Max Papis Innovations Butterfly Drag Racing Wheels

Max Papis Innovations Butterfly steering wheels are a true revolution in drag racing. They set a new industry standard, introducing unparalleled safety and ergonomic innovation to Top Fuel and drag racing. Designed with insights from NASCAR and IndyCar, these steering wheels enhance driver protection, comfort, and control, making them a true game-changer in the sport.

At their core, the CNC-machined aluminum structure provides maximum strength, but what makes these wheels revolutionary is the injection-molded polyurethane foam layer. This first-of-its-kind safety innovation absorbs vibrations, reduces impact forces, and adds a protective cushion never before seen in butterfly steering wheels. The foam-injected grip creates a barrier against hard impacts, offering unmatched protection for the driver's hands and fingers.

Every detail is meticulously handcrafted, with the entire wheel being hand-wrapped and stitched for superior craftsmanship. The ergonomic pistol grip is engineered for maximum control, featuring MPI's RG high-grip material on the sides for a secure hold under extreme forces, while the bottom section is wrapped in microfiber, ensuring comfort, durability, and a premium feel. The strategic tilt angle further enhances the steering position, reducing fatigue and improving reaction times.

For customization and performance tuning, each wheel includes two high-visibility orange markers, providing a visual reference for crew chiefs and drivers during video analysis. They also come with an adjustable bracket, allowing custom button placement to tailor the wheel to each driver's unique needs. By combining next-level safety, superior ergonomics, and expert hand craftsmanship, MPI has revolutionized the butterfly steering wheel, ensuring that drivers not only perform at their best but are protected like never before.

Additional details:

* Revolutionary safety: First-ever foam-injected butterfly wheel for unmatched hands and fingers protection during impact
