Some photos of the 2015 Margay kart. Made in the USA, this is the Brava 1.15 model for TaG classes such as X30 and Rotax. It uses 32mm tube, 10° KPI, 15° caster (adjustable), 50mm axle (3 bearings), adjustable ride height (front & rear), adjustable Ackerman and front torsion bar, plus lots of billet components such as the steering boss (which doubles as the fairing mount with steering lock), brakes (master cylinder & caliper) and chain adjuster.
