Adjustable Torsion Bars
Adjustable/Removable Torsion Bars
Problem: “There’s no traction/the kart is oversteering coming from the apex out of a corner”
Solution:
1. Running the rear torsion bar “full stiff”
(i.e. with the blade of the torsion bar
set vertically to the track’s surface) will
maximize rear mechanical grip as well as
reducing rear chassis roll.
2. When karts are fitted with a removable
side torsion bar or are equipped with
tensioning bolts on the fourth rail, tighten
the tensioning bolts completely.
Problem: “There is understeer all the way through the turn.”
Solution:
1. Turning the rear torsion blade bar towards the horizontal position will reduce rear
mechanic grip while increasing rear chassis roll.
If the rear torsion bar is already “full soft”, remove the bar completely.
2. In the case that they are fitted, remove
the tensioning bolts from the side torsion
bar/fourth rail.
If the tensioning bolts are already
removed from the side torsion bar then
remove the torsion bar all together from
the kart.
