Grabbing the gear lever in your car is a great feeling, except when your knob isn't comfortable. Hybrid Racing wanted to develop a knob that was not only lightweight and great looking but also fit into the palm of your hand comfortably. Building on the success and ergonomic shape of the MAXIM knob, the 130R knob adds a bit more character.
The 130R knob is machined from a solid piece of Delrin, which is not only extremely strong but heat resistant, so you won’t torch or freeze your hand as temperatures change. Directly threaded, this knob fits all Honda threaded shifters.
“130R” is represented in a few meaningful ways. Named after the famous 130R corner at Suzuka Circuit in Japan (one of their favorite circuits in the world) the curvature is also radiused at 130* giving a physical meaning as well. The 130R knob is wider, taller, and slightly larger overall compared to the MAXIM knob. Hybrid Racing increased the height by 15mm and diameter by 5mm to aid in strength and to offer a larger surface to grab while shifting.
