Built tough with metal construction for long-lasting performance
The VNM handbrake features a mostly metal design, built with aluminium for durability and a no-compromise construction approach.
From the outer shell to internal components, this handbrake is engineered to handle the most intense racing conditions with ease.
No plastic shortcuts here—just solid, premium materials that give it a high-performance edge and long-term reliability you can count on.
Even under pressure, the metal internals maintain consistent feedback and performance throughout your toughest, most demanding sim racing sessions.
Compact size for seamless PC setup and integration
The VNM handbrake V1.5 is fully PC plug-and-play compatible—just connect the USB, install firmware, and you're good.
Once connected, simply bind it in your preferred sim titles and you’ll be ready for high-performance racing in minutes.
Its compact footprint at just 363mm tall and 61mm wide makes mounting onto almost any sim rig fast, simple, and frustration-free.
Whether you’re tight on space or just want a cleaner setup, this compact design delivers without sacrificing build or performance.
Adjust your grip angle from 0 to 90 degrees with ease
With the VNM handbrake V1.5, you can easily fine-tune the lever angle anywhere from 0 to 90 degrees.
This level of adjustability means you can customise the grip position to perfectly suit your personal driving style and comfort.
Whether you prefer a more vertical pull or a lower angle for rally-style braking, the VNM makes that adjustment simple.
This flexibility not only improves control but also enhances immersion, helping you stay comfortable and competitive during long racing sessions.
Longer handle design gives you smoother, more accurate handbrake pulls
The VNM Handbrake V1.5 features an extended handle that provides increased leverage for smoother, more precise braking control every time.
That longer reach gives you a better feel when applying pressure, making subtle adjustments easier during intense sim racing moments.
It’s a small design choice that makes a big difference—especially when you’re chasing consistency and accuracy in competitive driving sessions.
More control means better lap times, improved handling, and a more immersive experience behind the wheel of your racing setup.
