Air brake

Legends Canon version → Linked from 3 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Air brakes were components that helped to slow down speeder bikes and podracers. Better air brakes were used to decrease the amount of time to slow a podracer down, although the brakes were best used to slow the vehicle down for taking sharp turns, as opposed to coming to a complete stop. The Toydarian parts dealer Watto sold air brakes for truguts.
