NexusBrake Pro – Load Cell USB Handbrake (120 kg Cell), Two-Stage Feel, Vertical or Horizontal Lever

NexusBrake Pro: overview

The NexusBrake Pro is a premium load cell handbrake for rally, drift and rallycross sim racing, built for drivers who want force-based modulation instead of a simple switch or potentiometer.

A 120 kg load cell measures how hard you pull – up to about 22 kg at the lever – with a linear, repeatable response. That lets you control handbrake turns, drift initiations, Scandinavian flicks and hairpins precisely.

A two-stage resistance system copies a real handbrake: a coil spring takes up the pad-to-disc slack, then progressive elastomers build firm resistance. Soft, medium and stiff elastomers are included, and the lever mounts vertically or horizontally.

Who the nexusBrake Pro is for

Drivers who rely on the handbrake:

• Rally and rallycross racers
• Drifters

Building a sim racing or flight setup

Base, rim and pedals. In a modular setup the wheel base holds the force feedback motor, the rim clips on with a quick release and the pedals connect to the base or by USB. Rims and pedals must suit your base, and the base decides which platforms are supported.

Direct drive. Direct drive bases attach the rim straight to the motor for the most detailed and strongest feedback. They need a rigid cockpit or a strong desk mount.

Load cell pedals. A load cell brake measures pressure, not travel, like a real car. It is the single upgrade that improves lap-time consistency the most.

Setup and use

1. Fit the handbrake to your rig, vertical or horizontal.
2. Choose an elastomer and set the lever angle.
3. Connect USB and map the axis in your sim.

Care and maintenance

Check mounting bolts regularly; swap elastomers to change feel rather than overtightening.
