Gear Knob Cavernous Carbon 100, Matte finish

Gear Knob Cavernous Carbon 100mm — Matte Finish

The Nuke Performance Gear Knob Cavernous Carbon 100mm in matte finish is a lightweight, premium-quality shift knob manufactured from carbon fibre over an aluminium centre core. The hollow carbon construction minimises weight while maintaining the dimensional accuracy and thread integrity required for reliable, long-term use in a motorsport vehicle. Available in three heights (40mm, 70mm, and 100mm) to suit different shift lever positions and driver preferences, and in both matte and glossy carbon finishes.

Matte Carbon Finish

The matte carbon variant features a low-sheen surface that resists fingerprints and minor surface contact marks during regular use — the practical choice for a working race car or a performance vehicle used in varied conditions across Scandinavia.

Height Selection — 100mm

The 100mm version is designed for shift lever configurations where the knob palm sits at the highest, most extended position relative to the shift gate. Correct height selection depends on the driver’s seating position, the shift lever length, and the transmission tunnel height of the vehicle. Where possible, measure the distance from the shift lever thread to the desired palm height before ordering to confirm the correct variant.

Carbon Fibre Weight Advantage

Reducing gear knob mass lowers the rotational inertia the driver’s hand must overcome to initiate each gear change, which — on a race car where gear changes occur frequently and at high engine speeds — can contribute to faster, more confident shift action. The Cavernous Carbon’s hollow construction provides a meaningful weight reduction over solid aluminium or steel knobs of equivalent diameter.
