Everyone wants them in a different position. This price includes 2 extra elastomers and several spacers to set this unit up exactly as you like it. Heusinkveld’s customer service is not something people often need but when they do, the stories I hear are amazing. But when you need it, you want to rely on it. This is a lot of money for a piece of equipment you might pull once on a rally stage and try to avoid using while drifting competitively.

People regard this as one of the more high end Handbrakes, not only because of the Heusinkveld brand, but also because of its almost €300 or $300 price tag. I think they would sell a lot more of them. I’d love for them to do a black version of this handbrake. I must say though that out of the box, I preferred the handle shape of the V1 handbrake, even if it wasn’t as impressive visually. The design and colors are instantly recognisable as Heusinkveld, even if there wasn’t a giant logo on the side. This is probably the most common configuration and the one that takes up least space in a box. The handbrake comes assembled and in its vertical orientation. I’m very happy that they don’t use foam or other non recyclable materials in their packaging. The packaging is simple with lots of cardboard to secure the product. They let the product owners do the talking and if you ask anyone for recommendations on pedals or Handbrakes, Heusinkveld is sure to get a mention. They don’t beat their chest about how great they are or how they are better than their competitors. I don’t quite know why, but the colours, the quotes and the sheer credibility that they bring to the table makes them one of the most prolific brands in sim racing. The Heusinkveld packaging fills me with a sense of joy and almost nostalgia.

I’m just painting the scene for the type of intensive review process this handbrake has been through.Īll of the products in this review were sent to me free of charge for the purposes of this review and nobody other than me has had any say in the content of this video. Some of these concepts may be alien to some of you and that’s fine. The third and final purpose of a handbrake is to independently control the speed of the rear wheels without needing to slow down the front wheels. What I mean by this is that when you pull the handbrake while already sliding, you can widen the circumference of your slide by removing grip from your rear wheels. A secondary application of a handbrake is to induce wash into your car’s trajectory. The main goal of a handbrake is to lock the rear wheels so that you introduce rotation to your vehicle in order to point it in the right direction.

This is the Heusinkveld Handbrake V2 and I’ve been using it for the past couple of months for all my competitive rally events and casual drifting. I use a handbrake for rally and drifting and my rig and sim racing experience would not be complete without one. If you don’t know if you need a handbrake, then you don’t. I hear it all the time, people asking “do I need a handbrake?”.
