Fanatec has replaced the position potentiometer from the previous generation with a load cell that measures the force applied to the lever. In practical terms, it\u2019s no longer the distance the lever travels that matters, but the pressure applied. And for a handbrake, that changes everything: you can feel a real progression between the initial load transfer and the complete locking of the rear wheels\u2014exactly what you\u2019re looking for when managing a slide with millimeter precision.<\/p>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<div class=\"srg-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<h2>A block of metal that doesn't bend<\/h2>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<figure class=\"srg-float-r\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fanatec.sjv.io\/LKd94o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_HB_V2-04-1024x683.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_HB_V2-04-980x653.webp 980w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_HB_V2-04-480x320.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<p>This is some serious piece of equipment. The frame is a steel-and-aluminum assembly, cast and then CNC-machined, with ball bearings at the lever\u2019s pivot point. The handle is thick and fits comfortably in the hand, and most importantly, the entire unit remains completely rigid even when you pull on it like a maniac. With this level of craftsmanship, it\u2019s a far cry from plastic: the device is heavy, it inspires confidence, and this rigidity directly contributes to precision, since nothing twists between your hand and the sensor.<\/p>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<div class=\"srg-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<h2>Some room for adjustment under the hood<\/h2>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<figure class=\"srg-float-l\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fanatec.sjv.io\/LKd94o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_HB_V2-02-1024x683.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_HB_V2-02-980x653.webp 980w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_HB_V2-02-480x320.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<p>Once the top plate is removed, you\u2019ll find a wide range of adjustment options. Preload is adjusted via a metal disc at the rear: the more preload you apply, the more tension is placed on the elastomer and load cell stack, and the greater the lever\u2019s initial resistance becomes. The travel, meanwhile, is adjusted using the spacers provided in 60, 70, and 80 mm lengths, and the lever angle has three positions. So you have everything you need to set the stiffness and pull length to your liking. The one honest downside: all these adjustments require removing the top plate each time; we would have liked quicker access to them.<\/p>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<div class=\"srg-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<h2>Handle: horizontal or vertical<\/h2>\n<p>The V2 can be mounted in two orientations. In the horizontal position, it features the classic configuration of a road car\u2019s parking brake. In the vertical position, it switches to rally mode, with the lever standing upright like a competition-style hydraulic brake. Switching between the two takes only a few seconds, which is a real plus if you\u2019re alternating between GT driving and gravel stages.<\/p>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<div class=\"srg-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<h2>What it looks like once it's up and running<\/h2>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<figure class=\"srg-float-r\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fanatec.sjv.io\/LKd94o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_HB_V2-03-1024x683.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_HB_V2-03-980x653.webp 980w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_HB_V2-03-480x320.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<p>In use, the feel is excellent. The lever is firm and direct, providing a reassuring mechanical response when pulled. In rally driving, this firmness works wonders: you can modulate the load on the rear with remarkable consistency, applying exactly the same pressure corner after corner\u2014and that\u2019s precisely what you need to navigate a dirt hairpin without spinning out. In drifting, the load cell shines during partial braking, where an on\/off position sensor leaves you in the dark: here, you can truly fine-tune the percentage of lockup. However, it\u2019s important to be realistic: even when adjusting the preload and the elastomer, the brake remains on the firm side of the spectrum. For a demanding driver, this is an asset; for a casual driver who wants a very gentle braking feel, it might be surprising at first. During long sessions, this firmness requires a decisive motion but doesn\u2019t cause fatigue, since the travel is short and the feedback is immediate.<\/p>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<div class=\"srg-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<h2>The Connection: The Real False Note<\/h2>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<figure class=\"srg-float-l\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fanatec.sjv.io\/LKd94o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_HB_V2-05-1024x683.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_HB_V2-05-980x653.webp 980w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_HB_V2-05-480x320.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<p>This is the part that has everyone scratching their heads. By default, the V2 connects via an RJ12 port on the back of a Fanatec base\u2014and that\u2019s it. To use it directly on a PC as a standalone USB device, you have to buy the ClubSport USB adapter separately, which costs around twenty euros. At this starting price, not including this cable is a decision that\u2019s hard to justify, and it\u2019s clearly what\u2019s going to turn off some of the audience. On the console side, the same logic applies: the handbrake only works through a Fanatec base; it has no standalone connection to an Xbox or PlayStation. Another detail to note is that the analog signal isn\u2019t yet perfectly calibrated on the belt-driven bases (the maximum range doesn\u2019t calibrate as expected), an issue that Fanatec says it will fix via a firmware update.<\/p>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<div class=\"srg-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<h2>Who should consider this<\/h2>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<figure class=\"srg-float-r\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fanatec.sjv.io\/LKd94o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_HB_V2-06-1024x683.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_HB_V2-06-980x653.webp 980w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_HB_V2-06-480x320.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<p>The ClubSport Handbrake V2 is an excellent handbrake\u2014sturdy and incredibly precise\u2014designed for those who take rally, drifting, and off-roading seriously. Whether it\u2019s the right choice for you depends mainly on two things: how deeply you\u2019re already invested in the Fanatec ecosystem, and how much the USB connectivity issue matters to you. If you\u2019re already using a Fanatec platform, it plugs in and works seamlessly, and its build quality and load cell justify its premium price point.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"srg-faq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><details class=\"srg-q\" open><summary>Which sim racing wheel should you choose if you're just starting out?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Aim for a steering wheel and pedal set that\u2019s compatible with your platform, even if it means upgrading later. A belt- or gear-driven steering wheel is sufficient to start with; an affordable direct-drive model (such as the CSL DD) offers a much better feel if your budget allows. Our tests, rated on a scale of 10, help you compare options without making a mistake.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>Direct drive or belt drive: What's the difference?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">A direct-drive base connects the steering wheel directly to the motor: the force feedback is more powerful, more precise, and more detailed than that of a belt- or gear-driven system. It\u2019s more immersive but more expensive, and it requires a sturdier stand. For beginners, a belt-driven base remains a good choice.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>Does this hardware work on PS5 and Xbox?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">It depends on the specific model, not the brand: with Fanatec, for example, PlayStation compatibility comes from the base, and Xbox compatibility comes from the steering wheel. Always check the console compatibility listed on each product page before buying, because a steering wheel designed for PC won't necessarily work on a console.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>Do you need a cockpit to get off to a good start?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Not necessarily, but a stable mount is essential: even the best steering wheel is useless if it wobbles on a table. A foldable mount is enough to get started; a rigid cockpit becomes really useful once you switch to a powerful direct-drive base.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>How much should I budget for a good setup?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Expect to spend about 300 to 500 \u20ac for a decent starter set of a flywheel and pedal set, plus a mount. Affordable direct-drive systems start at a slightly higher price but last for years.
