Why change to
Magnetic DSG Paddles?
The ultimate Magnetic DSG Paddles for Golf Mk8 and Volkswagen MQB Evo models. Precision-engineered from billet aluminium with internal magnets.
These paddles deliver crisp, immediate, and confidence-inspiring shifts with an audible ‘clack’ — allowing you to clearly hear your shifts activate when wearing a helmet on track.
- Designed, engineered, and manufactured in the UK, the RacingLine paddles use advanced magnetic shift technology to transform the feel of every shift.
- The factory paddles can feel soft and vague; our magnetic mechanism provides a decisive, satisfying audible click with every pull, giving instant engagement and a far more connected driving experience.
- Each paddle begins life as a solid block of aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, CNC-machined for total rigidity. The result is a paddle that won’t flex, bend, or wobble — just precise, positive actuation every time.
- Their extended shape also ensures effortless gear selection at any steering angle, especially valuable on track or spirited road drives.
- The result? A beautifully engineered, tactile & audible upgrade that makes every drive more intuitive, more precise, and undeniably more satisfying.
