Acuity ESCO-Ti Titanium Shift Knob - Splatter Titanium

Important: Because the splatter finish on this product is applied by hand and in a random fashion, the size, location, and distribution of drip and splatter patterns will vary from part to part. The part you order will have blue, purple, and gold colors almost identical to the colors shown in these images, but the exact splatter pattern will naturally vary. Acuity does not permit returns on the basis of the splatter pattern not perfectly matching the product photos on our website.

A Knob with Pedigree

The ESCO-Ti is ACUiTY's popular ESCO shape reimagined in beautifully finished 6AL4V titanium. This version of the ESCO-Ti is presented in a stunning brushed, burnt blue finish with purple and gold splatter accents. ACUiTY's ESCO knob profile has become a favorite among seasoned drivers because of its comfortable shape. 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 burnt blue finish with purple and gold splatter accents using an anodizing process borrowed from the medical implant industry. As an added touch, the 6-Speed Honda/Acura gear pattern on top and small ACUiTY logos around the base are laser-etched in a beautiful burnt gold color. The finished appearance is breathtaking and unrivaled. 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.

Care Instructions

Oil and dirt that accumulate on the outside of this product will temporarily reduce the vibrance of the colors in its burnt finish. If you find your titanium looking a little lackluster, use a microfiber cloth and some household rubbing alcohol to wipe the outer surfaces down. This will remove oil and dirt deposited on the outer surfaces and will restore the original beauty of the finish. Avoid use when your hands are excessively rough or when you have abrasive materials on them (like sand, dirt, etc), as this can prematurely wear down the burnt finish. Avoid use with rings or similar jewelry as it may scratch the finish. If the finish is ever damaged, ACUiTY may be able to refinish the knob at a much lower cost than replacing it; contact us for details.
