Collection: Handbrake And Shifter

Choose the control based on the cars and disciplines you drive. The XB1 Loadcell Handbrake adds a dedicated analogue handbrake for rally and drifting. The SQ1 Sequential Shifter provides a separate forward-and-back sequential shift control, while the Push-Pull Rally Shifter places the shift paddle close to the steering wheel for rally and rallycross setups.

A load cell measures how much force you apply to the handbrake rather than using lever position as the main input. This lets you learn the handbrake by pressure and repeat a similar input from corner to corner. The XB1 uses a 150 kg load cell, with adjustable preload and damper resistance to change the lever feel.

A sequential shifter changes one gear at a time using two directions: one for shifting up and one for shifting down. The SQ1 Sequential Shifter uses an adjustable mechanical action, with three interchangeable roller profiles to change the shift feel and a tension adjustment for lighter or heavier shifts.

Both provide sequential gear changes, but they use different layouts. The SQ1 is a separate gear lever mounted beside the driver. The Push-Pull Rally Shifter places a large paddle close to the steering wheel, similar to the layout used in rally cars. The better choice depends on the type of car you want to replicate and where you prefer the shifting control.

A handbrake is particularly useful in rally and drifting, where it can be used to initiate rotation, tighten the car's line or make corrections through a corner. It is less important for circuit racing disciplines where a handbrake is rarely used.

The XB1 and SQ1 can be mounted to compatible aluminium-profile cockpit setups, with dedicated brackets available for different mounting positions. The Shifter & Handbrake Bracket is designed for 40 mm aluminium profile and also supports selected third-party shifters and handbrakes. Always check the compatibility list and mounting requirements for the product and cockpit before ordering.
