Praga versus Intrepid in shifter karts

Which chassis is better for shifter and can I use the same spare parts since they both are from IPK? I like the 32mm chassis I just dont know which one I should choose, last year I won many races in the intrepid, but Praga is more established in my country and there are more parts and things if I break or want to try something new. Which is the best chassis overall? not taking in mind the spare parts, because I can just order them.

Intrepid is not IPK.
They have their own production.

Yeah Intrepid hasn’t been IPK for some years now. IPK has the OK1 (Orange Kart) instead now.

Correct, IPK makes Praga, OK1, RS (Ralph Schumacher), Formula K and they are all exactly the same, except chassis paint and sticker kit. Shifter is 30mm or 32mm (which is a 30mm everywhere, except the front hoop and diagonals, 32mm). Chassis also come in long or short wheelbase.

I am biased, but I would get IPK any day. Quality of the parts and components, consistency, longevity and ease of tuning. For KZ, you also have the advantage of the best braking system. You generally need very little spares and special parts to tune it so in my opinion, perfect chassis if you are racing outside a tent.

As for pure speed, it’s as competitive as any other top-brand chassis
