In the "standard" solution the VEN 11 DD system is none other than the KZ system limited to the caliper and the rear disc, with a single brake pump. However, CRG has also approved a different, very interesting solution, with a small rear disc. The concept is to make braking less aggressive and easier to change. Furthermore, the weight and the moment of inertia of the disc (that is the value of the rotating masses that tends to stop acceleration: we have explained it in detail in the article below) will be smaller and may be of help in classes such as OKJ and single-gear karts in general, since they have lower average performance and speed in relation to which the braking power of "traditional" systems can sometimes be excessive. The disc in the optional solution is, therefore, considerably reduced in size: 11 mm less than the standard version, with an external diameter that, from 192 mm, passes to181 mm. The thickness is also reduced, while the self-ventilated and perforated cast iron solution beingkept the same. CRG has developed a specific kit for the assembly of the smallest disc, with a modified disc housing and support for connecting the caliper to the chassis.

Obviously, different sizes also means different weights. We measured them! The 192 mm rear disc weighs 1380 grams, 60 more than the 1320 grams of the previous model. The same goes for the front discs, which have been increased from 630 to 705 grams. Opposite, evidently, the case of the small size disc of the VEN 11 DD, which TKart has measured equal to 950 grams. The difference between the standard rear disc and a lightened and small disc is accentuated considering the overall weight of the disc and hub, which is 1775 grams on the standard solution, and 1260 grams on the "light" solution: a reduction of 515 grams.

As anticipated, the brake pads have also been changed, and they are now orange in colour (previously, they were red). The new compound is more performing and durable than the previous one, if only due to a more uniform wear. This innovation concerns both the front and rear brake pads, as well as the rear brake pads with small discs. In the latter case, however, the brake pads are thicker to compensate for the thickness of the smaller disc.
