The Minirok 60cc is the engine with which Vortex enters the world of the younger. Built according to the new CSAI FIK technical rules of the Italian MINI 60cc and BABY 60 cc categories, the Minirok is a completely innovative engine for the younger!
Vortex has developed two Minirok engines:
Minirok MINI 60cc and Minirok BABY 60cc: the two versions differ from one another in carburettor and exhaust.
Minirok BABY 60cc: supplied with carburettor Ψ 14mm and baby exhaust (reduced power); dedicated to the youngest; it is the entry level in the karting world.
Minirok MINI 60cc: supplied with carburettor Ψ 18mm and mini exhaust; it is the second step in competitions, usually from 9 to 12 years old drivers.
Technical characteristics :
It is a piston port engine cooled air free typical of the karting school, where the body and the finning have been dimensioned in order to obtain the greatest thermic and dimensional stability, paying particular attention to the most stressed part near the exhaust.
The constructive architecture of the engine is that of a high performance engine: the gravity chill castings, the cast iron liner with a great thickness, the head with the radial fins, the crankcase with wide air passages for the cooling are only some of the characteristics that have been moved into this project.
Also the cycle of the mechanical manufacturing is exactly that, which helps the engines of superior categories to reach the performing levels that we can see nowadays.
The centrifugal clutch with monolithic rotor and the electric starter on board complete the configuration of an engine expressly born for the competitions and, at the same time, reliable and easy to drive. It’s important to underline that thanks to this manufacturing method, all the engines have the same performances and this keeps the qualitative standard high and constant.
