Momo Steering Wheel

Momo Steering Wheels: Where Racing History Meets the Open Road

Few names in the automotive world carry the same weight as Momo when the conversation turns to steering wheels. The story begins in 1964, when Italian gentleman racer Gianpiero Moretti commissioned a local craftsman to build a custom wheel for his own race car. That first Momo steering wheel featured a superior, thicker grip compared to anything else on the market — and it quickly caught the attention of fellow competitors. When Ferrari Formula One driver John Surtees mounted one on his single-seater and won the Formula One World Championship that same year, a legend was born.

Over the six decades since, Momo steering wheels have been gripped by some of motorsport's greatest names. Mario Andretti, Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet, Michael Schumacher, Niki Lauda, Jackie Stewart, and Clay Regazzoni are only a sample of the best drivers in modern history who competed and won many races with a Momo steering wheel in their hands. That heritage doesn't just live in record books — it lives in the design philosophy behind every wheel Momo produces today.

Product Lines: Something for Every Driver

Momo's steering wheel lineup spans four distinct categories, each rooted in the brand's motorsport DNA:

• Race Steering Wheels — Built to meet the demands of professional competition, from touring car championships and off-road events to NASCAR and the GP2 series. A lightweight yet strong aluminium core provides rigidity while keeping the wheel's weight to a minimum.
• Street Steering Wheels — Designed to bring racing-inspired feel to everyday driving, these wheels offer a wide range of materials, diameters, and finishes that complement any interior without sacrificing driver feedback.
• Heritage Steering Wheels — A curated line that pays homage to Momo's most iconic vintage designs. The legendary Prototipo — which appeared on Porsche 908, 910, and 917 race cars in the 1960s and 70s — remains one of the most sought-after steering wheels among enthusiasts and collectors alike, and is still in production today.
• SIM Steering Wheels — Purpose-built for sim racing rigs, bringing authentic Momo styling and ergonomics to the virtual cockpit.

MyMOMO: Full Custom Personalization

For drivers who want a truly one-of-a-kind piece, Momo offers the MyMOMO bespoke program. With MyMOMO, you become the designer, crafting a steering wheel that reflects your distinct vision — customizing every aspect, from the materials and colors to the spokes and hardware. An online visualizer lets you explore stitching patterns, grip embroidery, laser etching, and horn button choices before the wheel is meticulously handcrafted in Momo's Milan workshop and arrives in a premium magnetic clamshell box, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

What Sets Momo Apart

Innovation has always been central to the brand. Momo was among the first companies to develop a collapsible hub for aftermarket steering wheels — a genuine safety advancement that set an industry standard. Today, that same commitment to quality, safety, and design is present in every model, whether it's a track-ready race wheel or a hand-stitched leather street model.

From F1 to off-road championships, Momo racing wheels have been tested and trusted by some of the most skilled drivers in the world. When you choose a Momo steering wheel, you're not just upgrading your cockpit — you're connecting to over 60 years of Italian craftsmanship and motorsport heritage.
