Simagic TB-RS Hydraulic Handbrake - authentic hydraulic braking feel

True hydraulic braking feel

Instead of simulating hydraulics with springs, the TB-RS uses a real hydraulic damper - the pull of the lever reproduces the 1:1 braking feel of a hydraulic handbrake in a rally or drift car. The oil container rotates to fit your installation, and the damping itself is adjustable.

Simagic TB-RS - nine elastomers for four stiffness settings

Nine elastomers, four stiffness settings

Alongside the hydraulic damping, the mechanical resistance is set by combining the nine included elastomers into four stiffness levels - from a light street-car pull to a stiff competition setup. The elastomers are designed for easy replacement, so changing the feel takes minutes, not an afternoon.

Simagic TB-RS - adjustable handle with four angle positions

Adjustable handle, four angles

The handle installs vertically or horizontally and adjusts across four different angles, so the lever pulls naturally whether it sits beside the seat or on a desk. The grips are replaceable - swap them to match the look of your rig or the feel you prefer in hand.

Simagic TB-RS - SimPro Manager 2.0 software configuration

SimPro Manager 2.0

Connect the TB-RS over USB-C to a PC or directly to a Simagic wheelbase with the included CAN cable. SimPro Manager 2.0 detects the handbrake automatically, keeps the firmware updated and lets you shape the output. For even more feedback, the optional Simagic P-HPR haptic module makes tyre lock physically felt in the lever.

What our customers say about this product

FAQs

What is the difference between a hydraulic and a loadcell handbrake?

A loadcell handbrake measures the force of your pull; a hydraulic handbrake uses a real fluid damper, so the lever moves and resists exactly like the hydraulic system in a rally or drift car. The TB-RS is the hydraulic kind - a 1:1 braking feel with adjustable damping and a rotatable oil container.

Simagic TB-RS or TB-1 - which should I choose?

Choose the TB-RS for maximum authenticity: true hydraulic damping, nine elastomers combining into four stiffness settings and a four-angle adjustable handle. The TB-1 is the lighter, more affordable loadcell alternative that prioritizes force precision. Both connect via USB-C to a PC or directly to a Simagic wheelbase.

Does the TB-RS work on Xbox or PlayStation?

No - the TB-RS is PC only. It connects over USB-C to the PC with the free SimPro Manager 2.0 software, or directly to a Simagic wheelbase with the included CAN cable.

Can the stiffness be adjusted?

Yes, on two levels: the hydraulic damping itself is adjustable, and the mechanical resistance is set by combining the nine included elastomers into four stiffness levels - from a light street-car pull to a stiff competition setup. An elastomer change takes minutes.

What does the Simagic P-HPR haptic module do?

The optional P-HPR haptic module adds haptic feedback directly into the handbrake - tyre lock becomes physically felt in the lever. It is designed exclusively for Simagic products and is not included with the TB-RS.
