SSR Champ Karts

Bandolero Classes

Bandoleros are the bridge from karts into full-bodied race cars. Built on the INEX spec platform, every car runs an identical sealed engine package — so racecraft and driver skill determine the outcome, not the checkbook.

The Bandolero is a sealed spec series — all engines are controlled to ensure fair competition with minimal permitted modifications. Focus is on learning racecraft and working in traffic, not on horsepower.
