Modena Engines, in collaboration with DR Kart, which takes care of its development and sales, has homologated engines for categories KZ and OK Junior and Senior for the three-year period 2019 - 2021.

The close relationship between Modena Engines and DR Kart has come to fruition with several new products. After the evolutions previously carried out on the existing engines for the gearbox categories, the two companies have produced 2 new units for the 2019 – 2021 homologation. The most important news is certainly the debut in the single-speed classes with the OK engines, both in Junior and Senior versions. Confirmed, after the excellent results thus far obtained, the commitment in the gearbox categories with a completely redesigned engine taking advantage of the experiences gathered from the previous homologation. The synergy between Modena Engines and DR Kart sees the former involved in the construction of the various engine components, while the second takes care of the development, prototyping, final assembly and sales and marketing of the engines. Thanks to new technologies adopted and implemented, including the widespread use of 3D printers, it has allowed the manufacturers to move from design to prototype in a matter of days, speeding up development work and defining the main standards of the new engines, quickly ready to compete on the track against what is fierce competition. Let’s now go into detail by analyzing these 2 new units.
