The 206 ladder, level two.

Who It Is For

Drivers ages 8 to 12. It can be run on a cadet or an adult chassis, which makes it a flexible bridge as a young racer grows.

The Engine

Like every 206 class, Sportsman runs the sealed Briggs LO206 four-stroke. The engine is identical to the one in Cadet, so a driver moving up changes class and chassis fit, not the powerplant they already know.

The Racing

206 Sportsman racing is close and clean, a continuation of the skill-based competition the LO206 is built around. It is a class where developing drivers sharpen racecraft before the Junior classes.
