VNM Simulation Rally Handbrake V1.5

A load cell handbrake designed for rally simulation, built for high force accuracy and full adjustability. Engineered for drivers who need consistent, realistic handbrake response in demanding conditions.

KEY BENEFITS

• Realistic braking force with 200kg load cell for precise control
• Adjustable handle position to match your driving style and rig setup
• Smooth and consistent pull with minimal mechanical resistance
• High precision input for better control during slides and transitions
• Durable aluminum construction built for repeated high force use

WHO IT’S FOR

This is for sim racers focused on rally, drifting, or any driving style that relies on consistent handbrake control. It is ideal for intermediate to advanced users who want a more realistic and tunable setup. It also works well for drivers upgrading from entry level handbrakes to a more precise and durable system.

KEY FEATURES

The VNM Simulation Rally Handbrake V1.5 load cell handbrake uses a 200kg industrial load cell to measure force instead of travel, giving you more consistent and predictable input. The adjustable handle allows changes in both length and angle, making it easier to position for different seating styles and rig layouts. The internal ball bearing system ensures smooth actuation without friction or binding, even under heavy use. The 16-bit STM32 ADC provides high resolution input for accurate signal output, helping translate small force changes into precise in-game control. The CNC machined aluminum body with anodized finish adds durability while maintaining a clean and solid feel.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Load cell: 200kg industrial grade
• ADC: 16-bit STM32
• Material: CNC machined aluminum with anodized finish
• Handle adjustment: Length and angle adjustable from 0 to 90 degrees
• Adjustment increments: 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 degrees
• Actuation: Ball bearing system
• Mounting: Side mount compatible, clamps sold separately

REAL-WORLD USE / EXPERIENCE

In real use, the VNM Simulation Rally Handbrake V1.5 load cell handbrake delivers a consistent and controlled pull that makes initiating and holding slides more predictable. The load cell design means you rely on force rather than distance, which improves repeatability during aggressive driving. The adjustable handle helps position the handbrake exactly where you need it, whether for rally stages or drifting setups. Combined with the smooth mechanical feel, it allows for confident inputs without unwanted resistance or inconsistency.
