Presentation: The setting of the front train OTK

The round front bar 30 x 1 mm is a room of origin OTK Kart Parts. It attaches between the two longitudinal tubes at the front of the chassis. This is one of the most effective tools for changing the torsion of the frame and adapt the grip according to the track conditions.

• Intermediate rigidity: With a thickness of 1 mm, This bar offers an ideal compromise. It brings more precision than a bar without a bar, while remaining more flexible than versions of 1.5 mm or 2 mm.

• Total compatibility: Designed to fit perfectly with the fasteners of all chassis of the group OTK (Tony Kart, Kosmic, wished, Redspeed, LN, EOS).

• Chrome finish: Manufacturing quality OTK with a high resistance chrome finish to prevent corrosion and facilitate assembly / disassembly.

- Technical specifications

- Installation and influence on behavior

1. Mounting: Slide the bar in the collars provided for this purpose on the front of the chassis. Make sure the bar is not "stress" during tightening to not distort the frame.

2. Effect on the GRIP:

   • Mounted bar: Increases the rigidity of the front train. The chassis becomes more "incisive" curve input and offers more front grip.

   • Remote bar: Releases the chassis, makes it more flexible and more tolerant, ideal if the front train is too "biting" or if the track is very slippery.

3. Interview: Apply a light layer of WD-40 to the bar to prevent rust from blocking the bar in the necklaces.

💡 Michel's trick

"The front bar of 1 mm is often the miracle solution when we look for a little precision without making the kart too physically piloting. The trick: Do not tighten your bar collars like a brute. My Pro Council: If you have too much GRIP and the Kart 'jumps' bend, try to remove the bar before touching your trackwidth. It's a simple, fast setting, and which radically changes the feeling at the wheel! "

❓ FAQ SEO (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: When to use the round bar rather than the flat bar ?

A: The 30 mm round bar is generally more rigid than a flat steel bar. It is used when you need more direction and stability in fast curves.

Q: Will this bar go on other chassis brands ?

A: It is designed for chassis OTK. If your chassis has 30 mm bar fasteners with identical distance, it could adapt, but we recommend the original parts for each brand.

Q: Is the thickness of 1 mm sufficient ?

A: For the majority of pilots and track conditions (average gum), the 1 mm is the reference. The upper thicknesses (1.5 or 2 mm) are reserved for the very screened tracks or drivers preferring an extremely rigid front train.
