NEWS - FREELINE ACCESSORIES

FREELINE PRESENTS THREE NEW FEATURES IN ITS LINE OF ACCESSORIES FOR THE KART RACING MARKET: new magnesium rims, a rear hub with six fastenings and the absolutely new Motorsport Hi-Tech adjustable aluminium steering column.

MAGNESIUM RIMS
The new magnesium rims are the result of a project aimed at optimizing the performance of the tires. Tests carried out by the Birel racing department have, in fact, shown lower and more uniform tread wear in comparison with the previous model. To the eye, the differences are mainly in form (the new model contains less space between the rim and the tire) and in the anchor points at the rear hub which, from the standard three, can be increased to six. Increasing the anchor points can lead to stiffness of the rim-hub ensemble which will guarantee a better “grip” at the rear.


HUB WITH SIX FASTENINGS
The new rear-ends are designed primarily to be combined with the new magnesium rims which allow up to six anchor points to the hub. For this reason the standard model has three anchor points which can be increased when necessary to improve the stiffness of the rear-end. Another novelty is the system of securing it to the axle with an aluminium strip which sets on the entire circumference of the hub, allowing it to "work" in a more efficient and stable manner.


MOTORSPORT HI-TECH STEERING COLUMN
This represents a true novelty in the kart world: the possibility to react easily and immediately with dozens of possible steering wheel angles. Due to two eccentric screws mounted at the height where the “tie rods” are anchored, it is, in fact, possible to make adjustments on both the "X" and "Y" axes. Each of the two tie rods can be adjusted in 8 different calibrations for dozens of possible combinations. At some tracks asymmetric adjustments can also be made between the right and left tires, always reacting quickly according to the position of the screws. The new steering column is made of anodized aluminium and is lighter than the standard steering column, besides being created in a much sought after and captivating design in the classic Motorsport colours.
