Mach1 Ares
The kart for the minis
The Mach1 for the youngest drivers.
The Ares is our uncompromising professional chassis for national and international Mini classes (CIK Mini, 950 mm wheelbase). It arrives to a high standard of pre-assembly, with a bled Hetschel-HRP brake and magnesium wheels.

Ares for the minis
The Ares at a glance
For competitive youth racing: the chassis fits CIK Mini, Rotax Micro Mini and the electric Rotax e10.
Brake
The Hetschel-HRP EvoX-M mini brake comes filled and bled from the factory and is ready to use straight away. It is easy to modulate, which especially helps younger drivers build confidence in braking.
Quick to set up
With the integrated Sniper Adjusters you set camber and caster quickly and precisely. The Mach1 M6 steering wheel (ø 320 mm, flat bottom) and HRP wheel stars complete the package.
Magnesium wheels
HRP magnesium wheels 115/140, the standard in the mini classes. They reduce rotating mass and help with tyre management. You can fit the tyres the regulations require.
Pre-assembled
The chassis arrives pre-assembled with seat and exhaust holder. That saves team managers and mechanic dads time during setup.
