R9 V2
A MOZA buyer who wants a 9Nm enthusiast base, though many cross-shop the R12 at a near-identical price.
~$429 approx 2026 street price
The MOZA R9 V2 sits in the heart of the mid-tier value sweet spot, delivering 9Nm for around $429 inside MOZA's deep upgrade ladder. It uses wireless wheel communication so V2 rims connect cleanly, and pairs with the well-regarded Pit House software. Reviewers treat it as a strong, sensible enthusiast base, though MOZA's own R12 at a similar price has made the R9 a slightly awkward middle child for buyers who can stretch to 12Nm.

Common questions
R9 or R12?
They're priced close together, so most buyers take the R12 for the extra 3Nm of headroom unless they find the R9 noticeably cheaper.
Do MOZA V2 wheels work wirelessly on the R9?
Yes. The R9 supports MOZA's wireless wheel communication, unlike the entry R5 which uses a wired slip-ring.
