Circuit Sphere 100
The Circuit Sphere spawned from the idea of creating a functional, well designed and aesthetically pleasing shift knob intended for competition driving on the track or street. The marketplace is littered with competition shift knobs which lack engineering, testing and refinement to provide the best option to enthusiasts. We knew we could provide what the real competition driver is looking for so we set out to create a competition shift knob that delivers unparalleled performance and features compared to anything else on the market.

FORM + STYLE
Besides the steering wheel, the shift knob is the most driver interactive interior accessory but can have the least amount of integrated design. The Circuit Sphere flips that script and features a grip that has pure functionality integrated with visually stunning design language. The delrin grip has a sphere profile with a flattened top that allows your fingers to wrap over the sphere for a confident grip. The bead blasted texture enhances the grip, all while remaining cool to the touch. We designed an intentional tangent line around the grip which provides a subtle contour to unite your hand to the grip faster and easier. The final touch is a contrast cut Raceseng icon which visually pops against the satin finish of the delrin grip.
SHIFTING LEVERAGE
The 100mm height increases your mechanical leverage and reduces the effort required to make those quick shifts while on track or the street.
WHEEL TO KNOB
By decreasing the distance between the steering wheel and shift knob, you can to keep your hands on the wheel more and reduce the time spent locating the shift knob.
Each car has a different height relationship between the center console and the steering wheel. We suggest keeping the top of the shift knob between the steering wheel’s 4 or 5 o’clock position.
SHIFTING POSITIONS
The Sphere Grip was designed for an overhand shifting format. The flattened top nestles into the palm of your hand and allows your fingers to wrap over the sphere to help dictate directional control of the shift knob. The grip was intentionally designed for the best possible ergonomic shape in order to allow the most confidence-inspiring and controlled shift throw.
CONSTRUCTION
HANDLE
Machined from 303 stainless steel for its high weight ratio and brush finished by hand, the handle is the solid foundation of the shift knob.
GRIP
We utilize advanced manufacturing techniques to create an ergonomic and visually stunning sphere from black delrin which has been bead blasted for a textured surface and remains cool to the touch.
RING
The satin anodized and laser engraved billet aluminum ring is the finishing touch and a mark of Raceseng’s design and quality.
DESIGN DRIVEN
We believe in the power of the design process to create incredible products. Every shift knob start it's life as an idea that is translated into countless ideation sketches where form and details evolve. We take those sketches and further develop them in solid modeling software to define the form and ergonomics of the shift knob. The goal of this process is to perfect the balance between form and function to create an unparallelled product and brand experience.
