The appointment with the important Kart Fair of Offenbach (Germany) recorded another success of CRG as the Italian firm's booth had been crowded with a lot of visitors stopping by for the whole weekend to look up to the new production, ranging from the racing line to rental karts.

The Racing line of CRG karts caught most of the attention of the youngest, but also the new line of rental karts Centurion, the line LH as well as some other interesting novelties like the CRG kart with electric drive by Gemax Tecnology or the carbon fiber careened R1 Monaco kart, produced in collaboration with MKI Racing, roused a lot of interest.
The CRG Racing line proposed in collaboration with the German reseller CRG Prespo in Offenbach involved the whole production, ranging from the Puffo and Mini karts, to the multiple-times victorious KF and KZ chassis that have been equipped with the latest updates that allowed CRG to secure several International CIK-FIA and WSK titles in 2013, such as the KZ World Championship, the KF and KZ European Championships, the KZ1 WSK Euro Series and the KZ2 WSK Master Series.

The whole section dedicated to rental karts aroused a lot of interest at the CRG stand though, as the new line Centurion was previewed in this occasion. This is a complete range of rental karts provided with a support programme denominated R2R (Rent To Race) covering all what involves rental.
The Centurion Mini, that is the rental kart pushed by a GX120 engine unit with adjustable pedals devised for children, the Centurion Senior with GX270 engine, the spectacular Centurion Two Seats and the Centurion Big Foot specially devised for outsized drivers were showcased too.

The very powerful Centurion GX390 was also very appreciated with its front brakes that improve the safety due to the power of the engine. Everybody expressed interest for the wireless system, optional on all karts, to cut the power all the way up to the engine's switch off. All chassis have a six months warranty and can be customizable in the basic colors. The range of products is quite wide and able to meet all the needs as appreciated - due also to the engaging look devised by CRG Racing - by the very numerous visitors and staff of the fair.
A lot of curiosity was also excited by the new electric kart developed in collaboration with Gemax Technology. It features some interesting solutions in terms of acceleration capabilities and battery recharging under braking with a very good “engine braking” effect.

The careened kart R1 Monaco proposed by MKI Racing in collaboration with CRG that provided the mechanical components had also been very appreciated. The R1 Monaco kart features a carbon fiber frame and a very outlined bodywork producing ground effect, front and spoiler and rear wing. It is powered by a two stage engine with centrifuge clutch, electric engine starting, sequential gearbox with a 6 gears shift paddle, tunable caster and camber, Duralcan auto-ventilated brakes discs and 6 inch wheels. The kart will go on the market shortly.
