
MOZA describes the system as its first motorbike simulation product developed with MotoGP. Force feedback is used to reproduce physical sensations and control inputs from the virtual motorcycle, while the handlebar features two riding modes intended to provide different ways of interacting with supported games.
For now, MOZA has not published a technical explanation of how those two modes differ, so details regarding their exact steering and leaning behaviour remain unconfirmed. The handlebar measures 620 mm wide and combines a magnesium-alloy rear housing with a plastic front housing and silicone grips. It attaches using a custom aluminium-alloy quick-release system, while signal transmission is handled through a conductive slip ring.
MOZA has also integrated the controller with its Pit House software, allowing users to configure button mapping and lighting. Intelligent telemetry support enables the lighting system to react to compatible games.
There are 10 backlit short-travel buttons, with illumination configurable across 16.7 million colours, alongside one D-pad and two five-way switches. Six RGB shift LEDs are also included and offer the same 16.7-million-colour configuration range. An optional MOZA CM2 dashboard can be added to the setup. Its interface is fully customizable and MOZA also provides official presets, allowing riders to display relevant telemetry directly in front of the handlebars.
Supported Motorcycle and Racing Games
MOZA has already published an initial compatibility list covering both dedicated motorcycle simulators and several conventional driving titles.
Currently supported games include:
- MotoGP 26
- GP Bikes
- TrackDayR
- Live for Speed
- The Crew Motorfest
- Assetto Corsa
- BeamNG.drive
MOZA is also developing support for additional entries in the MotoGP series, as well as the RIDE series, SBK series, RiMS Racing, TT Isle of Man and Lane Split. The company says additional compatible titles will continue to be added.
The inclusion of Assetto Corsa, BeamNG.drive and Live for Speed is particularly notable, as the device is therefore not restricted to officially licensed MotoGP software or dedicated motorcycle games. MOZA says the product is natively supported by the MotoGP game franchise and positions the system as the beginning of a broader move into two-wheel simulation.
At present, however, MOZA has not confirmed a retail price or final release date. Its official MotoGP product page currently promotes the hardware as an upcoming product and allows users to register for future launch updates.
