The steering wheel is the driver's main link to a machine that can travel in excess of 100kph and he controls it via varied hand and wrist motions. The steering wheel relays the driver's instruction to the machine, telling it where he wants it to go OR, better still, where it's not supposed to.
Though stock steering wheels should get the job done, an upgrade, however, should provide the following - more comfort, better control, and increased cabin space allowing the driver to move more freely.
Since steering is done with strategic movements of the hands and wrists in spinning motion, caution and care should be used to ensure safety of the extremities which is why great attention is given to the design and materials utilised by companies such as Momo. Most steering wheel upgrades uses quality materials such as leather and polyurethane which improves grip, while some use suede which is quite comfortable, an important factor in a long drive. Also, some upgrades include profiled grips for better control. For Rovers with aftermarket tyres, a steering wheel upgrade will not only allow the driver to comfortably manage the huge tyres but also allow him to move freely against the tight cabin space resulting in a more relaxing driving experience.
