ACUITY - ESCO-Ti Burnt Titanium Shift Knob (M10X1.5)
The ESCO-Ti is the rebirth of ACUiTY's popular ESCO shape in 6AL4V titanium. The ESCO design is quickly becoming the preferred driver's knob due to its carefully-crafted profile. With a 40mm (1.57 in) barrel-shaped upper portion, gently domed top, tapered bottom, and 70mm (2.7 in) total height, the ESCO-Ti fits beautifully in most drivers' hands. By forcing a more consistent hand position through its unique shape, the ESCO-Ti helps to train muscle memory, making shifts more consistent.
The ESCO-Ti is a relatively heavy knob at 310 grams (10.9 oz), perfect for a great shift feel without masking feedback from the gearbox. Titanium is 65% denser, has 95% lower thermal conductivity, and has 40% lower heat capacity when compared to aluminum, making Titanium knobs more forgiving in climates with harsh temperatures and providing a more weighted feel when compared to aluminum knobs. To complement the ergonomic shape, each knob receives a hand-brushed and hand-colored gold, purple, and blue burnt finish using an anodizing process borrowed from the medical implant industry. As an added touch, the 6-Speed Honda/Acura gear pattern is laser-etched in a beautiful burnt gold color, and the small ACUiTY logos around the base are similarly laser-etched in a burnt blue color. The finished appearance is simple, classic, and breathtaking. For the best shifting experience, pair your ESCO-Ti knob with ACUiTY's other shifting upgrades for your car.
Each knob also includes a custom-made stainless steel flange nut that can be used to retain the shift knob. If you are using the OEM shift boot collar or one of ACUiTY's 1924 shift boot collars, you will not need to use this flange nut during installation. Also included is a suede storage bag to protect your shift knob when it's not installed.
