Construction and materials

The steering wheel structure has been designed for precise vehicle handling and stable hand support in all driving conditions. The rim is covered with high-quality black leather, which provides a pleasant-to-the-touch, durable working surface and an aesthetic match to the factory Mercedes interior.

The leather upholstery reduces hand slippage, improves vehicle control, and makes it easier to keep clean. As a result, the steering wheel is suitable for both daily use and more dynamic driving, offering a comfortable, predictable grip and a cohesive look with the dashboard.

Functionality and paddle shifters

An integral part of this steering wheel are the paddle shifters, which allow for quick gear changes without taking your hands off the rim. This solution improves vehicle control, especially during overtaking, highway driving, or in modes with a sportier character.

The paddles are ergonomically positioned behind the steering wheel rim, which facilitates intuitive operation and reduces driver reaction time. This type of configuration is particularly valued by users who expect precise control of the drivetrain while maintaining a comfortable position behind the wheel.

Purpose and steering system compatibility

The steering wheel in question has been prepared for use in Mercedes cars where maintaining compatibility with the factory steering system and power steering is essential. The appropriate shape and profile of the rim promote stable vehicle handling, and the leather surface improves the feel of the car's response to steering movements.
