Every rule has its exception and in the world of motorsport the exception is the billet-weighted gearknob. The rule is to keep everything as light as possible but strangely there is a benefit to having a weighted geartknob. It has a distinct feel that makes shifting easier and smoother – and possibly quicker, but that’s down to the driver.

The latest SK51 gearknobs from MOMO are made from solid billet aluminium and are therefore heavier than standard items. Their simple ball design is actually quite ergonomic and fits naturally into the hand.

Of course MOMO has added its own distinct Italian-style with six recessed Allen screw details and the outer grove spanning the full circumference. Having fitted a MOMO gearknob you’ll, naturally, want everyone to know its pedigree and this is made clear by the screen-printed classic MOMO arrow logo and MOMO legend on the neck ferrule.

The gearknob has a true racing design and is available in gloss black or gloss anthracite finish as shown and comes complete with the required fitting kit with a retail price of £71.99 inc VAT.

It’s worth noting that the SK51 is only suitable for transmissions with standard reverse gear selection – not lift-and-select or trigger reverses.
