With the new FIA Karting homologation session, Kalì Kart has confirmed with a three-year renewal (2025-2027) its entire line of Racing chassis produced for international races and the major single-brand trophies: the KK2 and the KK4 chassis. While on the one hand, as far as the geometries and bodies are concerned, only a few optimizations have been made, bringing the technical experience gained by the Racing Department and the Research and Development Center of the Tinini Group in the most important international events onto the series production, some significant innovations have been introduced for what concerns the fairings and some accessories such as braking systems. For the MINI categories, the homologation of the Black Mirror model (approved as T-Group) has been renewed for all Championships and Trophies where international chassis approval is required. Please find below a short note that illustrates the main innovations and technical characteristics of the Kalì Kart Racing chassis with FIA homologation for 2025.
What’s new
All Kalì Kart chassis in the Racing range will adopt the new fairings called 507/509 which replace the previous 507/508. The new fairings have a design that aims to further optimize the aerodynamics and cooling of some technical components, while at the same time giving the kart an even more attractive look. The number holder is characterized by various slits to discharge the air flows in the most functional way from an aerodynamic point of view and all the studies conducted have also highlighted benefits regarding the effectiveness of the chassis in the front part.
Also new is the front spoiler which is integrated with the number holder and has as its main feature two air intakes at the ends which, in addition to improving the air flow, in the categories with front brakes also contribute significantly to the correct cooling. The new fairings are combined with a sticker kit with renewed graphics, but which maintains the classic Kalì Kart livery with the yellow, black and fluorescent orange colors.
Upon request, the 2025 chassis can also be fitted with the previous 507/508 fairings which retain their approval. As regards accessories, the homologation has been confirmed for the VEN 11 braking system (new acronym from 1 January 2025 – VEN 11b) with the possibility of adopting two different brake discs: the usual 192mm and a smaller one to reduce the masses by 180mm. It will also be possible to choose as an optional or “after-market” VEN 13 system with the innovative modulated braking system, which after some technical developments carried out by the CRG Racing Department and the internal technical office, represents a valid, reliable and effective, both in the DD (direct drive) and KZ versions. As an option, a new steering wheel will also be available which offers increased grip to the driver and has a structure already designed to house the most common data acquisition systems and steering wheel displays.
Kalì Kart chassis with 2025-2027 homologation
KK2: The body of this model is made of 30mm chrome molybdenum steel tubes and is particularly suitable for direct drive categories, both International (OK – OKJ), and for the main single-brand trophies such as Rotax, Iame X30 and ROK. The design of the body is conventional and among its strong points it has the ease with which it can be combined with all types of tires (option and prime) and the feeling it offers the driver with simple setup adjustments. The accessories are top of the range and include magnesium rims and accessories, VEN 11b braking system and the new 507/509 fairings. By implementing the chassis with the gear lever and clutch kit, the KK2 model can also be used in the KZ categories if a softer and smoother chassis than the usual 32mm is required, useful for example in track conditions with a lot of grip.
KK4: The body of this model is made with 32mm chrome molybdenum steel tubes and is particularly suitable for the Shifter categories, both International (KZ – KZ2), and for the categories with the gearbox of the main single-brand trophies such as Rotax, Iame X30 and ROK. The KK4 chassis is a multi-world champion and has always had braking, traction and lateral grip among its strong points, which are priority technical characteristics in high-performance categories such as KZ. This same chassis, in the winter season and in all cases where grip or greater ease in bringing the tires into the operating “window” is sought, can also be used successfully with direct drive engines by requesting the DD setup which does not include front brakes and the gear shift levers. The accessories are top of the range and include magnesium rims and accessories, VEN 11b braking system and the new 507/509 fairings. The KK4 model is also approved for the ROTAX DD2 category which adopts a specific transmission system.
MINI: The body of this model is made of 28 mm chrome molybdenum steel tubes and is FIA approved for the MINI classes, both National as required for WSK events, and for the major single-brand trophies (Rotax, Iame and Rok). The main feature of this chassis is the excellent basic balance with standard setup, which allows kids even with little experience to immediately find an excellent feeling with any type of tire and on all track layouts. The equipment is of high quality and includes magnesium rims and the VEN 12 hydraulic braking system.
