Among the braking systems of the 2018-2020 approval, there is also the one of the French company Sodikart. Among the different variants approved for the manufacturer, we analyse the Tekneex F13, optimised for the KZ category and mounted on Sodikart Sigma chassis (also newly approved). Compared to the past, the system has maintained it's strengths, but improved the effectiveness of braking and, above all, constant performance over time.

THE PROJECT

Thicker brake lines and brake pads; an oil pan with increased capacity; revised hydraulic circuits ... Every key component of the new Tekneex F13 braking system, 100% designed in Sodikart, but built externally, has been revised.

REAR CALIPER

The rear caliper, as in the previous models, remains divided into two parts, obtained from a solid piece to ensure uniformity and good thermo-mechanical characteristics for the body of the caliper. Although many competitors have switched to a monoblock caliper, convinced that this solution should ensure greater structural rigidity, Sodikart believes that this advantage is not really relevant compared, instead, allowing factory teams as well as privateers to work on the rear caliper with greater ease, since it can be opened into two halves.

Sodikart decided to maintain a rear caliper divided into two parts made from a solid piece, not a monoblock
