Ergonomic, durable and advantageous…. Got your attention?

Picture this – it’s the British Championships decider and you have managed pole position; all you need to do is finish the final in the top 5 to take the title. You’ve fought tooth and nail all year, giving everything for that number 1 seed. The physical, emotional and monetary investment has been intense all season. Let’s be honest, the cost of racing makes it intense!

You start walking out to parc ferme, calm and focussed you notice droplets of rain forming on your visor. Every droplet brings that dread of a change in the weather conditions. There’s 10 minutes to go in the assembly area when the heavens open and the rain is bouncing off the ground – we are talking the type of rain that could drown a duck. Panic spreads through the assembly area, with tyres bouncing of karts and people shouting, “where’s the 7mm allen key”. At this point you are wondering if the title is going to slip away from you? Is there time to change everything? But then you realise under the chain guard is the Tru-Tension Rapid Release system, you have a smirk to yourself knowing that you have the upper hand and that your mechanic can now swap the sprocket over in seconds….

Maybe we should also write some creative story books? But realistically that is the environment our Rapid Release system was designed to thrive in – ever changing track conditions where a quick gearing change is required, allowing you to have the upper hand over the competition. By the way, for peace of mind, you managed to get onto the correct sprocket and drove off into the distance clinching the number 1 seed in style.

So, now we have helped you win a British Championship on paper, a bit about the Rapid Release system. Our expert design team have spent the past two years developing this patent pending system, working alongside some of the top karters in the UK to make sure it delivers in terms of usage, durability and design. Let’s check out the key facts:

  • Manufactured using a premium grade of Nylon, offering improved durability over the conventional sprocket protectors
  • No need for a new sprocket carrier, this kit is universal and will bolt onto your current carrier
  • Sprockets are made from aerospace grade aluminium and surface finishing, offering unchallenged durability sized from 64 to 96
  • It’s a flush fitting system, no extruding bolts that could damage your chain guard and you can run closer to the bearing carrier if required
  • Two thickness’s and four protector sizes are available making sure you are covered wherever you are
  • Sprockets are designed to match the 219-chain pitch making it compatible with your current selection of chains

This system is cutting edge and will literally give you an advantage in those ever-changing weather conditions, to be honest it even makes it a breeze on a dry day. If you also combine it with our specific karting Chain Lube, then you may as well buy a bigger trophy cabinet.
