The VNM Handbrake V1.5 is a 200 kg load cell handbrake for sim racing, compatible with PC, built for rally, drift and rallycross drivers who want a progressive, fully adjustable feel.
This Rally edition combines the mechanics of the VNM Handbrake V1 with the Pro Kit and adds refinements that raise precision and durability. Force is measured by a 200 kg load cell read by a 16-bit STM32 ADC board, turning every pull into a high-resolution signal. Its all-aluminium body with black anodising and ball-bearing pivots deliver smooth, long-lasting actuation session after session.
Key features of the VNM Handbrake V1.5
- Industrial 200 kg load cell: pressure-sensitive, progressive and repeatable input.
- 16-bit STM32 ADC board: ultra-fast, high-resolution reading.
- All-aluminium body with black anodising: rigidity and a motorsport look.
- Length-adjustable lever, longer than the V1, for more leverage and tailored ergonomics.
- Angle set across 7 positions (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° and 90°) to match your cockpit.
- Interchangeable springs of different stiffness to fine-tune the feel.
- Ball bearings: smooth actuation with no friction or play.
