VNM Handbrake V1.5 is an aluminium 200 kg load cell handbrake for rally and drifting on PC. A 16-bit STM32 controller reads force precisely, while adjustable lever length, seven angle positions and interchangeable springs let you tune its feel. Pair it with the VNM Shifter & Handbrake Plate for a shared rig mount.

VNM Handbrake V1.5 - Progressive control rather than a simple switch

VNM Handbrake V1.5 is built for rally simulation, drifting and other disciplines where the handbrake is used to manage the car's rotation. It does not behave like a basic on-off button. An industrial load cell reads the force applied to the lever, allowing the input to rise progressively with the driver's pull.

This makes it possible to use a fast, decisive action for a tight hairpin or apply a smaller correction when the rear axle needs only a brief adjustment. A load cell handbrake provides more control than a device based on a single activation point. Secure installation on a rigid cockpit is essential to make full use of that range.

Industrial 200 kg load cell and 16-bit processing

The sensing system is based on an industrial load cell rated at 200 kg. Its substantial measuring reserve handles firm pulls without reducing the handbrake to a short stroke or one abrupt threshold. The maximum input is defined during calibration, so the full sensor capacity does not have to be reached every time the lever is used.

An STM32 board with a 16-bit ADC converts the analogue measurement into detailed data for the PC. VNM Handbrake V1.5 can therefore distinguish between a sharp pull and a controlled build-up of pressure. The result depends on the game configuration, but the hardware provides a high-resolution foundation for accurate mapping.

A longer lever with seven angle settings

The V1.5 lever is longer than the one fitted to the original VNM Handbrake V1, and its length can also be adjusted. The extra reach helps place the grip close to the steering wheel and changes the leverage available to the driver. This is useful in a rally cockpit where the hand must move quickly between the rim and handbrake.

Seven lever angles are available: 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° and 90°. VNM Handbrake V1.5 can consequently be arranged vertically, at an incline or closer to a horizontal orientation. Interchangeable springs alter the operating resistance, allowing a lighter action or a firmer pull without replacing the entire unit.

Aluminium construction and a tidy rig installation

The chassis is made from aluminium with a black anodised finish. Ball bearings support the mechanism, helping the lever move evenly while limiting unwanted friction. The unit weighs 2.8 kg and measures 39.5 × 19.5 × 18 cm. It is designed for PC and connects through USB.

VNM Handbrake V1.5 can be bolted to a suitable cockpit bracket or aluminium profile. For a combined installation with the VNM gearbox, use the VNM Shifter & Handbrake Plate. It positions the V1.5 beside VNM Shifter V1 and turns both controls into one rig-mounted assembly.

VNM Handbrake V1.5 - questions and answers

1. What is VNM Handbrake V1.5 designed for?

It is an analogue controller intended mainly for rally simulation and drifting. Its output rises progressively, rather than sending only a simple on or off command.

2. How does the 200 kg load cell work?

The load cell measures force applied to the lever. The 200 kg figure is the rated sensor capacity, not a force the driver must produce. Calibration defines the pressure that should represent maximum handbrake input.

3. Why does the handbrake use a 16-bit STM32 board?

The board converts the analogue load cell signal into detailed input data for the PC. Its resolution helps register small pressure changes and preserve a smooth progression through the mapped range.

4. Can the lever angle be changed?

Yes. Seven positions are available: 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° and 90°. The handbrake can therefore be arranged vertically, at an incline or closer to a horizontal layout.

5. Is the handle length adjustable?

Yes. The V1.5 lever is longer than the original V1 design and its length can be adjusted. This helps set the reach from the steering wheel and changes the available leverage.

6. How is operating resistance adjusted?

Springs with different stiffness alter the lever feel. The driver can select a lighter pull or firmer resistance that calls for a more deliberate hand movement.

7. Which platform supports VNM Handbrake V1.5?

The device is made for PC and uses a USB connection. VNM does not specify standalone native console support for this model.

8. Does the handbrake need to be bolted down?

Yes. The load cell and long lever transfer noticeable force into the mount. A rigid cockpit bracket or aluminium profile keeps the unit stable and makes its progressive input easier to repeat.

9. How can it be installed beside a VNM shifter?

Use the VNM Shifter & Handbrake Plate. Its mounting pattern accepts VNM Shifter V1 and Handbrake V1 or V1.5, creating one assembly for an aluminium-profile rig.

10. Is this model useful only for rallying?

Its layout was developed around rally simulation, but progressive handbrake input is equally useful for drifting, rallycross and other cars that use the rear brakes to initiate or control a slide.
