Innovative products for an exciting and affordable riding experience, that's what Rotax kart engines stand for. Since the introduction of the Rotax 125 MAX engines in 1997, we have consistently set the standard for performance, reliability, low cost of ownership, durability and ease of use. With the Rotax E10 and E20 e-karts, Rotax is once again setting the standard in the karting market. The Rotax MAX Challenge is the largest monobrand racing series - more than 7500 racers worldwide compete each year for one of the nearly 400 coveted tickets to the season highlight: the RMC Grand Finals.
In the early 1980s, our engineers began to adapt our already popular Rotax motorcycle engines to kart racing. Since then, BRP Rotax has emerged as a leading player in the kart engines business offering a safer and more affordable karting experience without compromising on performance or the fun factor. Testament to the popularity of Rotax engines are the many Formula 1 pilots who started their racing careers in the seat of karts with Rotax engines like Max Verstappen, Kimi Raikkonen, Jenson Button, Giorgio Pantano, Anthony Davidson, Esteban Gutierrez and Robert Kubica. Rotax engines have won the most kart racing titles – and still leads the list of overall championship titles.
