Upgrade your sim racing rig with the Simagic TB-1, a premium load cell handbrake built for precise, force-based control and realistic mechanical feedback. Specifically designed for rally and drift enthusiasts, it delivers consistent performance and full adjustability to perfect your setup.




 

Key Benefits

• Achieve precise braking control with force-based input instead of travel-based guesswork
• Replicate real handbrake feel with progressive resistance and mechanical feedback
• Adapt instantly between rally and drift setups with dual-mode operation
• Dial in your exact preference with adjustable angle, tension, and damping
• Mount easily to a wide range of rigs without complex modifications
• Built for long-term reliability with a rigid all-metal construction

Who It's For

This handbrake is built for sim racers who prioritize realism and control, from intermediate drivers upgrading from entry-level gear to advanced users building a dedicated rig. It is especially suited for rally, drifting, and off-road simulation where consistent and responsive handbrake input is critical.

Key Features

The Simagic TB-1 uses a 100kg load cell to measure force rather than position, allowing for consistent and repeatable inputs under pressure. A dual-mode system lets you switch between analog input for progressive control or digital mode for instant engagement depending on your driving style. The two-stage resistance system mimics the feel of a real mechanical handbrake, giving you a defined pull with increasing resistance. Adjustable angle, tension, and damping allow you to fine-tune the feel and ergonomics to match your setup. Its full metal construction ensures rigidity under load and long-term durability, while multiple mounting options make integration straightforward across different rigs.

Real-World Use & Experience

In use, the load cell handbrake provides a noticeably more controlled and predictable feel compared to traditional position-based handbrakes. You can apply consistent force every time, which is critical when initiating drifts or managing tight rally corners. The two-stage resistance gives a natural pull that builds as you engage it, helping you modulate input without overcorrecting. With the ability to fine-tune tension and angle, it integrates cleanly into both compact and high-end rigs, giving you a setup that feels intentional and responsive every session.
