 PEDALS
Thanks to a simple yet sophisticated transmission of the accelerator’s
control and of the brake’s pump’s leverage the positioning of the
pedals can be optimised and up to 10 cm can be recovered. Thanks to
this simple, quick intervention, the kart can be adapted for users of
very different heights (up to 20 cm of difference). By choosing to make
the pedals adjustable any solution involving moving the seat can be
avoided; for the best balance of the chassis and to avoid differences
in performance to arise among the various karts, the seat should in
fact remain in its original position.
 BRAKING SYSTEM
This self-adjusting hydraulic system has been specifically devised for
intensive use. The pads are large and as far as maintenance is
concerned it’s enough to disassemble two pins to slip out the pads from
the back side of the callipers. The pedal which controls the pump
(which has been placed in a convenient position between the pedals and
the base of the steering-column) has a mechanical forward movement,
which avoids involuntary activation of the braking system by less
experienced drivers. There is a 180 mm diameter disk, as as a standard
system which stops the gas whenever the braking plant is activated;
this very useful as it avoids the engine and in particular the clutch
to be subjected to stress.
CHASSIS
The chassis-body is made of high-resistance Chromium-Molybdenum pipes
with 35 mm diameter and 2 cm thickness. Specific studies and tests have
revealed the points which are most subject to stress; special
steel-plate braces have been provided for. The chassis features a
symmetric geometry to optimise the distribution of weight in case hard
tyres are used. The structure is very strong and it prevents even the
smallest failure or crack from occurring. In this sense, what must also
be considered is the limiting of welding in the area of the seat, which
is placed in a removable frame. The weight is in any case very limited,
for the benefit of practicality and ease of drive. Finally, the
frontwheel- drive-assembly features a platform with plenty of room for
the legs, which increases comfort.
PODS
They have been formed with a special plastic material which guarantees
high resistance to shock and, at the same time, a limited weight. Much
attention has been given to the steel rests which are integrated in the
frame itself and which, together with the rubber buffers situatedwhere
the rests are anchored to the chassis, absorb a significant amount of
energy. The complete set of frames is the result of a well-proportioned
project which combines in an excellent way the requirements of
structural strength with a captivating design. It is important to
stress the fact that the tyres are always towards the inside in
comparison with the frames. And to keep a perfect livery at all times,
a kit of Pvc stickers is available which efficiently protects all parts
which are most exposed to contacts.

RENTAL KART N 35-X
Zoom Rental
The
rental kart suggested by Birel has been studied to result functional
according to the users’ needs: indoor and outdoor rental tracks. For
this reason every sigle detail has been designed according to these
purposes, without retrieving any component from the existing production
of the racing kart. It results an innovative project for the rental
branch (where usually the racing kart was adapted by adding heavy steel
protections), able to match an excellent reliability with an engaging
design. Just think about the pods, with sought lines, but able to
resist to any stimulus with simple temporary deformations and to save
the chassis and any other part. But every accessory is studied in
detail for what concerns design and funcionality: from the pedals, to
the seat, to the axle, to the spindles. The N 35-X kart weights about
30% less than the average of the competitors, so it determines a
pleasant drive without straining the user (which can afford more
races). Above all it allows a considerable fuel and tyres saving, if
planning on annual scale and in relation to a kart platoon.
RENTAL N 35-X
 Birel’s proposal for rental karts has revolutionised this market segment.
Launched 6 years ago, the N 35-X model has met with commercial success
all over the world, thanks to the characteristics which inspired this
ambitious project. By accessing this market range, Birel intended to
live up to the company’s mission of placing its products at the top in
terms of technology, design and innovation but above all of realising
products aimed at satisfying the requirements and the expectations of
reference customers. To achieve these goals, Birel carried out an
in-depth analysis of the requirements of indoor and outdoor facilities
managements and customers’ expectations. This analysis revealed that,
unlike the models currently on the market, modern karts should combine
reliability and design, at the same time guaranteeing the same feeling
driving a real kart would give. The N 35-X chassis is the answer to
these ambitious goals. Thanks to a rational and attentive project,
reliability was researched into, both in terms of choice of materials
and in the creation of guards and energy-saving systems for the
protection of mechanical parts. But what mattered most was the
experience gained in over 5 years of Endurance races, an excellent test
bench for every single tiny adopted detail. As far as design is
concerned a kart has been created which is consistent with the lines of
the chassis of the racing models, with accurate details and no
unsightly guards. The frames used are exceptionally tough and protect
all delicate mechanical parts, rims included, but also guarantee an
appealing design. In terms of feeling behind the wheel, the N 35-X
chassis guarantees the same response as a racing kart, thanks to a
chassis featuring no rigid guards, which works correctly in terms of
torsion. Driving becomes fun, thanks to precise gear shifting and an
ideal balance. From a practical point of view, these characteristics
have two great advantages for those tracks where the N 35-X chassis
have been adopted. First of all track managers have increased their
business volume thanks to a more attractive and, therefore, more sought
after kart. Secondly management costs have been sensibly reduced, both
in terms of spare parts and labour.
Optional line
To
satisfy the requirements of specific markets and facilities, a line of
optional parts has been created aimed at customising the N 35-X.
It includes the cover of the axle and the moving parts (brake disc and
carrier), which can be positioned with ease and is complete with air
intakes for cooling.
This accessory also helps maintaining the kart itself cleaner.
Another optional item is the kit comprising the roll bar and the safety
beltswhich can also be used to fit some karts for disabled drivers.
For those who wish to give tyres further protection, special protectors
are available which can be directly fixed onto the frames.
Finally a kit of Pvc washable stickers has been created, which comes in
three different colours: red, silver and anthracite.
This is a very useful solution for renewing karts’ liv-ery and offers
the possibility of customising a fleet.

The winning technical choices
The body of model N 35-X is made of highresistance tubular
chrome-molybdenum steel with a diameter of 35 mm and a thickness of 2
mm. Specific researches and tests spotted the points more subject to
strain, where special sheetsteel supports were added. The front part is
marked by an original floor panel divided into three parts, which
ensures high comfort to drivers. As far as comfort is concerned, a
further quality to be pointed out is the possibility of adjusting the
pedals, which enables to save about 10 cm thanks to a practical system
to adapt the kart to fit users of different height. In terms of safety
and structural sturdiness, we have to mention the spindles with
replaceable shanks, the steering wheel arms made of a special plastic
material and the 5 mm thick and 40 mm wide axle supported by 4
bearings. Moreover, there is the new-concept, user-friendly
(self-adjusting) braking system. This superb product is completed by
innovative fairings with a stylish design, ensuring maximum protection
to all the mechanical members and to drivers as well. They are made of
a special plastic material providing excellent shock absorption and
adding moderate weight. The steel supports are integrated within the
fairing so as to absorb the more considerable part of the shock, along
with the rubber bumpers on the chassis. A protective Pvc sticker kit
lends the finishing touch with an ever-new livery. The latest novelties
introduced on the model N 35-X include a mechanism on the pedals, which
blocks the accelerator when braking. This device was introduced to
protect the braking system as well as some parts of the engine like the
clutch. In relation to safety, the absorption of head-on collisions was
improved by means of new rubber bumpers placed near the front spoiler
connection.
