The tension can also be adjusted using this knob in the back. One that feels linear and another that feels hydraulic to pull. It also features what 3DRap calls a dual mechanical feeling meaning that you can completely change how the handbrake itself feels from two modes. A linear signal is used for mimicking how a conventional, real-life car’s handbrake would react whereas using the non-linear configuration will make it behave like a rally car. Moreover, you can switch between linear and non-linear signal configurations. The thing that probably surprised me most about the Akina Handbrake was its wide range of adjustability which I’ll walk through right now:Īs I just mentioned, you can use it as a rally-style or conventional handbrake. Whilst you are doing this, you can also mount the handle in a rally-style mode (meaning it sticks straight up), or in the conventional handbrake mode. Simply remove the screws, attach the handle, and screw them back in with the included wrench. Attaching the handle to it is as simple as can be. Its body is mainly composed of satin steel with some 3d printed black components. Taking a look at the base of the handbrake, this is seriously impressive. And I know this because I was comparing it directly with my Alcantara-wrapped wheel. And while the handle feels fine, don’t get me wrong, I would say it definitely feels more like a stiff foam rather than Alcantara. According to 3DRap, the handle has an “Alcantara-like'' feel meaning it's not actually Alcantara, but it's supposed to mimic the feel of it. Something I wasn’t totally convinced of was the material used to wrap the handle itself. The handle itself is what you would imagine although its red stitching is definitely a nice touch and just happens to match my setup's color scheme so bonus points for that. You receive an Akina-branded wrench, the handbrake's handle, and of course the base of the handbrake itself which was a lot lighter than I was expecting. Within it, everything is fairly straightforward. The only reason I mention this is because I feel like shipping is such an underrated factor that many people forget to mention. Off the bat, the Akina handbrake comes shipped in sturdy foam packaging which ensured everything arrived intact.
