Gearknob & Handbrake Accessories

Gearknobs and handbrake accessories, such as adapters, gaiters, and extensions, play a crucial role in enhancing the functionality and ergonomics of motorsport vehicles. Gearknobs are often crafted from high-strength materials like aluminium, carbon fibre, or titanium, providing a durable and lightweight feel. These materials not only improve the longevity of the gearknob but also contribute to a precise and responsive shifting experience. Weighted gearknobs can reduce shift throw effort, enabling quicker and more consistent gear changes during high-performance driving.

Adapters for gearknobs and handbrakes are essential for ensuring compatibility with various vehicle models and aftermarket components. These adapters are typically machined from high-quality metals to maintain structural integrity under intense usage. They allow for the secure attachment of gearknobs or handbrake levers to the existing shift or brake mechanisms, ensuring a snug fit and reliable performance. Extensions, another common accessory, are used to adjust the height and position of gearknobs or handbrake levers, providing better ergonomics and customisation to suit individual driver preferences and driving styles.

Gaiters, also known as shift boots, are designed to protect the internal components of the gear shifter and handbrake mechanisms from dust, dirt, and debris. Made from durable materials such as leather, Alcantara, or high-quality synthetic fabrics, gaiters enhance the aesthetic appeal of the vehicle’s interior while providing functional benefits. These accessories often feature reinforced stitching and precise fitting to ensure long-lasting durability and a professional appearance. Together, these components—gearknobs, adapters, gaiters, and extensions—form an integrated system that enhances both the performance and comfort of motorsport vehicles.
