CUTTING BRAKES

Advanced Hydraulic Control for the Dirt Our inventory features technical designs tailored for custom off-road braking systems:

• Single vs. Dual Handle Designs: We stock Single Handle units (available in upright and angled styles) for space-saving convenience, as well as Dual Handle units that offer dedicated control for each rear wheel. Dual handles are the professional choice for pilots who want independent, simultaneous control over both left and right rear brakes.

• 3/4" Bore Performance: Most of our turning brakes feature a high-pressure 3/4-inch bore master cylinder, providing the necessary mechanical advantage to lock up large off-road tires with minimal physical effort.

• Upright and Angled Ergonomics: Whether you prefer the classic reach of an upright handle or the low-profile ergonomics of an angled handle, we have the hardware to match your cockpit's layout. Our handles feature chrome levers and ball grips for a secure, comfortable feel during aggressive maneuvers.

• Durable Construction: Manufactured with polished bodies and high-quality internal seals, our brakes from trusted brands like EMPI are built to resist the dust and vibration of the trail. Most units utilize standard 1/8" NPT inlet and outlet ports for easy integration into your existing brake lines.

The Ultimate Off-Road Steering Tool A cutting brake isn't just a luxury—it’s a performance tool. By slowing the inside wheel during a turn, you can overcome understeer and significantly reduce your turning radius. Sourced from industry leaders, these units are the industry standard for sand rails, woods buggies, and high-performance Baja Bugs. Whether you are performing a custom build or upgrading your current rail, these turning brakes provide the confidence to tackle any terrain.
