Momo Gear Shift Knob

Product Details: The craftsmanship of MOMO’s artisans reaches its climax thanks to the extraordinary woodworking: mahogany wood and beechwood are expertly sanded and layered along the whole body of Trofeo with the result of a complex but harmonious game of contrast between colours and materials. Crown jewel of this shift knob is the vintage tobacco leather top, with the stamped MOMO Heritage logo.

Trofeo is more suitable for a three-fingers grip for a faster gear shifting, with a greater taste of racing.

Please allow a longer delivery time for this special order item to come from Italy.

Product Description

Why Momo?

It all began with a passion for motor racing.

Giampiero Moretti, an amateur racing driver, had a unique steering wheel made for his car. Aside from being a smaller diameter than a conventional racing wheel of the day, the most distinctive part was the large diameter handgrip, that made the car far easier to drive.

It attracted the attention of many racing drivers, amongst them John Surtees, who drove for the Ferrari F1 team at the time, and had the Moretti wheel fitted to his 1964 race car. It was a great year for Surtees and Ferrari, who won the F1 World Championship, and also for Moretti’s steering wheel, which had its share of the glory. Requests for the steering wheel began to pour in and what started as a passion grew into a business.

In 1966 a plant in Tregnano, near Verona, Italy, was opened to produce these steering wheels, giving birth to MOMO (initials that stand for MORETTI-MONZA). The first order was from Ferrari, who had decided to use MOMO steering wheels on all its racing cars. With this formidable entrée, MOMO began to scale the international market. The steering wheel range broadened and production diversified, with the company starting to produce light alloy road wheels.

The importance of design in the success of MOMO products led to the creation of a separate division, MOMO DESIGN, in 1982. And the following year saw the birth of MOMO CORSE, specialising in the production and distribution of high technology racing equipment.

Today, MOMO is a global brand, representing the pinnacle in high-style accessories, tuning products, cutting edge alloy wheels and motorsport equipment, designed for real enthusiasts and manufactured with the same passion that started the ball rolling over 50 years ago.
