THE EVOLUTION<br />
OF PASSION
THE FACTORY automation of the various production<br />
Tony <strong>Kart</strong> was founded in 1958 and was<br />
one of the first companies to follow the<br />
American fashion of karting, forming a<br />
craftsmen production of chassis for karts.<br />
In 1983, with the entry of new management,<br />
a radical change took place within the<br />
company which, thanks to new investments<br />
in research and production cycles, its image<br />
was continually reinforced, rapidly coming<br />
into the limelight of the World karting<br />
scenario.<br />
The help of specialised personnel and the<br />
phases certainly enabled the leap forward<br />
in quality and could guarantee a continual<br />
development process. Machinery governed<br />
by sophisticated software, guarantee<br />
product standardisation. Special robots<br />
carry out welding operations on all the<br />
different points of the body without having<br />
to remove it from die plane, thus reducing<br />
the margin of error to a minimum.<br />
In order to be able to propose chassis<br />
which are always cutting edge and<br />
competitive, Tony <strong>Kart</strong> dedicates enormous<br />
care and importance to the study of new<br />
solutions and to research into the latest<br />
technology.<br />
And it is exactly the avant-garde from the<br />
design and technological points of view,<br />
which represent the essence and<br />
characteristic of Tony <strong>Kart</strong>, perfectly in<br />
line with the conception of a modern<br />
company, where every decision is backed<br />
by a careful marketing study.<br />
Nothing in fact is left to chance and the<br />
investments put into developing new<br />
methods of communication, such as<br />
internet and e-commerce, have guaranteed
the widening and optimisation of the<br />
distribution network, which over the last ten<br />
years has strengthened, so much so as to<br />
be present in 60 Countries in the world.<br />
After 20 years, the long experience, the<br />
passion for this work and intense<br />
research, determine more and more<br />
advanced technological choices and the<br />
need to install new machines.<br />
Consequently Tony <strong>Kart</strong> is increasing its<br />
personnel and its structure, moving into a<br />
new factory. This innovative, functional and<br />
avant-garde premises, besides offering<br />
high level services and assistance, is in a<br />
position to guarantee excellent final<br />
product quality.<br />
Evolution: this is what hallmarks Tony <strong>Kart</strong><br />
from every point of view.
BEGINN<strong>ING</strong> TO RACE<br />
<strong>Kart</strong>ing is considered the “cradle” of motor sports, the first approach to the<br />
world of four wheels and in many cases it can be the springboard to the<br />
higher levels of car racing.<br />
In fact this discipline enables the drivers to develop experience from a very<br />
young age, forming a healthy competitive spirit. If you have already understood<br />
that this is your passion, throw yourselves into it to enjoy the experience,<br />
because it is never too early or too late to enjoy the emotion of going<br />
around the track.<br />
MICRO<br />
It is possible to begin at<br />
7 years of age on<br />
the lovely little<br />
Micro, a small<br />
kart designed<br />
and tested especially<br />
to introduce small<br />
children to the motoring<br />
world and to transform in this way, a<br />
game into a passion.<br />
The Micro has a 50cc engine and a mechanical<br />
braking system.<br />
ROCKY<br />
At nine years of age you move up to the Mini <strong>Kart</strong>, the entry level to the world of racing,<br />
the first machine you can<br />
use to participate in<br />
real competitions.<br />
For this category,<br />
Tony <strong>Kart</strong>, recommends<br />
the Rocky chassis.<br />
It is registered on a national level and<br />
has a 60cc engine with the choice of<br />
either an hydraulic or mechanical braking system.
PRINT<br />
SPRINT<br />
The first step in the sprint class, using a gearless engine, can be taken at<br />
the age of 13 in the Junior category.<br />
The drivers begin to show their driving skills, taking part in the first<br />
international races, and then moving on to ICA at the age of 15. The higher<br />
levels, FA and FSA, represent a further step forward<br />
and the highest expression of the class, where soft<br />
tyres are used which allow high level<br />
performance. The majority of drivers<br />
in the international motor racing field,<br />
including many Formula 1<br />
drivers, have raced in these<br />
categories, winning many<br />
and important titles.<br />
VENOX SPRINT<br />
The Venox chassis is suitable for soft tyres<br />
and is at the top of the Tony <strong>Kart</strong> range and<br />
cutting edge technology. The frame, with<br />
CrMo 30 to 32 mm diameter steel tubing,<br />
between two side members with varying<br />
30-32 mm diameters, results in a soft<br />
front carriage and a rigid rear axle. This<br />
particular technology, named B-TECH, has<br />
been used for the first time in the karting<br />
world. Like all the chassis in the Tony <strong>Kart</strong><br />
line, Venox can be supplied with ultra light<br />
components, such as magnesium; double<br />
circuit hydraulic brakes and bodyworks<br />
which comply with all the international<br />
federation standards.<br />
Particularly suitable<br />
for FA and FSA<br />
are the newly CIK<br />
homologated Tony<br />
<strong>Kart</strong> chassis:<br />
Venox and Krypton.<br />
• Homologation: CIK FIA 54/CH/08<br />
• Chassis CR-MO - Ø 30-32<br />
•B-TECH technology: bi-diametric tubing<br />
• Axle 50 Ø x 2mm thick<br />
• Double circuit hydraulic brake system<br />
• Rear brake disk self-ventilated<br />
•Front and rear chassis height adjustment<br />
• Caster adjustment with the proper eccentric<br />
washers<br />
• Steering wheel covered in anti-slip material<br />
• Magnesium accessories<br />
KRYPTON SPRINT<br />
Krypton is more suitable for medium-soft<br />
tyres, with a chassis using only 32 mm<br />
tubing and, like all those in the latest Tony<br />
<strong>Kart</strong> range of chassis, is supplied with a<br />
rear and front removable torsion bars.<br />
• Homologation: CIK FIA 52/CH/08<br />

material<br />

PRINT<br />
SPRINT<br />
RACER SPRINT<br />
Racer is a chassis whose frame has 30<br />
mm diameter tubing, a characteristic<br />
which makes it particularly suitable for<br />
those categories using medium-hard<br />
tyres.<br />
<strong>Kart</strong>ing however should not be looked at only from the extreme competition point of view,<br />
and therefore Tony <strong>Kart</strong> dedicates some of its products to a less demanding public, who<br />
practise this sport as a hobby.<br />
Here we have then, Eikon and Psylo, two chassis for those who like to drive with or without<br />
a gear box; provided with aluminium accessories and mono-pump brake.<br />
EIKON<br />
Realised using 30mm cross-section tubes and available with 40 or 30 mm diameter axle,<br />
Eikon is particularly suitable for use with medium- hard tyres.<br />
• Chassis CR-MO - Ø 30<br />
• Axle 40 Ø x 2mm thick<br />
• Hydraulic brake system<br />
• Rear brake disk self-ventilated<br />
•Front and rear chassis height<br />
adjustment<br />
• Steering wheel covered<br />
in anti-slip material<br />
• Machined aluminium<br />
accessories<br />
PSYLO<br />
More suitable for hard tyres, Psylo, is<br />
made using 28 mm diameter tubes.<br />
• Homologation: CIK FIA 53/CH/08<br />
• Chassis CR-MO - Ø 30mm<br />
• Axle 50 Ø x 2mm thick<br />
• Double circuit hydraulic brake system<br />

SHIFTER<br />
HIFTER<br />
The shifter is the category where performance of the karts is much higher.<br />
The engines, equipped with 6 speed gear boxes, are in fact capable of developing<br />
high power, while the chassis have<br />
brakes on the front carriage, in<br />
consideration of the high speed<br />
they are able to reach.<br />
The Tony <strong>Kart</strong> chassis for<br />
this class are the shifter<br />
versions of Venox and<br />
Krypton.<br />
In line with the characteristics<br />
of Tony <strong>Kart</strong> products,<br />
they are provided with,<br />
amongst other things, front<br />
and rear chassis height<br />
adjustment; adjustment of<br />
the caster with the proper<br />
eccentric washers and 50<br />
mm diameter axle. Venox<br />
and Krypton in the shifter<br />
version have magnesium<br />
accessories and front and<br />
rear removable torsion<br />
bars.<br />
