Dual-Mode Hydraulic Handbrake for Sim Racing – 10 MPa Sensor, Horizontal or Vertical Lever

Dual-mode hydraulic handbrake: overview

This dual-mode hydraulic handbrake is built for drift, rally and off-road sims. A second-generation hydraulic system with a redesigned oil circuit gives realistic hydraulic damping, read by a 10 MPa high-precision pressure sensor.

The lever switches between a classic horizontal position and a competitive vertical position to match the car and your style.

CNC-machined aluminium, an extended piston, sealed bearings and an enclosed design give zero mechanical free play and a smooth, consistent feel – plug in over USB and go.

Who the dual-mode hydraulic handbrake is for

Rally, rallycross and drift drivers:

• EA Sports WRC, Dirt Rally 2.0 and Assetto Corsa drift
• Drivers who want a real hydraulic feel
• Rigs with a handbrake mount

Features in detail

Hydraulic system

Realistic damping from a redesigned oil circuit.

10 MPa sensor

Ultra-precise input.

Dual-mode lever

Horizontal (classic) or vertical (competitive).

Zero free play

Consistent tactile response.

CNC aluminium

Extended piston, sealed bearings, dust-resistant enclosed design.

USB plug-and-play

Also connects by CAN and to Fanatec bases.

Compatibility

PC via USB; also supports CAN connection and Fanatec base connection. Configured with the maker's software (auto-detection and mapping curves).

Bottom mounts through Ø6 holes – fits our handbrake mounts and most rigs.

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. Choose horizontal or vertical lever mode.
2. Bolt the handbrake to a handbrake mount through the Ø6 holes.
3. Connect USB (or CAN / Fanatec base).
4. Calibrate and set a mapping curve.

Care and maintenance

Check mounting bolts regularly; keep the unit clean and avoid knocking the lever.
