Confidently take control of your brake balance with the new Monit remote bias adjuster
Brake Dial Design
Designed to work with all race pedal boxes, racing pedal assemblies, and balance bars, the new patent pending Monit Brake Dial is a remote brake bias adjuster that allows you to easily view, and adjust, the position that your brake bias is set too. Reset the display to ‘zero’ at your preferred position and confidently adjust for changing conditions to gain maximum braking performance – knowing you can accurately return to your starting point if you need to.
Replace your old remote bias adjuster with the new Monit Brake bias Dial and take control of your race braking performance.
Typically brake balance bars have 50 – 80 clicks of full adjustment, for a race driver to keep track of that many click positions with a traditional remote bias adjuster knob is very difficult.
The new Monit Brake Dial remote brake bias adjuster solves this problem by counting the ¼ turn detent ‘clicks’ and displaying the position on a clear sunlight viewable LCD display that stays on continuously. This allows you to see the current brake balance setting, anytime, at a glance - giving you the confidence to adjust your brake balance more frequently.
Easy intuitive operation is a key feature of Monit products and the new Brake Dial continues this design ethos.
To adjust your competition vehicles brake bias simply rotate the Monit Brake Dial, as per any standard remote brake bias adjuster knob, and the Monit Dial will continuously display your current balance bar position. Reset the zero point of the display at your favoured position by pressing and holding the ‘0’ button. Simple.
Maximising the braking performance and balance in your competition race vehicle is critical to success. Correctly adjusted brakes, not only stop a vehicle faster, and more predictably, they also reduce wear on braking components and tyres and ultimately increase confidence and enjoyment for the driver.
While the fitment of a ‘remote bias adjuster’ to competition race cars is common - allowing for the adjustment of braking force between the front and rear wheels - many drivers and teams do not have the confidence or knowledge to fully utilize it.
Now, for the first time, the Monit Brake Dial allows all drivers to accurately adjust brake balance.
Easy to install, set up and use, the Monit Brake bias Dial clearly displays current brake balance position and enables easy and accurate adjustment without the guess work.
Water, dust and shock resistant. Carefully engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of a racing vehicle, the patent pending Monit Brake bias Dial is has undergone 4 years of development, design optimization, and testing to ensure it can reliably withstand the demands of motorsport competition.
Considered CAD design and refinement has developed the product into a tightly coupled package that is the same size as existing brake bias adjuster knobs, enabling the Monit Brake Dial to be a drop in replacement for your race car, with installation typically a 10 minute simple straightforward job.
Included are the fittings for 3/8” and 7/16” balance bars, designed to enable quick and easy installation to all pedal boxes, racing pedal assemblies, or standalone balance bars.

Brake Dial Features
The new Monit Brake Dial is a remote bias adjuster knob designed to work with all existing racing pedal boxes and balance bars. It has an integrated LCD screen that counts and displays ¼ turn clicks of a balance bar, giving all drivers the confidence and control to adjust their brake bias for optimal braking performance, knowing they can quickly and accurately return to their initial setting.
Improved driver confidence.
Vehicle balance is critical to ensuring optimal driver speed – when a car ‘feels’ right under brakes and provides full confidence, the driver is more likely to extract the maximum performance from the race vehicle package. The Monit Dial ensures the driver has confidence to adjust their brake balance regularly, and confidence – at a glance – that it is set correctly.
Remove the risk of error. Optimise for the conditions.
Quick and accurate brake balance adjustment allows the driver to adapt to changing; conditions, surfaces, tyre compounds, fuel loads, or driver preferences, to maximise brake performance.
Clear concise display of the brake balance bar setting during a race, or rally, ensures that adjustment errors are avoided, and the risk of an accident is reduced.
Built tough.
Shock and water resistant.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and CAD design were backed up with extensive life testing to produce a product that is built motorsport tough and reliable. Designed for 10+ years of trouble-free operation, the Monit Brake bias remote adjuster Dial is built from carefully selected engineering materials to exacting standards – resulting in a product that is shock and water resistant.
Enables pin-point accuracy of brake balance setting.
The display allows accurate adjustment of brake bias to any precise position – with confidence.
Precision detent ‘clicks’ every ¼ turn of the Monit Brake Dial ensure that vibrations don’t accidently adjust the brake balance bar position. The ¼ turn detent clicks, that are counted, also offer tactile feedback for the adjustment moments where the driver doesn’t have time to glance at the easy-to-read Monit position display.
Two independent ‘zero’ point settings are stored.
With the hold of a button the Monit Brake bias Dial can quickly swap between ‘A’ and ‘B’ driver settings, where each driver can have a separate ‘zero’ point, an icon on the screen indicates which of the two independent settings is activated. Perfect for dual driver endurance racing to ensure each driver has the brake bias set accurately to their preferred position.
Brake position displayed continuously
The high contrast LCD display stays on at all times ensuring that the precise brake balance position is always visible for the race/rally driver. Designed to be viewable in even the brightest sunlight, the display also incorporates a backlight function for low light/nighttime use.
Easy-to-use. Adjustable driver viewing preference
Turn the dial to adjust your brake bias position, as per as traditional remote bias adjusters, and the Monit Brake Dial will count the ¼ turn ‘clicks’ and display this position. Simply press and hold to ‘zero’ at your preferred setting. This can be shown relative to the FRONT or REAR bias depending on the driver’s preference. Or Absolute position can be selected for alternative uses, such as suspension adjustment.
Compact size. Quick and easy installation.
At 45mm (1.77inches) diameter the Monit Brake bias Dial is compact, and fitment in place of existing bias adjuster knobs is typically a 10minute job. No wiring is required as the Monit Brake Dial is battery powered by a replaceable CR2032 coin cell. Battery life is 18months in normal operation and there is a battery low warning indicator to ensure you’re never caught short during a race or rally.
Universally compatible with all pedal boxes
With 7/16” and 3/8” balance bar adaptors included, the Monit Brake dial is designed to fit to all balance bars and racing pedal boxes. This includes easy fitment to Tilton, Wilwood, AP Racing, Brembo, OBP and Alcon racing pedal assemblies – as well as all other brands. A new Monit flexible shaft cable is included, but often an existing cable can be used if one is already installed.
