Who It Is For

Drivers ages 12 to 15 who are ready to step up from the junior classes into genuine two-stroke speed without jumping straight to the deep end.

The Engine

This class runs the IAME KA100, a 100cc air-cooled two-stroke making around 22 horsepower. It delivers real two-stroke performance while staying simple: pull-start, air-cooled, no radiator to manage.

The Racing

KA100 is known for close engine parity, so the racing is tight and skill-based. It is one of the best-value categories in karting, and many drivers arrive here from the four-stroke ladder and never want to leave.
