There is little contest out there; the Aixro is simply THE most stunning item in karting since Class 4 escaped from the Villiers!

However; you say 'experienced' and that could mean many things. I would STRONGLY advise AGAINST the Aixro unless you have at least 1 FULL year's racing in a 100/115/125 or 250cc classes. The speeds of the Aixro as nothing short of astounding! If 'amateurs' got involved in Aixro they will not have the full appreciation of the dangers of the 'impact' and 'launch' speeds that could occur. The stunningly reduced braking distances given by the front-wheel-brakes also mean that a dive-up-the-inside happens at far greater speeds and in far shorter period than most 'amateurs' are capable of judging. This is NOT a class for wheel banging!

However, if you ARE a proper ex-karter, you will be stunned! It's hard to compress the experience into words but the best I can manage is to ask you to imagine something of the simplicity of a hire-prokart to drive with a performance that can leave a 125cc GBox for dead! I know that's hard to imagine but, you'll see, that really IS a pretty good description! Oh... and corners that you used to enter FLAT are now corners where you need to brake, HARD, 50 feet from the corner! These things are EXTREMELY QUICK!
