Introduced on the occasion of the first homologation of the International class Mini CIK-FIA, the 2022 Mini Rookie is the last evolution of the Tony Kart chassis for the youngest drivers. The changes regard the materials of the frame and geometries, but also a few components
The 2022 Mini Rookie is Kosmic’s answer to the first homologation reserved to the new international Mini CIK-FIA class. The goal is to provide all young kart drivers with the best compromise to guarantee top performances and, at the same time, great ease of drive and adjustment of the kart.
Compared to the previous model, the frame of the 2020 Mini Rookie has gone through a few technical changes resulting from the adaptation to the new regulation for minikart. The innovations concern both the materials used and geometries, but also some components. The most evident change is the new adjustable footrest system, useful for adapting the driving position to the different drivers’ heights in this category. Besides this, we are introducing also a new pedals fixing system, which allows a rapid mounting of the rudder pedals, directly constrained to the pedal supports welded to the frame, increasing the stiffness and safety.
As far as the brake system is concerned, the new Tony Kart Mini Rookie is equipped with the BSM5 model, already tested and proven to be at the top in terms of efficiency and performance. Equipped with self-adjusting brake pedal for the brake pads wear, the brake uses a 160 mm diameter self-ventilated disc and is characterized by the ergal pump with oil tank and the brake pipes covered with an aernautical flexible steel mesh.
Another innovation on the 2022 Mini Rookie is the new M8 bodyworks kit, developed in the wind tunnel and already tested with excellent results on superior category karts: the new number plate with high aerodynamic efficiency and the new front spoiler, higher than the one in the past, can undoubtedly make the difference in the performances characterizing this category.
