Momo

Italian Racing Heritage Since 1964

Born from the passion of gentleman racer Gianpiero Moretti, MOMO has stood at the forefront of automotive performance for over six decades. Founded in 1964, MOMO—short for Moretti-Monza—began when Moretti commissioned a custom steering wheel for his own race car. What set that first wheel apart was its thicker grip and superior ergonomics, a design innovation that caught the attention of fellow racers and launched a legendary brand.

Ferrari Formula One driver John Surtees mounted Moretti's steering wheel on his single-seater car and won the 1964 Formula One world title. This championship victory catapulted MOMO into the racing spotlight, and the brand has since been trusted by motorsport icons including Mario Andretti, Ayrton Senna, and Michael Schumacher. Today, MOMO is headquartered in Milan, Italy, with a direct presence in the US, bringing Italian craftsmanship and racing-proven performance to enthusiasts worldwide.

Performance Products Engineered for Enthusiasts

MOMO's signature product remains the steering wheel, where decades of Formula One and prototype racing experience translate into precise control for street and track vehicles. Each wheel balances ergonomic design with distinctive Italian styling, featuring hand-stitched leather, signature center badges, and construction methods refined through generations of craftsmen. MOMO pioneered the collapsible hub for aftermarket steering wheels, demonstrating the brand's commitment to both performance and safety innovation.

Beyond steering wheels, MOMO's product range encompasses everything needed to transform a vehicle's interior and driving experience. The brand's appearance products bring cohesive Italian design throughout the cabin, while precision-engineered steering wheel hubs ensure proper fitment and safe installation across hundreds of vehicle applications. For drivers seeking tactile connection with their manual transmission, MOMO's shift knobs offer the same attention to ergonomics and materials that made the brand famous.

MOMO's product range includes consumer accessories such as steering wheels, shift knobs, alloy wheels, and tires through to race equipment. The brand has even supplied wheels for professional racing series including GP2 Championships and NASCAR, proving that MOMO parts deliver performance where it matters most. Whether you're restoring a classic sports car, building a track-focused machine, or simply want to upgrade your daily driver with authentic Italian craftsmanship, MOMO offers products backed by 60 years of racing DNA.

What distinguishes MOMO from competitors is the brand's unwavering commitment to manufacturing excellence. MOMO's factories are multi-generational, with sons working where their fathers did, preserving traditional techniques while incorporating modern materials and safety standards. This dedication to craftsmanship ensures that every MOMO product—whether a vintage-inspired Prototipo wheel or a modern racing design—meets the exacting standards established over decades of motorsport competition.

From Formula One podiums to weekend track days, from vintage restoration projects to modern performance builds, MOMO continues to deliver the Italian design, superior materials, and racing heritage that have made it one of the most recognized names in automotive performance accessories.
