Rookie EV
Result of the unremitting work of the OTK Kart Group R & D department and the Kosmic Racing Department, the Rookie EV is the latest evolution of the Kosmic model for the Mini category. The changes, many and important, affect both the new BSM4 braking system and the body geometry. Without forgetting, however, some important details. Which? Let's find out everyone.
Features
Braking System
The R & D division of the OTK Kart Group has redesigned the entire Rookie EV braking system. The BSM4, this his name, is now equipped with a 4-piston ergal brake caliper, with automatic compensation of the consumption of the pads. This is combined with the new self-ventilated brake disc with dimensions 160 x 10 mm. The plant is completed with the one-piece brake pump, always in ergal, and with the brake pipes covered in aeronautical steel mesh. All the components in ergal are subjected to a hard anodizing treatment in thickness, in order to give the components a considerable surface hardness against wear. Finally, the work in symbiosis between the pump and the brake caliper was taken care of with particular attention, in order to obtain a reduced pedal stroke (very important for the young riders of the category),
BORN FROM THE WIND
The M5 bodyworks and the M5 rear guard are inspired by the Tony Kart fairings of the upper classes. In addition, the graphic design is inspired by the top of the range, the Mercury MY15.
The Frame
The frame of the Rookie EV has been revised in geometry, compared to the previous model Rookie. The goal, right away, was to be able to develop a frame geometry that can easily adapt to the most varied track conditions. As for aesthetics, however, the adhesive kit was revised as a whole, now clearly inspired by Mercury R, the new top-of-the-range 2019 model from Kosmic.
