Mercury R
The letter "R" distinguishes the name of the new version of the top model of the Kosmic house range: the Mercury. A frame that maintains the geometry of the body, formed by Ø 30 mm molybdenum chrome steel pipes, but makes a decisive technical upgrade for the components, with the introduction of the new steering wheel, the integral platform, the M7 spoiler of series and new graphics. These developments have been developed in close synergy with the Kosmic Kart Racing Department and the R & D department of the OTK Kart Group.
Features
World Champion Winning Kart
The Mercury R made its debut on the track at the end of the 2018 season. Few races that were enough to reach the most prestigious milestone, the world championship. An exceptional result, which further enriches a winning tradition that saw the chassis Mercury win a huge number of victories since the year of its design: three Asia Pacific, a World Cup KF3 and, with those of 2018, four Championships of the World. A unique palmares, the result of a daily work that aims at a continuous development thanks to the continuous exchange of information between the Kosmic Kart Racing Department and the R & D department of the OTK Kart Group.
BRAKES FROM NUMBER ONE
The Mercury R does not change the brake system and still points to the BSD model, which in its first season of use, combined with the Mercury S chassis, has already proved its full effectiveness. Thanks to a careful development work based on the indications of the Racing Department, which uses the brake system in the most important race fields in the world, and optimized by the R & D department of the OTK Kart Group. The result is a system composed of a one-piece forged brake caliper, equipped with 2 pistons of Ø 34.5 mm, with stroke recovery, and completed by latest-generation brake pipes and the use of DOT 5.1 oil. The BSD model is optimized for single-speed karts and has fully demonstrated its effectiveness by contributing decisively to the conquest of the world title.
Carved By THE WIND
In a sport that is played on the edge of thousandths of a second, every single component must be studied in detail to ensure top-level performance. The R & D department of the OTK Kart Group is well aware of this. For years, it has also carried out a careful study on aerodynamics to design ever more performing fairings. This new research, carried out with wind tunnel tests and CFD computer simulations, is the result of the new M7 front spoiler, which is added to the M6 fairing kit already used in 2018. This is a completely new detail, distinguished by a design detail that allows you to reduce aerodynamic penetration and increase performance, especially in fast tracks with long straights. M7 spoiler combines the new "integral" floor,
