contents In the spacetime of horizonless compact objects described by Einsteinian cubic gravity (ECG), we demonstrate the existence of static stable timelike circular orbits on which massive particles remain at rest relative to distant observers. These static orbits are further identified as the innermost stable circular orbits (ISCOs) in this spacetime. If such static orbits form part of an accretion disk, they would give rise to a ring-like structure that is unaffected by Doppler shifts. Moreover, the Aschenbach effect is shown to be present: the orbital velocity of particles on timelike circular orbits, as measured by a zero angular momentum observer (ZAMO), displays a non-monotonic dependence on the radial coordinate. Additionally, the regions supporting stable circular orbits can be discontinuous, and particles on stable orbits near the center can possess specific energies greater than one ($E > 1$).
